Hi - I have read of people getting this to work using Crossover, from Codeweavers. Sadly it is a paid product, though they offer a Free Trial. It is about 40 USD if you want to keep it. It worked for me, but there are a few other issues to sort out, Windblows is simply easier, even though I often loathe it ...
PS - I gave your idea votes ;}

I second.
Sierrachart is preparing to run on Linux (already runs very well via Crossover), but there are no currently good competitors that I know of that run natively or even well on Wine.
Though this would get Linux users such as myself on board, I can unfortunately I see that there are other priorities at this moment .....and probably easier to tackle ....

For those who want to install ctrader and calgo in linux, there is good news, fabulous news, and fantastic news.
first, the good news!!!
ctrader and calgo both work very well in linux...(on fedora 24 and latest wine)
==========================================================
next, the fabulous news!!
To install, set WINEARCH=win32 in terminal
set windows version to windows 7..
use winetricks to install dotnet2.0 and dotnet4.0...
find a way to obtain gdiplus.dll from windows7sp1 or download "windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe" from microsoft or use winetricks to install it.
if you download direct from microsoft do these:
Execute (type in linux terminal):
cabextract -q -d _gdiplus -L -F x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.17514_none_72d18a4386696c80/gdiplus.dll ~/.cache/winetricks/win7sp1/windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe
Execute (type in linux terminal):
cp _gdiplus/x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.17514_none_72d18a4386696c80/gdiplus.dll ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/gdiplus.dll
//Using native override for following DLLs: gdiplus
Execute (type in linux terminal):
wine regedit C:\windows\Temp\_gdiplus\override-dll.reg
===================================================
it's easier to do it with winetricks though...choice is yours...
next, install calgo and ctrader normally as instructed by spotware and voila!! you're in business, no more chart coruption, everything works just fine...
and now, the fantastic news, go forth and conquer with no holds barred!!!!!
cheers and God speed..

convenient option of installing gdiplus is to do it with winetricks, or failing that, download "windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe" from microsoft manually, copy to (your home folder/.cache/winetricks/win7sp1/), then use winetricks to install it.
best option, obtaind gdiplus.dll from windows 7 sp1 32bit installation, copy to wine's window/system32 folder, and do gdiplus.dll override to native in winecfg..
good luck!

The fund I work for is all Linux, using mostly in house developed algo software, and some Linux friendly off the shelf charting/analysis/admin software. Due to that the rapidly increasing volumes and other complexities can not be handled by our current software much longer we are now looking into switching platforms and are running a series of tests, cTrader/cAlgo are on our short list. Based on the latest test results then once cTrader and cAlgo are available for Linux we would likely switch to cTrader/cAlgo for some of our algos immediately. Until they are available for Linux they will never make it out of our testing sandbox I'm afraid. Oh, we do big volumes and are growing rapidly...

Hi guys
do someone try to run the last cTrader build with wine (July 2018)?
I followed these steps:
To install, set WINEARCH=win32 in terminal (WINEPREFIX=~./wine winereboot)
set windows version to windows 7 with winecfg
use winetricks to install dotnet2.0 and dotnet4.0 gdiplus
running
wine ctrader-FxPro-fxpro-setup.exe
-> installation crash
did i miss something?

I was able to get it setup with slightly modified steps,
- OS: Opensuse Tumbleweed
- Environment choice Windows 8.1 (couldn't get past a prompt to install kb3102810 using Windows 7)
- Didn't need to install gdipluss.dll
But, certainly having a native binary would be much much better.

Sorry, I have an Ubuntu machine 22.04.4 with latest Wine (2024). I have installed net 2.0 and 4.0 on win 8.1 32bit with winetricks and launched ctrader; installation complete, opened the UI and stopped automatically after 1 second. How it's possibile? Sorry for my bad english…

Porting to Linux
First - I am not a programmer, just linux fan and user.
Only because of CTrader I had to abandon Linux.
Then, as far as I know, .NET is multiplatform, so porting should be feasible.
Then there is problem of WPF - I know it's windows only, but maybe, just maybe, an interface written using QT or wxWidgets would be some middle ground and would then ensure portability without too much hassle :)
Edit:
Maybe DEVs find this interesting:
