In the latest version 1941, when attempting to open the trade service log, SC creates a rectangle bar across the screen at the top rather than opens the log. I've tried Wine 4.0.1 and 4.12 and both have the same issue. There is an X on the right that allows me to close it and it happens without any charts. Not sure which version this started happening. Does anyone know if there is a way to see the trade services log outside of SC? I've looked in the various directories in SC. Ideally, it would be fixed at some point.

Must be something local, because I do not experience this issue, neither with 1941 or 1944. The Trade Service Log appears correctly for me. I'm running a setup almost identical to yours (I followed your instructions: Mint, Wine 4.12, SC 1941/44).

OK, USER error! The window had been reset somehow to look like that. Right mouse clicking and then resizing it back to normal did the trick...I appreciate the feedback! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-07-07 00:58:10

After upgrading to Wine 4.12 when launching Sierra, there is a Wine error window popping up. Then when closing it down, SC opens properly. Anybody experience this problem? Previously it was the Mono Installer/Updater that run automatically first, when starting SC after upgrading wine, so I guess it is related to that and not SC but do not know how to fix it.

I’ve not updated to wine 4.12, still running 4.11. I’ve not seen that before though. I’ll let you know if I have any uses issues after I update Not sure how to do it but have you tried rolling back to 4.11? Btw what version of Sierra are you running? I think they may have introduced OpenGL in 1945 but it was pulled as some folks had issues Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-07-07 10:15:48

Thank you ganz - a quick Wine 4.12.1 update solved the problem. sunnyod: this works fine now with both SC 1941 and 1946.

Hi all. A couple things: Updated to Wine 4.17 with no issues when it was released a couple weeks ago. I've had good success with SC up to 1991. I'm using SC's data feed which has been great. With 1997 I'm having freezing issues when connecting to data. Is anyone else seeing this? 1991 has been solid but when updated to 1997 over the weekend, I had these issues: Custom Study Stability Issue Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-10-07 20:52:41

Thanks for the info, haven't tried the 1997 yet, I'm still on the 1991 but will check it out now and let you know.

testing a chartbook about 1997 stability ( which didn't experienced any problem in here ), i noticed that that user was using a chart with attached tradewindow. I said: In wine don't use "attached trade window on a chart". It will make SierraChart use alot of CPU for no reason ( this doesn't happens on windows ). In my system, just dettaching the trade window from the chart ( leaving it as a separated window ) makes SierraChart use about less 20% CPU immediatly. Can anyone confirm this, or it only happens to me ?

Hi Alex, can you please advise regarding what you use to measure the CPU usage? I run several Chart DOMs (also standalone DOMs) but not trade windows in my chartbooks and would like to check their effect vs using separate windows (with or without trade window). thanks in advance, tt

ticinotrader: I usually use htop, but any desktop system monitor tool should be good. ( although some cpu monitor divide usage by total number of cores, i disable that )

Thanks! I am trying the 1997 now. I can confirm, there is a visible ~15-20% difference (increase) in CPU usage when attached trade windows are displayed. But I do not see any visible difference between attached or standalone DOMs in terms of CPU. ertrader: I do not experience any problem when loading chartbooks with 1997 (64) + wine 4.17

Thank you and I appreciate the feedback! I've determined this not to be a Wine/Linux issue. Both windows 10 and Wine demonstrate the same issues and have submitted a chart for testing.

At this point, everything has been resolved as best I can tell. I'm on SC 2007 and Wine 4.19 and ever since the issues were fixed... stability and speed are back! Custom Studies has issue on windows 10

Alex, I can also confirm that attached trade windows are causing a huge uptick in cpu usage. I detach the trade window and cpu usage is normal. Another interesting thing to note is opening a menu in sierra chart, such as Global Settings at the top, the cpu reduces to normal. Upon closing said menu, cpu increases back to +20%. I'm using wine 4.0-2 and sierra 2028.

The cpu increase is seen using wine 4.2 as well.

William..thanks for the info. I'm not seeing increases in CPU usage. Attached trade windows is exactly how I have been set up from the beginning. I tested attaching, detaching, closing, reattaching... all had no increase in CPU. I'm on wine-5.0-rc3, however, I've not seen this before in any other releases. I'll keep trying and let you know if I see anything. SC 2028 64 Bit wine-5.0-rc3 Mint Linux 19.3 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-12-31 21:22:39

Since AFTER SC 2028, I'm unable to get trade statistics. I can see trade stat information but it is old and changing the symbol and date changes do not update the stats. 2028 works but when they went to file based activity in 2031, trade stats stopped updating. Does anyone else have this problem on Wine? SC 64 bit v 2031 and above demonstrate the problem Wine 5.0RC6

I've been able to get it working: 1) I changed permissions on the TradeActivityLogs directory (read/write for files and create/delete files for directories) Have not had to do this ever, files were already being created and updated without issue. 2) Downloaded and reinstalled 2036 3) tested and appears to be working now SC V2036 64 bit Wine 5.0 RC6 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-01-21 16:06:00

It would be great, no question about that, but I think if this would be a possibility, they would already offer an Open Source version of SC. SC works hard on separating the base and UI components, so at least there could be an option to get precompiled base modules for various operating systems and an interface to provide the UI components by the user.
