@gtaranti, Which distro are you using? Couple of thoughts, 1, I think Bottles are totally unnecessarily, since Wine already works flawlessly. 2, I am using Linux Mint, under Date & Time settings, I always turn 'Network time' on, so, I won't have accuracy issues. |

@Tony, I'm using Bluefin. 1. I'll try Wine but Bottles adds some enhancements. 2. I also have 'Automatic Date & Time' which supposedly synchronizes with internet time. Also this '6 secs off' I doubt it's true. |

hey gtaranti, yeah, 6 seconds is a big deal, especially when market is volatile, I would try use USA server instead of European server 1st, or simply disable NTP client. What I am doing right now is writing a ACSIL study to monitor any discrepancy between last price and computer time, if the difference is more than 1 second, I will get a warning: // other code
int SecondsDelayed { sc.IsReplayRunning() ? 0 : (sc.CurrentSystemDateTime - sc.BaseDataEndDateTime[sc.Index]).GetTimeInSeconds() }; if (SecondsDelayed >= 2) // warning message on screen // other code Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-09-29 15:24:26

Does anybody know how to get the sierra zip downloader to load into all the files in the correct file path? What is used in place of C:\SierraChart ? I am new to Linux, downloaded and installed Cinnamon & Wine & the sierra zip installer into the downloads folder. Not sure how to get it installed & running. Thanks for any help |

@User303857 post #779 SierraChart is a portable program. On Linux, with Wine installed, you would simply run the installer's .exe file. If you choose the ZIP version [Software Download: Zip Installer Detailed Instructions], create a folder, for example, in the path /home/myuser/SierraChart or in the path of your choice, and extract the contents of the ZIP file there. Then simply run “SierraChart.exe” and the program will run with your default Wine settings. If you want more settings, for example for the theme to use, I prefer to install SierraChart using Winetricks, in an isolated “Wineprefix”, and there I configure a dark theme just for the platform. |
