Articles with MQL5 programming examples

In this article, we'll explore one last simple use case for templates, and discuss the benefits and necessity of using typename in your code. Although this article may seem a bit complicated at first, it is important to understand it properly in order to use templates and typename later.

Creating a profitable and stable trading system is always related to statistical data processing. In this article, we pout together statistical reports of the Automated Trading Championships 2006-2007. It may well be that the information they provide will help you find new trading ideas or correct the existing ones. Analyze the data and save your time.

This series of articles introduces several time series labeling methods, which can create data that meets most artificial intelligence models, and targeted data labeling according to needs can make the trained artificial intelligence model more in line with the expected design, improve the accuracy of our model, and even help the model make a qualitative leap!

The article considers grouping WinForms objects and creation of the CheckBox objects list object.

The article is dedicated to the event-driven architecture in MQL5 and describes the transition from the monolithic OnTick model to distributed processing. We will consider predefined and custom events, services and messaging between programs, as well as common architectural errors. A practical example demonstrates how to organize interactions between indicators and an EA to reduce load, improve readability, and simplify maintenance.

In the article, we will add the functionality of resizing controls by dragging edges and corners of the element with the mouse.

This article explores how determining the optimal number of strategies in an ensemble can be a complex task that is easier to solve through the use of the MetaTrader 5 genetic optimizer. The MQL5 Cloud is also employed as a key resource for accelerating backtesting and optimization. All in all, our discussion here sets the stage for developing statistical models to evaluate and improve trading strategies based on our initial ensemble results.

The Trading Administrator's role goes beyond just Telegram communications; they can also engage in various control activities, including order management, position tracking, and interface customization. In this article, we’ll share practical insights on expanding our program to support multiple functionalities in MQL5. This update aims to overcome the current Admin Panel's limitation of focusing primarily on communication, enabling it to handle a broader range of tasks.

In this part, we will integrate a real-time correlation matrix into a multi-symbol Expert Advisor to prevent redundant or risk-stacked trades. By dynamically measuring cross-pair relationships, the EA will filter entries that conflict with existing exposure, improving portfolio balance, reducing systemic risk, and enhancing overall trade quality.

In this article, we will examine how to reduce risk (and whether it is even possible to do so) in option strategies where risk is initially unlimited. This applies to strategies based on writing options, i.e., range-bound strategies. We will also consider ways to lock in profits for option strategies based on purchasing options, i.e., trend-following strategies. As always, we will add new useful features to our Expert Advisor (EA) and improve the existing ones.

The article describes the practical application of DirectX 11 and built-in MQL5 tools for creating 3D visualizations and interactive interfaces in MetaTrader 5. The focus is on cognitive efficiency - the ability of 3D charts and guided scenes to help in understanding optimization data, liquidity clusters, and multi-dimensional trading scenarios. The basics of the DX pipeline, working with shaders, binding mouse and keyboard events, and objective technological limitations are discussed in detail. The article is intended for MQL5 developers and algorithmic traders who are ready to transform strategy metrics into understandable 3D analytical landscapes, where the visual layer accelerates decision-making.

This discussion delves into the challenges encountered when working with large codebases. We will explore the best practices for code organization in MQL5 and implement a practical approach to enhance the readability and scalability of our Trading Administrator Panel source code. Additionally, we aim to develop reusable code components that can potentially benefit other developers in their algorithm development. Read on and join the conversation.
