Description
I professional trader in the currency market also have passed on Linux for the sake of reliability and stability, but to work to fall programs for Windows+wine because in Linux catastrophically there are no programs for the qualitative technical analysis and for internettrading in currency market Forex. The program analogue known MetaTrader4 from http: // www.metaquotes.net and then the army of traders will rush on Linux after NYSE is very necessary.

I think a stock trading isn't something that makes sense to add to ubuntu, especially not tied down to one or two exchanges. Its better a third party does it, especially seeing that there are so many exchanges.
And tying it to forex is just asking for trouble..
If it is likely to be so popular though, you should fund a bounty to get something coded, or pay for someone to code it, as I am sure it would be quite profitable for you to do so.
But its a terrible idea to include something like this with ubuntu, and the time is better spent coding apps everyone uses.

I doubt that stock traders will all rush to migrate to Linux when their program becomes available on this platform. They're already coping with Windows, which they've already got and are familiar with - what value would they see in switching to another platform which will, for their purposes, do exactly the same thing?
And what are you actually proposing Ubuntu does about this?

there are some projects on sourceforge, but not very active because only supported by restrain team.
I hope some devs looks at "itrade" or "qtstalker" and push roadmap on

Have your employer create one.
Or have your employer build the parts of Wine for it.
Why should Canonical do this for you? What's in it for the rest of us in the community?
