only windows who officially support running custom indicators and EA.

only c++ who officially support running custom indicators and EA.

unfortunately, my resource running low, and cheap arm device eks secondhand smartphone the only option for me.

create EA with whatever programming language, and running on low power low cost device is my dreams.

no, actually my dream is take high class rig pc and high class server pc, rent building for my EA, bad joke haha.

but now metatrader web based is on the way, beta version.

maybe 2 or 3 years later metatrader will open API, so everyone can build their own custom indicator and EA on their own language programming and device that can they purcase, or maybe 5 years later, be patien.

 
For solving keyboard layout issues in MetaEditor, go to "System Settings... > Language Support > Language tab" and choose "none" in "Keyboard input method system:" dropdown list.
 
Has anyone found a way to get mql5 market working on linux?
 

On my Debian 8 System I installed MT4 and MT5. Both work quite good. MT4/5 do not run 100% perfect but most things work fine on my wine-1.9.19 installation. I pulled wine directly from WineHQ repositories.

In MT4 I can display the HTML news. In MT5 I can not read HTML news. The Window shows "Loading ...." and nothing happens. Saving and Printing news fails on MT5 too. I think the relevant error messages are:

p { margin-bottom: 2.47mm; line-height: 120%; }

Anyone has an idea how to fix this?

 

Latest wine version (1.8) requires winhttp library in order to run  mt5setup.exe. Otherwise proxy settings dialoag box appears.

To solve this, download winetricks (latest version) and run:

winetricks winhttp

 

Hi,

I was having the same problem with ubuntun xenial but winetricks winhttp did not work for me. 


My work around was the following

1) installing latest stable version of wine with 32bit architecture

yes Y | sudo apt-get update

echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select true | sudo debconf-set-selections

yes Y | udo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

yes Y | sudo apt-get install xauth

yes Y | sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key

sudo apt-key add Release.key

sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

yes Y | sudo apt-get update

yes Y | sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot


2) Install metatrader 5 

cd /tmp

wget https://download.mql5.com/cdn/web/metaquotes.software.corp/mt5/mt5setup.exe

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Menlo; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff} span.s1 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures; color: #cd7923} span.s2 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures} span.s3 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures; color: #c33720}

wine /tmp/mt5setup.exe


p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Menlo; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff} span.s1 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures; color: #cd7923} span.s2 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures} span.s3 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures; color: #c33720}
 
Save yourself the insanity of trying to run the installer under Linux. Install it under a Windows VM and copy the directory to a Wine installation. It must be 64-bit, however.
 

Some work out of the box, use those.

 

Here is the current solution for the 32 Bit Terminal on 64 Bit Ubuntu.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging
WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

After this you will be asked to install Mono and Gecko.

After this you select compatibility mode Windows 7 or later.

And then proceed to download the installer https://download.mql5.com/cdn/web/metaquotes.software.corp/mt5/mt5setup.exe?utm_source=www.mql5.com&utm_campaign=en.0009.desktop.default

$ cd Downloads
$ wine mt5setup.exe

Which should install Metatrader 5 32 Bit.
