Sierrachart installaion on GNU/Linux Ubuntu 11.04

[MattscheAN]

Sierrechart is a Chart Analysistool for Professionals and for Windows, wanna use it on Ubuntu?

1.
First you have to install Wine on your Linux Machine:

Code:

$sudo apt-get install wine

Under Ubuntu it will install winetricks for you too. On other Machines you will install it by yourself.


2.
Download Sierrachart Software from: http://www.sierrachart.com/downloads/SierraChartSetup.exe

3.
Download Sierrachartfeed from: http://mining.bitcoin.cz/media/download/sierrachartfeed-0.2.exe
This will load the feed of all bitcoincharts.com listet Symbols for you, so you can use them with Sierracharts.

4. Install .NET Framwork with winetricks:

Code:

$winetricks dotnet20

and

Code:

$winetricks vcrun2008

5. Install Sierrachart:

Code:

$wine SierraChartSetup.exe 

When started register with the Sierrachart Page Service. It will give you a 15day Trial but you can use it for bitcoin charts as long as you want.

6. Startup sierrachart bridge feed:

Code:

$wine sierrachartfeed-0.2.exe -s thEUR

Whereas after -s it takes the Symbol of all bitcoinchats.com listed markets. You can start multiple feeds.

7. Open feed in Sierrachart:
In Sierrachart window click File->Open Intraday trading and open the .scid File with the feed you want.

You can now use Sierracharts for Bitcoin markets.


In Unity i have some trouble with the windows, so i use it mostly not in maximized format.


Have Fun!

Great howto, works for me. Please update link to sierrachart binary, I just released version 0.3 which is addin multicurrency support for mtgox.

Please note that latest Sierrachart doesn't require .NET libraries, so it run under Wine without any issues (just download installer and run in wine).

I only seem to have the one .scid file?

.cxoffice\other\drive_c\SierraChart\Data\mtgoxUSD.scid ?

Where can I get more feeds ready for if Bitcoin charts or MtGox fails?

Had to change the command to:

Code:

./wine /home/jjj/Downloads/sierrachartfeed-0.5.exe -s mtgoxUSD -d ~/.cxoffice/other/drive_c/SierraChart/
Data/

giving:

Code:

Loading data file Y:\.cxoffice\other\drive_c\SierraChart\Data\mtgoxUSD.scid
Downloading historical data

It doesn't do any more than this and nothing more is available in Sierracharts itself.


Is there a more linux native solution?

Code:

Grism shows: /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/grism/grism_prefs.rb:87:in `config_dir': uninitialized constant GRISM::PLATFORM (NameError)

Only link on this I could find:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grism/

 qtstalker has a lot of deps, not sure if either work with bitcoin. Just looking for something basic for when bitcoincharts goes down

[slush]

Code:

./wine /home/jjj/Downloads/sierrachartfeed-0.5.exe -s mtgoxUSD -d ~/.cxoffice/other/drive_c/SierraChart/
Data/

To download all other markets, please use "-s mtgoxUSD,*"

Ah, yes, figured it out. By going for all data sources it was trying to download everything but giving no feedback that it was actually downloading correctly.

I'm on a very slow connection so the ~160mb took half a day
