I’m looking for an open source alternative to MetaTrader (http://www.metaquotes.net/metatrader/) that can run on the Linux platform.

It appears that the API is open source.

I’m not familiar with the program and can’t seem to find an alternative with just a quick search.
Have you tried running it in WINE?

One of the posts there mentions crossover, which is basically the commercial version of WINE that includes proprietary code. But it appears that you should be able to run this with just the open source WINE.
