The most important software for me is Technical Analysis and Charting Software and a trading software.

For Technical Analysis and Charting software I use qtstalker, a Linux native technical analysis software which is a good software, but I need something more flexible, and that is Amibroker since I found it is easier to write formula code in Amibroker.

Unfortunately my first attempts were not successful, Amibroker on Wine keep quiting on me. But then, thanks to the Internet, I found the workaround. Read the Amibroker on Wine workaround here. With the latest Wine (i.e. 1.1.26) Amibroker 5.20 runs almost perfectly with just a little glitches i.e. sometimes color picking hangs Wine and fonts not rendered correctly (as you can see in screenshot below, just hover your mouse above it and it will correctly rendered). Here's the screenshot :

 

Amiquote, Amibroker's data downloader works under Wine too, another workaround I found was if you use Amiquote to download today’s prices from Yahoo! Current use 100 as number of symbols per request in Amiquote’s setting. I’ve tried 200, and it wouldn’t update Amibroker’s database.

For trading software, I use HOTS. Which runs better now with Wine 1.1.26.

Want to try Amibroker? Download Amibroker free trial here. Note that I am not Amibroker reseller. Just sharing some information.
