According to wine hq this program has garbage rating on 15.04 and a bronze on 14.04, the last working version was on 12.04, it seems you can not install this on wine as of now, compatibility has dropped over the last few releases. appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2893

There's very little possibility that a random folk who would see the question tried in wine a specific program you're asking for. If you want an answer, write the details: what exactly gone wrong, why doesn't it installing, are there any errors when running from terminal?

@Michael run the app from terminal, like wine metatrader.exe, and tell if you see any errors. Also, please, mention nickname with @ so that the one whom you're writing to would be notified.

I just successfully installed MetaTrader 4 on Ubuntu 16.04, using the command provided by Michael. Thanks, Michael! I've been struggling for a while.

Just want to add one more comment, rm ~/.wine folder after using his command, this will clean all the mess of previous installations. (maybe difficult if you have already installed some applications on wine). And then run the installation executable downloaded from MT4 official site. That works for me.

Should be installed wine32 if you use x64, and winetricks.

winetricks parameter "--isolate mt4". But you should install the mt4.exe file of your own broker. Then it will work :)
