Ninjatrader 7 works with linux via wine

[davidbrooke]

Aaand downdate..

Some dll doesn't show up, Ninja can't start second time without deleting the folders in Documents and reinstall/repair.

This could be the KDE 5 though - some "Plasma couldn't do something" errors showed up while I downloaded msxml3/dotnet30/mdac27 with winetricks. Last time I tried it was on KDE 4, if winetricks commands are executed without -q it will probably show more.

KDE5 on Gentoo with NT7 works fine. I use it on both KDE4 and KDE5, my live account is on gentoo stable with KDE4.

There is some new version of Mono included in Wine 1.7.50+ I think? Have you tried installing Ninja in Mono, without dotnet??

In Fedora last version is 49 and I don't want to add betas/bleeding edges repositories, I'll have 50-51 next week probably - I'll give it a try and share then. If you trade on the Linux system you should not mess it up only for this I mean.

Update, update!!

Fedora 22, Wine 1.7.49 - Ninja installs, starts and connects to FXCM without any trouble.

Two commands from prev. threads with all the B.S. in them, libxslt.i686 and isdn4k-utils.i686 before Ninja.

Another week of stable use. See Gentoo link in 1st post for more details.

Further progress has been made. NT7 was stable enough to use the past week but still needs polish. See Gentoo link in 1st post for more details.

Attached is a photo which shows improvement over the last. If you reference the earlier photos and zoom in, you will see the tails are not centered as well as the fill of the candle. The attached photo's tails and fill on the candles are correct.

Speed/performance?

The same as my current windows 8.1. I see no difference at this point since I don't have both systems setup identical to test.

If the machine ID cannot be created it would seem it will not be compatible with Addon products licensing.

I'm not sure how to correct this issue, maybe others can comment? Here is the log error message in NT7:
"Default Failed to retrieve processor information to build machine ID: 'ProcessorNameString' not found"

I have made some further progress which has improved stability but there is still work to be done. Currently I'm running. See Gentoo posting for further details:

Also see attached photo.
Thanks
