Andean Condor Algorithm (ACA)

Andean Condor Algorithm (ACA)

The article implements the Andean Condor Algorithm (ACA) for MQL5 — a compact optimizer with a multiscale intensification operator. A significant improvement in solution quality was observed with a small population: a single adjustment to the settings propels it into the top 45 — and behind this lies a distinctive feature of the algorithm worth knowing about. This resource provides ready-to-use code and practical guidelines for its application.

Entropy Pooling and Scenario Budgets for Expected-Shortfall Sizing

Entropy Pooling and Scenario Budgets for Expected-Shortfall Sizing

Rolling lookback windows implicitly fix a probability vector over past bars. We implement entropy pooling in MQL5 to keep all historical scenarios, reweight them by conditioning on today's volatility under an effective‑scenarios budget, and add views on volatility, tails and correlation. A walk‑forward test, a chart indicator and an ES‑based sizing EA demonstrate how to calibrate risk forecasts and position size to the current regime.

MetaTrader 5 Machine Learning Blueprint (Part 24): Sequence Risk

MetaTrader 5 Machine Learning Blueprint (Part 24): Sequence Risk

Realized backtests reflect a single ordering of trades, so their maximum drawdown and prop‑firm breach risk are often understated. We resequence trade returns via a stationary bootstrap with a derived block length to estimate the drawdown distribution and a sequence risk ratio, compute path‑dependent breach probabilities for drawdown and daily‑loss limits, and replace WFE with a paired IS–OOS degradation statistic. The tools are demonstrated on a real EURUSD RSI strategy to guide sizing and risk limits.

Low-Frequency Quantitative Strategies in MetaTrader 5 (Part 6): A Constant-Dollar Exposure FX Trading System Based on Fixed-Income Interest Rate Yield Differentials

We describe ANANTA, a rules-based FX portfolio model that measures deviations in Interest Rate Swap differentials via moving averages and rebalances constant-dollar exposure across G10 currencies. Designed for intraday operation, it complements or substitutes carry logic without relying on trade volume. Performance is examined from January 2020 to October 2026 for five of the most liquid currencies. Code and free data pipelines are included.

Neural Networks in Trading: Recurrent Modeling of Market Micromovements (EV-MGRFlowNet)

The article discusses the adaptation of the EV-MGRFlowNet architecture — originally developed for processing event-based video data — to the field of financial time series. The approach presented here offers a new perspective on the market as a stream of micro-movements, where price, volume, and liquidity form a dynamic structure that lends itself to recurrent analysis without explicit supervision.

Building a Two-Pole Momentum Oscillator in MQL5

Building a Two-Pole Momentum Oscillator in MQL5

We build a Two‑Pole Momentum Oscillator in MQL5 that measures deviation from a 25‑period SMA, normalizes it by its mean and standard deviation, and smooths the result with two EMA‑style passes. The code defines inputs, buffers, warm‑up and recalculation logic, signal rules, and colorized plots, and derives dynamic targets from the 100‑period average range. It helps detect momentum shifts around the zero line and display price levels tied to recent volatility.

Weibull Reliability Analysis for Strategy Lifespan: Estimating When an EA Is Likely to "Fail"

Weibull Reliability Analysis for Strategy Lifespan: Estimating When an EA Is Likely to "Fail"

We implement a native Weibull maximum-likelihood fit in MQL5 and use it to model strategy wear-out from trade history. Failures are defined as the rolling profit factor dropping below a floor, producing lifetimes in trades. The article wires a survival-based governor into an EA and a companion indicator, so you can estimate conditional survival over the next N trades and apply explicit retirement thresholds with cooldown.

Building a FIFO-Compliant Position Management Layer for NFA-Regulated MQL5 Accounts

This article shows how to make EA close operations comply with broker-enforced FIFO (ACCOUNT FIFO CLOSE) on hedging accounts, so naive exits stop failing. It introduces CFifoPositionQueue to order an EA's own tickets by time and CFifoComplianceGuard to execute closes in two modes: strict reject or auto-cascade, with optional per-direction scope. The guard re-verifies eligibility before each step, normalizes volumes, and inspects real server retcodes. You get reusable code, tests, and clear limits.

Uncertainty as a Model (Part 6): Multiple Regression and Diagnostics

Uncertainty as a Model (Part 6): Multiple Regression and Diagnostics

A practical introduction to multiple regression with deterministic factors for financial time series. Topics covered include the formulation and matrix form of ordinary least squares (OLS), residual diagnostics, EDA/CDA, R-squared and adjusted R-squared, the F-test, RESET, the Breusch–Pagan test, VIF, and Cook’s distance. Techniques for working with regressors are demonstrated: dummy variables, nonlinear transformations, and interaction terms. Examples involving trends, days of the week, and news help select factors and build models suitable for forecasting.
