Mac User VPS Guide

MARONII WEBHOOK TERMINAL can be managed from your Mac browser. However, stable 24/7 MT5 EA operation generally requires a Windows environment. For Mac users, the recommended setup is to run MT5 + EA on a Windows VPS, while using Mac for monitoring and control.

If you do not have a VPS yet, review ABLE NET VPS Guide first. After ordering, continue from the remote connection section below.

Video overview

Start by understanding role separation between Mac, VPS, Webhook Terminal, and MT5.

1. Why Mac-only operation is difficult

TradingView and Webhook Terminal are browser-based and work fine on Mac.
MT5 EA runs only while MT5 is active on a compatible environment.
Sleep, shutdown, network interruptions, and updates can stop local operation.
VPS usually offers easier recovery and stability for continuous operation.

2. Recommended architecture

Mac: alert creation, monitoring, and dashboard operations.
TradingView: sends alerts to Webhook URL.
Webhook Terminal: receives and queues strategy signals.
Windows VPS: runs MT5 + EA continuously and executes signals.

3. How to choose a VPS

Choose Windows Server plans.
Start with sufficient CPU/RAM for your account/chart scale.
Select region close to broker infrastructure when possible.
Check uptime, support quality, reboot behavior, and backup options.
