How To Run Forex Tester Simulator On A Mac

As you know, Forex Tester was only available for Windows for a long time. Macbook users could not download the program and freely use Forex Tester to backtest their strategies. It was unfortunate, we know. That’s why we have prepared a solution for you. Here’s how you can use Forex Tester on MacOS.

Parallels Desktop — Your Key to Forex Simulator for Mac

Parallels Desktop is the most convenient way to run Forex Tester simulator for Mac.

Parallels Desktop is a virtualization software that enables users to run multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS, simultaneously on a Mac computer. It works by creating a virtual machine, a software-based emulation of a computer, within the macOS operating system. This allows users to install and run other operating systems and their applications as if they were running on separate hardware.

Simply put, you install a virtual operating system inside your operating system. This way, you can run Forex Tester for Windows while continuing to use your MacBook with MacOS.
