Note for QChartist software ( http://www.qchartist.net ) : For Linux users i recommend to install Ubuntu 12.04 with Wine 1.4 otherwise QTGuard.exe (the scanner) won't be able to use QCKill.exe when the app freezes. Now in 2022 it works with Ubuntu 18.04 i386 with Wine up to 7.0 You can find the iso here: https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04.5/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso Wine 1.4 packages are also here: https://julienmoog.com/files/index.php?dir=os%2FUbuntu+12.04%2FUbuntu+apt+cache%2F dpkg -i *.deb The repositories for older releases that are not supported (like 11.04, 11.10 and 13.04) get moved to an archive server. There are repositories available at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com. The reason for this is that it is now out of support and no longer receiving updates and security patches. I would urge you to consider a supported distribution. If your computer is too old in terms of memory or processor then you should consider a distribution such as Lubuntu or Xubuntu. If you want to continue using an outdated release then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com. You can do this with sed: sudo sed -i -re 's/([a-z]{2}\.)?archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list then update with: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wine1.4 winecfg We are ready, download http://www.qchartist.net/downloads/QChartist_install.exe Execute it with wine Go to ~/.wine/drive_c/QChartist/ on your computer Execute update.exe with wine In terminal "wineconsole cmd" can be useful to recompile with QTStart.bat Enjoy! I found that QChartist and QTGuard.Exe (the scanner) with QCKill.Exe also works under ubuntu 14.04 LTS with wine-1.6.2 Then i tried ubuntu 16.04 LTS which has also wine-1.6.2 and QTGuard.Exe can also run QCKill.Exe without problem Finally i tried ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS with wine-stable (3.0) and QTGuard.Exe failed to run QCKill.Exe (QChartist application cannot be killed by QTGuard) Maybe i will fix this problem in a future build. Fixed in 2022: now QC and QTGuard works great with Ubuntu 18.04 and with wine 3.0 to 7.0 : try winecfg with Windows XP or Windows 7 You can install wine1.6 or wine1.7 for ubuntu 12.04 available in Wine PPA To add the ppa, press Ctrl+Alt+T and run below command in terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa Remove wine1.4 first: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine1.4 Then install it after checking for updates: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wine1.7 wine1.6 and 1.7 are compatible with QTGuard scanner -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important for people who prefer to trade and making technical analysis under Linux instead of Windows, i recommend to use the following programs: - Please read this: https://www.julienmoog.com/files/os/Ubuntu%2012.04/links.txt - Install OS Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 or 16.04 with Wine 1.4 or 1.6 or 1.7 (32 bit) I found that Wine > 1.7 do not work with QTGuard (problem when killing QChartist.Exe when it freezes). Maybe this problem will be fixed in a future build of QC. - Web browser Firefox firefox-63.0.3 for using Tradingview Pro+ in order to export chart csvs - Tradingview_to_MT4_csv_converter https://www.julienmoog.com/files/trading/Tradingview_to_MT4_csv_converter/Tradingview_to_MT4_csv_converter.zip - Web browser Opera Stable 45... for using eToro and all other needs - QChartist build 173 under wine in order to start the QTGuard scanner with Yahoo Finance or Alpha Vantage Forex currencies And also QChartist build 173 under Wine in order to open Tradingview csvs and making TA - I tried to install MT4 under Wine but with difficulties. I use an old offline version of MT4 (build 226) (that i grabbed from my Windows PC) . I use it to import csvs and to use the indicators and templates of the System Sync trading system - Sometimes i use Market Warrior under Windows but i didn’t try it under Linux for the moment. All you need to trade under Linux is available for download here: https://www.julienmoog.com/files/index.php?dir=os%2FUbuntu+12.04%2F Please do not try to install Ubuntu > 16.04 because you may not be able to install Wine 1.7 or inferior ; maybe you can with the apt package playonlinux ( https://www.playonlinux.com ) but i’m not sure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can install wine1.6 or wine1.7 for ubuntu 12.04 available in Wine PPA To add the ppa, press Ctrl+Alt+T and run below command in terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa Remove wine1.4 first: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine1.4 Then install it after checking for updates: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wine1.7 wine1.6 and 1.7 are compatible with QTGuard scanner Reply Like More ...

In order to install wine 1.2 under ubuntu 8.04 : - modify your sources.list file with deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted ... deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/ hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/ hardy main - do a sudo apt-get update - You need to install the updated packages with a sudo update-manager - Then do a sudo apt-get install wine Now you have wine 1.2 installed and QChartist will work pretty well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For linux users with 32 bits old machines (nov. 2021): Since a few days, my Ubuntu 12.04 (32 bits) with Firefox-63.0.3 do not work anylonger with tradingview charts. The only solution i found is to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 with a sudo update-manager Now with version 14.04 i am able to install Firefox 66.0.3 (default) and https://www.tradingview.com/chart/ works again ! I recommand to install gnome-panel and to start the session with gnome metacity (2D is faster) You can install wine 1.6.2 (default) Please do not install snapd because my system crashed (with multi screens). (do not use desktop version of tradingview at all) synaptic and gdebi are also useful You can still install opera-stable_45.0.2552.898_i386.deb Enjoy and happy trading ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Computer- Processor : 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz Memory : 8236MB (667MB used) Operating System : Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (hardinfo) Good surprise my better computer works again! (see below) Another good surprise: my Ubuntu 12.04 (32 bits) with Firefox-63.0.3 works again with tradingview charts ! No need to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 Have a nice week end
