The following procedure was realized with GNU/Linux Debian unstable.
### 2.1 Requirements-
Wine development release - Run Windows applications on Linux
With debian it's easier to use wine-unstable
-
Metatrader 4 - Forex Trading Platform
If your broker distributes a specific version, you might want to use it.
I don't know if the tools will work under Metatrader 5, please leave me a message if you tried it.

Phenny - Python IRC bot
Ømq is a socket library that we will use to exchange messages between MT4 and fxchat.
sudo apt-get install libzmq-dev
It's python bindings.
sudo easy_install pyzmq
This is a Ømq library for MT4.
Auto installation.
Get commando.zip here http://codebase.mql4.com/7147
Run commando.exe
You can also compile it but at the moment I'm writing the code isn't up to date.
Get zmq.zip here http://codebase.mql4.com/7147
Follow the instructions
Install the fxchat script for MT4.
# Configure the path to your metatrader directory
MT4="~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/OANDA - MetaTrader/"
cp Fxchat.mq4 $MT4/experts/scripts/
In the metaeditor, open the fxchat script, compile it, then drag it over a chart to activate it.
### 2.4 PhennyInstall the fxchat script for phenny.
# Configure the path to your phenny directory
BOT="~/cortex/phenny/"
cp fxchat.py $BOT/modules/
Say .help in a channel where the bot is hanging.
4. Advanced configuration -------------------------In construction.
