MQL4 and MQL5 Programming Articles

This article presents a reusable CTable class for building chart-based tables in MQL5. It covers table architecture, creation and destruction of objects, coordinates and sizing, cell properties, horizontal/vertical headers, dynamic row/column edits, object naming, index conversion, and efficient refreshing. You will be able to assemble consistent, aligned on-chart dashboards for market data, indicators, and signals with minimal boilerplate.

In this article, we conclude our work on building the SAGDFN framework using MQL5, summarizing the development process and presenting the results of its practical testing. Let's combine the modules we've already implemented into a single system, highlight the strengths of this approach, point out its weaknesses, and discuss possible ways to improve it.

We build a drawdown analytics dashboard that derives the equity curve from deals and finds every episode's depth and recovery duration. Results appear on a CCanvas timeline spaced by point index with alternating bold annotations, and in a terminal table sorted by duration, allowing you to prioritize risk by time spent underwater rather than depth alone.

Sample correlation matrices can look precise yet be mostly noise. This article implements a dependency-free RMT cleaner in MQL5: Jacobi eigendecomposition, Marchenko–Pastur eigenvalue screening, and average-noise reconstruction that preserves the matrix trace and unit diagonal. It explains integration into a basket EA so the denoised matrix improves stability of hedge ratios and weights between rebalances, while keeping the code portable and auditable.
