We Need A Linux Distro For Trading

Quote from gpw797:

I plowed through all 12 pages of this thread and couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I have been using Linux for 4 months but have yet to find a trading package that fits my needs:

1) Linux native app (I tried sierra charts under wine with no sucess)
2) IB data feed
3) real time charting

I would prefer native app but if anybody knows of anything that works under wine with IB data please let me know, thanks.

I belive that it is possible to get QuoteTracker working under wine. I have had it working in the past, but on a later release of QT and a later wine and 2.6 kernel, I could get it to install and run from the installer but not startup normally. I did not persue the issue too far but I believe it is probably solvable and would be worth the effort of doing so.

I have my own real time charting written in Java which is why I havn't followed this up further.

In case you want to be creative and roll your own charts, look half way down this page for a screenshot of a bar-charting example.

I've had AmiBroker and a couple other apps running under Wine before without tweaking. Other apps that don't seem to run at all will usually run fine if you read the Wine instructions and play with the settings a bit....

There are quite a few Linux threads already here on ET, you should look them up. There have been links to a few linux-native apps posted as well. I'm currently using an online java charting app which I'm 100% happy with so I'm not really up to date on what linux apps are out there anymore.
 
Try linspire, thats what i use

You'll be up and running in 10 minutes, and it stays up until you turn off

No virus or spyware problems, you just use it like you do your oven, how pc's are supposed to be!

Stop computing, DO something useful with your pc
 
please read my post .. I am NOT looking for distro.. have that .. running ubuntu 5.10 .. what I am looking for is native real time charting packages that run on linux preferably with IB data.
