I can recommend Bottles (https://usebottles.com/ configured to "Gaming Environment"). In my case on Debian and default Wine setup the cpu usage was 25-30% but by the Bottles it's around 5-15%. I don't know is it just me but give it a try.

A few updates: In the latest SC and Wine updates today, order allocation seems to be working when adding more than one account. I've not had a hard SC freeze in testing today yet. I will keep testing throughout the week and report back. Latest configuration: SierraChart Version 2466 64 bit (2 instances) wine-8.0-rc4 Mint Linux 21.1/Cinnamon desktop Kernel 5.15.0-58 generic AMD Ryzen 7 3800X GeForce GTX 1660 Nvidia/6 GB GDDR5/Driver 470.161.03/OpenGL Dual Monitors 1920X1080 60 Hz for both monitors Total System RAM: 16 Gig Memory usage: <700 Meg each instance running 2 instances. I added some more memory intensive studies. CPU Utilization: <5% per SC instance 102 Charts, 4 instruments (ES, YM, NQ, RTY) 51 charts per instance Denali data-feed with MBO data Teton Order Routing with Stage5/Advantage Rithmic for trader evaluations and PA account RealVNC for remote access Updated 1/14/23 PS: FYI: While the order allocation issue has been happening, I've been using a workaround. I set up a samba share in Linux, connected a network drive to the samba share in Windows, pulled up the relevant charts from Windows network drive, updated the allocation accounts, saved. Then closed charts in Windows and pulled up the charts in Wine/Linux. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-01-14 20:56:47

Thanks so much ertrader! So, it went from 48 charts to 102 charts?!! Was that just for testing purpose or you actually need those many? :D Also, I have you noticed any significant change between Wine 8 and Wine 7? I am still using Wine 7, and not sure if I should upgrade, on the fence. |

I added an additional instance and 3 charts which effectively duplicated the chart setup. There is a way to reduce this and use 1 instance, however, I have to work out some of my trade automation menu buttons. It's not difficult, just need to take some time and do it. wine-8.0-rc4 came out today for my platform and all of the release candidates have been solid. That has been the biggest difference for me, solid and now the allocation issue may be resolved. One of the Wine 7 development versions used more memory than usual but I'm not sure which it was. The last Wine 7 development version was good..now they focus on bug fixes only for Wine 8. Wine 8 went into code freeze at rc1 (release candidate 1) a few weeks ago and have been addressing bugs only (no new features) with the ongoing release candidates. Also, I do not know if it was bug fixes in Wine 8 rc4 or the new SC release which possibly fixed the order allocation issue. SC had spent some time to resolve so it could be a combination of both. There is minimal risk to updating to Wine 8-0-rc4 but if things are working for you, it may be more straightforward to wait till the final Wine 8 release in the next 2-4 weeks. https://www.winehq.org/announce/8.0-rc4 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-01-15 16:21:44

In testing this week, I am still seeing the order allocation freezing issue unfortunately.

A few updates: In the latest SC V2484 and Wine 8.4, order allocation is working with than one account. For me, it's worked since Wine 8.3 was released a couple weeks ago. I will keep testing.

I've tested at least 20-30 times with the latest version of Wine 8.4 and have not had one freezing issue regarding order allocation adding multiple accounts.

A few updates: In the latest SC V2497 and Wine 8.7 Development, order allocation continues to work without issues after 100+ tests. I'm considering this a closed issue for now.

Microsoft Windows Is Truly Garbage. An Abomination. Software That is Woke and Insane Sierra Chart on Linux let's gooo! @ertrader Nix has some sort of "recipes" that can be shared to replicate and OS installation and/or configuration with Sierra Chart? |

If Nix has some configurations that are working well.. that is good to hear! For my installation, I have kept "stock" Mint Linux and Wine configurations. Over the last 6 years of using Linux, issues have come up but are resolved. I have worked with alternate Wine offerings (Crossover and Proton GE Eggroll..both good offerings) but ultimately everything worked in the "stock" versions of Mint Linux/Wine with SC. A Linux version of SC is something that has been discussed for many years. Someday hopefully we will see an SC/Linux version! In addition to X86 Linux, I can even imagine Linux ARM or Linux Risk-V versions too...wow! OK....dreaming now. :) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-05-05 18:56:51

Does Wine work with ARM processors?

ertrader - Posts: 670 |
Here is what I found on WineHQ. It looks like there might be a way, as long as the binaries are ARM compatible/compiled. It is more than I am able to get working but for those willing to experiment, it may be something to try. https://wiki.winehq.org/ARM Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-05-06 22:45:25

Does Wine work with ARM processors?
I've seen some developers run Steam and various games with wine on Apple's M1 and other ARM platforms. This was done with either FEX or Box32/64 https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64 https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX |

Hi all, any idea how to Exit and Save SC in Linux terminal? Do it on dozens of instances makes me crazy. Thanks! |

Tony - Posts: 511 |
@User42554, I don't think you can exit SC in terminal, what you could do though is kill Wine in terminal, but I usually just close the SC window, any particular reasons you want to do it in terminal? Not sure what you meant by "Save SC" |

@Tony Kill doesn't solve issue with Exit > Save all (Save SC), when you use kill, all unsaved changes are gone! "SC window, any particular reasons you want to do it in terminal?" Because of dozens of instances. Started them from terminal is easy. |

One option you could try is to use one of the GUI automation tools like AutoIt, Winbatch, AutoHotkey etc. under Wine. I used AutoIt a few years ago and it worked well and you can execute from the command line, hot keys and other ways. For native Linux GUI automation tools, below is a link: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/linux-automation-apps/ Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-06-17 16:23:31

you can automate exit by enabling UDP api: UDP Interface: Exit Program sample python snippet import socket sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) msg = "EXIT" sock.sendto(msg.encode(), ("localhost", 22904)) sock.close() |

Thanks ertrader! Do we have any privacy concerns using RealVNC since all the data went a round trip via their servers? I subscribed it for a year and just canceled it. |

There have been a few security issues over the last couple years mostly on Windows, however, they did get resolved. https://help.realvnc.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002478311-Are-there-any-known-security-vulnerabilities-#internally-identified-no-remote-threat-local-access-required--0-2 Also, they have been audited by third parties to be quite good. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220609005211/en/RealVNC-Becomes-First-and-Only-Remote-Access-Solution-to-Complete-White-Box-Audit-to-Validate-Security Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-06-30 21:06:30
