My Crossover v13 didn't work at Yosemite so I upgraded it to the latest v14. However, MT4 is still not running. I opened a service ticket to CodeWeavers. If you are using MT4 on your Mac using Crossover, you may not want to upgrade to Yosemite till this issue's fixed.

Perhaps other Wine based tools have similar issue.

Could it be problems with build 711?
Go to your broker's site after you remove MT4. Download MT4 again. The problems have (supposedly...) been fixed.

CodeWeaver has confirmed v14 has an issue with Yosemite and while they investigate this issue, suggested to downgrade to v13.2. (v13 doesn't work.)
I will let you know once this issue's fixed.

Reportedly, v14 also has trouble even with Mavericks. v13.2 works at Yosemite but a bit clumsily. If you run more than one MT4 occurrence, you may want to make a separate Wine for each MT4 occurrence. In my experience, when they run simultaneously under the same Wine, they crash.

Have you thought about running it in VirtualBox using a VM from http://modern.ie? (They come with 90 day expiration periods, but once you boot up for the first time, the desktop will have instructions on rearming the VM for continued use as long as you need it).

edit: assuming there haven't been problems with VBox on 10.10.

I don't want to pay even a penny to MS to buy their lousy Windows. It's heavy and requires the same maintenance.

You don't have to. That's the whole point of modern.ie, Microsoft released these absolutely for free to spur testing in multiple OS environments.
