I don't want to pay for it

Get a fucking job.

You need Linux, but you are just lost.

I would like to use Linux really I would but I'm using a trading application that is designed for Windows and it has its own programming language and there's just too many operating systems specific issues for me to try to go through all the BS to get it to run on Linux I understand I could use wine but it's never going to be perfect

[–]binaryblob 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (23 children)

Which trading application would that be? Using applications that only run on one operating system is a bad trade.

I do not need a trading application that runs on multiple platforms that serves no purpose for me. The thing that I like about my trading platform is that it is used by Brokers around the world so if I spend years developing automated trading software that runs on it and I need to switch Brokers there are many Brokers that I can choose from to go to another broker that is one of the biggest points the second point is that this platform has a very nice programming language built into it that is pretty much identical to C language.

If it makes a difference I use version 4 and not version 5

Seems like the trading software provider for the Russian maffia.

I can't find an installation link for version 4. For version 5 there is a native Linux version. Some people are married to old versions, but that generally has security risks associated with it.

Being able to switch brokers in an instant is a nice advantage, but as a European many US brokers aren't available. I wouldn't know which broker to switch to. There's like two serious candidates available that aren't extremely expensive.

There are only a couple of regulated brokers in the United States

Also there really isn't the Linux version and if you click the link for downloading the Linux version you're going to find out that it's simply instructions on how to run a Windows version using wine

Thank you for your time

I am sorry for not doing all the work required, but in my defense, a company using the Linux logo when all they have is a Windows build, is probably infringing on the Linux trademark (as evidenced by me being confused, which is generally the bar for misuse of trademarks). On the other hand, an actually supported version of the application should probably work, although perhaps your own tests have shown worse performance (etc.). Some wine applications work faster on Linux than on Windows, however.

It would have been more honest, if they had used a wine glass (for wine) instead of a Linux logo, because the platform is arguably wine, not Linux.

If I had a billion dollar hedge fund, I'd get rid of Windows and use the wine build in testing, until I was happy with the performance. If you are below $10M, not changing anything would make sense.

However, after actually reading their instructions, it's obvious to me that these people are ignorant regarding Linux. I'd run from anyone with a business that is so confidently stupid, just like your "Thank you for your time" was probably intended as "Thanks for wasting my time". I get it.

Actually native multi-broker Linux programs seem to be non-existent or hard to find. If you ever learn of such a program, please reply.

Quite interesting that MetaTrader was banned from the App store. Do you know why that happened? (Also an excellent reason for not using any computer where you can't control the software installed, although with something like MetaTrader you never know whether there isn't something anti-user hidden).

That is actually not true if I want to tell you to piss off I will tell you directly.

I was saying thank you for your time.

I do not know the reason why meta Trader was temporarily banned from the Play Store and I won't speculate other than to say that I find it interesting that they sell their software server to unregulated and criminally minded offshore brokerages. God only knows why they got banned from the Play Store.

I wish I had software that would allow me from the command line to read my account information such as balance equity and profit loss and to open and close trades and to read my current open trades all from the command line.

One thing that I find very questionable about the meta Trader software is that they advertise worthless trading robot software inside of the platform under the market tab and they charge up to $30,000 for these softwares

Again I say that I appreciate your time

This can be automated quite easily. (Read: a top student that can program can get this working in a week. You can probably also get it to work if you ask ChatGPT for the how. If you are really serious about this, I could also build something.)

I'd expect it's a money laundering scheme, then.

I am just happy we both can share something of interest or at least attempt to do so. I was not aware of wine for Android.

This can be automated quite easily

Setting up something where I can use trading functions that run at the command line can only be done if the broker allows it.. the broker has to have an API setup that I can communicate with in order for me to do that and so automating it is not something you can do unless the broker wants you to do it. Unless of course there's something you know that I don't know.

Just FYI I have been programming for 40 years I started programming on an Atari 400 / 800 in 1983 programming Atari basic with line numbers and then I transition to assembler and then in 1991 I began programming C language.

In 1993 I was incarcerated and I had a job writing software C language code by hand and mailing it to my client no chance to compile it or test it I wrote my code double spaced on legal pads and I filled as much of the lines as I could with code I wrote One program that was 43.5 legal pad pages long double spaced it had full on screen editing a database editor form it handled all four arrow keys it handled the backspace key the delete key you could create a record edit a record save a record delete a record and search for a record.

I earned $50 per week while I was incarcerated and received a $1,500 bonus the day I walked out.

My code that I wrote by hand was absolutely perfect it ran exactly as expected.

When I got out of jail and got my $1,500 bonus I flipped that into $12,000 in 2 weeks.

In other words I am a somewhat capable programmer.

Kind regards

I don't know if you're aware but there is actually a wine app for Android but I don't know how well it works because I have not tried it
