Win4Lin Pro should run Windows XP (and his apps).  Win4Lin Pro is really
a packaged version of qemu.  So you can always try qemu to run windows
in a window as a stop-gap solution.  

Unfortunately I doubt you'll find any "linux-friendly" day-trading apps,
unless you can convince them to run under wine.
