My question is: I've had several custom MT4 EA's that I use to read .CSV files created from custom studies in my Sierra Charts to know when to open and close orders based on my signals; could these systems theoretically work under LINUX + WINE or CROSSOVER environment? I know the only way is to test, but looking for more wisdom before dumping hours in it.
All you need is to install wine/crossover, create a bottle and install both SC and MT4 there... Theoretically everything is going to work. Practically, I know that some MT4 EAs have issues on Linux but its not the place to elaborate more on that :) Do a test, if the EAs are going to work, everything else will be doing just fine. Piece of advice so you don't lose time, get Ubuntu LTS for stability and less fuss and also get CrossOver so you don't mess around with Wine versions in the long term, coming from my own experience, these will save you tremendous amount of time so you can focus on studies/trading etc. |
