## Platform-Specific Examples

### macOS with MetaTrader 5.app

```yaml
wine_executable: "/Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/Contents/SharedSupport/wine/bin/wine64"
terminal_dir: "~/Library/Application Support/net.metaquotes.wine.metatrader5/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5"
defaults:
  symbol: "XAUUSDc"
  timeframe: "M5"
  deposit: 10000
```

### macOS with CrossOver

```yaml
wine_executable: "/Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/bin/wine64"
terminal_dir: "~/Library/Application Support/MetaQuotes/Terminal/<hash>/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5"
```

### Linux

```yaml
wine_executable: "/usr/bin/wine64"
terminal_dir: "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5"
display:
  mode: headless
  xvfb_display: ":99"
```

## Headless Mode (Linux VPS)

```yaml
display:
  mode: headless
  xvfb_display: ":99"
  xvfb_screen: "1024x768x16"
```

Requires:
```bash
sudo apt install xvfb
```

## Auto-Detection

`setup.sh` automatically detects:
- Wine executable (MetaTrader 5.app, CrossOver, or system Wine)
- MT5 terminal directory
- Architecture (Apple Silicon adds `arch -x86_64`)
- Display mode (GUI vs headless)

Run `setup.sh` whenever you move the installation.
