Linux Charting Application

I've mentioned metatrader before, I've  been a bit unhappy that I've had to run windows in order to use the great technical analysis indicators and all the other goodies in it, well I've just worked out how to run metatrader 4 in Linux.

I use Ubuntu and it runs ok with the version of wine which is in the Ubuntu application repository, the only issue is that none of the fonts on the menu's work correctly so it makes it rather difficult to do anything much ;) The solution (read about the problem in this bug) to this was to upgrade to the latest version which is on the wine website and it all runs correctly (as far as I've tested, I haven't yet tested experts advisors etc.).

I should also mention that I had to find MFC42.dll in order for it to work, this was easy from an existing windows installation, note that I did a search online for MFC42.dll and the version I found did not work.

Here's a screenshot, click if you want to look at the bigger version.
