How come!!! MetaTrader the most used and the basic software for every broker in the world and you still cannot program the software for multiple operating systems!!!

Why should I use Wine to run MetaTrader!!!

How is it so tricky that MT5 is installed and Strategy Tester Agent works correctly in it.

But if you try to install pure Strategy Tester Agent in the same way, it fails?

Strange things and notes that it works only on vindex....

It's all VMs on my main home computer. It is convenient to have, for example, clipman in the panel and a layout indicator.

On later and purely trading ones I use IceWM.

Just in case: IceWM had to be abandoned. It doesn't seem to work quite correctly with Wine.

 
Hello friends, good evening.

A question, I'm having problems running mql5 robots on Linux, I download a robot that I wanted to test before starting my studies in the language, but an error screen appears.

I realised it was an executable compatibility error.
Can anyone tell me if I need to switch from mql5 to .deb to be able to attach it to the platform?

Other than that, can anyone tell me how to make a connection to the market via the platform itself?
I don't use the official mql5 platform, I use the xm one.
Maybe that's the error?

If you have an mql5 file, open the platform editor on linux and open that mql5 file in it and compile it. This will generate the correct file for the platform to attach to the graphs. It would be advisable to close the platform after generating the file and open it again so that it appears.

Perhaps to clarify your question you could attach screenshots as we can't see your error on your screen.

 
Indicators - Market
After installing MT5 on linux, copy the windows data folder to the linux data folder.
The indicators, previously installed via the market, do not work.
You need to remove all the indicators from the indicator list and install the indicators again on linux to get them working again.
Here's a tip for those who don't know and here's a tip for the Devs to try to identify what's causing the problem.
 

Good afternoon!

I have wine-8.14 and for some reason above build 4153 the functions ObjectTotal, ChartRedraw, sometimes ObjectsDeleteAll does not work, maybe some more. Previously, everything worked without problems, on vinde also everything works.

Maybe someone has encountered something like this and if someone else has a similar problem. Thanks in advance for the answer, it is very necessary to debug it somehow.

You can try to upgrade wine to version 9.

You can try to upgrade wine to version 9.

There are new builds out now everything is ok. I updated wine too. Thanks!

 

Good evening, everyone.

According to the procedure, I installed MT5 on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and it was a success. But I have a question: there are two files in the /home/"my_user"/ folder, an executable and a script: mt5setup.exe and mt5ubuntu.sh.

Since the Metatrader5 package is in the /home/"my_user"/.mt5 folder, can these files (mt5setup.exe and mt5ubuntu.sh) be deleted from the /home/"my_user"/ folder?

Cheers.
