Max Enrik:
Also looks like your indicator works fine.
( you can delete my this comment ) - :)

The standard indicators work, as well as the ones you compile yourself.

So not the ones you buy from market, and also signals services will not work.

I will try to write indicator for myself after my greatest EA's finished.
( actually I was started but it's working for single timeframe - and I will improve it a bit more )

In this video I show how I install MT4 on ubuntu using wine and PlayOnLinux. Also see my article with written instructions: http://hub.me/ajPEY
 

Instructions don't work on Ubuntu 17.10 as the PPA is deprecated and the winehq version does not work.

Installing with PlayOnLinux hangs.

I have found an easy way to use mt4 on linux. I use linux mint cinnamon.


1-Find the folder in your windows computer, May be it is c: program files (x86)/ Meta Trader 4 IC Markets. 

2-Copy this folder any where in your linux computer.

3-Open this folder and right click terminal.exe, choose open with wine  ( I have Q4wine so I choose Q4wine)  now your MT4 is running on linux.

4-Bad news is no market tab, and can not adjust the tester speed.

5-Good news is you can do the same thing to run MT5 and MT5 has market tab and tester speed.






 
As much as I love Linux, I run MT4 in Virtual Box on my Manjaro desktop. The VM is Windows 10. Everything is blazing fast. However, I have a crazy quick Ryzen processor with 32 gigs of RAM. That's probably why is works flawlessly. Having enough RAM is key for proper VM performance.
 
Marco vd Heijden:

I did already.

Many times actually.

But people keep posting these proxy problems without searching the site for a solution.

The installer fails to set up a secure connection and as a result the proxy window appears.

The solution is to update the necessary packages, Gecko and Mono.

Or to use a portable version of metatrader since it is not necessary to actually install the terminal.

A portable copy will run fine.(even the one straight from your C: drive !)

As for the (Market) indicators and EA's no they do not work and have never worked,

Simply because if they did it would become peanuts to copy them and this would pose a security threat for the developers/sellers.

Here is it is on Kali, directly from the Live DVD !

For those that want to be sure about things, (and stay in control) you can monitor your system and connections in Kali, using the build in WireShark.




Here are the steps for Knoppix, directly from USB Drive or (micro)-SD Card.

In case of a system failure you can use this USB Drive to boot up (almost) any machine as to manage your open positions.

It works out of the box with mobile modems in case your local connection drops.

Security is important if you take trading seriously.

Anyway here are the steps.

That's it !


In case you wonder about the USB drive itself just download the Knoppix ISO (currently 7.6.1) and burn it to your USB drive with UnetBootin.

MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE CORRECT DRIVE (!)OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR FILES/DATA !!!

If you are not sure just don't do it and ask someone who knows how to do it.

If that's done you can boot your system from the USB Drive and set up your trading environment following the steps above.

And you will be able to take your personal trading environment with you, anywhere you go.

Why does EA fail on Linux systems?
