OK thanks for letting me know. They told me the same in the past and it didn’t actually work, so I’m reluctant to move off FT2 on my Mac.

Hello Hugh. I contacted them and they said that FT3 doesn’t work with wine either, but they told me that works with Wmware. I didn’t try it yet, so I can’t be sure.
Thank you for your time!

Hi Angelo,

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, I’ll have to update that, since this article was written awhile back. Forex Tester 3 cannot be used on VMs. I personally still use FT2 on VMWare Fusion/Windows.

A few days ago I tried to install Forex Tester on my VirtualBox (running on an Ubuntu Linux system) and the installation returned an error, because apparently Forex Tester CANNOT run on a virtualized system. I’ll try again using Wine and we’ll see. It might be a problem only on my computer, but I wanted to warn about the issue.

Thank you!

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the tips, definitely valuable. TradingView is a nice platform, I haven’t gotten into it much. I stay away from places where people give their trading opinions for free. Too many different opinions from unproven sources never helps anyone, IMO.

Thanks again and hope your trading is going well!

Cheers,
Hugh

I’ve enjoyed all the podcasts and articles that you’ve published.

QTstalker and ChartGeany are charting packages that work in Linux, I have installed both but have not really tested them.

Another VM option is Oracle VirtualBox (free).
I’ve found VirtualBox easier to use than VMware because all the peripherals, sound, network, printer, etc just work, and it’s really easy to setup.
I can run Windows 7 in a Virtualbox maximized on one screen and OpenSuse (KDE) on the other.

(I am trialling Amibroker in Windows at the moment.)

(I use Openuse 13.1/Windows 7 on my main machine, Linux Mint on other machines for people that I care about, and Chrome with Ubuntu (via Crouton) on a chromebook, and android on phones.)

What do you think of tradingview ?

Robert
