MT4 Connection Instructions for MAC

Step by Step Guide

 Although the MT4 platform was not originally made for MAC OS, TopstepFX™ has a custom downloadable version of the platform which can run natively on any MAC computer.*

*Due to a recent update with Catalina some traders may have issues connecting to the 32-bit version of MT4 on their MAC (which is currently the only version available).

  1. Log into your TopstepFX™ account.
  2. Navigate to your Trader Dashboard.
