It is ideal for traders looking to go beyond traditional technical analysis.

Aligned with our vision of simplifying price action, we are pleased to introduce another tool that can significantly enhance your market analysis and help you make well-informed decisions. This tool displays key technical indicators such as previous day's prices, significant support and resistance levels, and trading volume, while automatically generating visual cues on the chart.

This article introduces the ParaFrac Oscillator and its V2 model as trading tools. It outlines three trading strategies developed using these indicators. Each strategy was tested and optimized to identify their strengths and weaknesses. Comparative analysis highlighted the performance differences between the original and V2 models.

We continue to explore reinforcement learning methods. In this article, I will focus on a slightly different algorithm that considers the Agent’s policy in the paradigm of constructing a sequence of actions.

In an attempt to obtain the most accurate forecasts, researchers often complicate forecasting models. Which in turn leads to increased model training and maintenance costs. Is such an increase always justified? This article introduces an algorithm that uses the simplicity and speed of linear models and demonstrates results on par with the best models with a more complex architecture.

Let's continue developing a multi-currency EA with several strategies working in parallel. Let's try to move all the work associated with opening market positions from the strategy level to the level of the EA managing the strategies. The strategies themselves will trade only virtually, without opening market positions.

Discover how to effortlessly import and utilize the History Manager EX5 library in your MQL5 source code to process trade histories in your MetaTrader 5 account in this series' final article. With simple one-line function calls in MQL5, you can efficiently manage and analyze your trading data. Additionally, you will learn how to create different trade history analytics scripts and develop a price-based Expert Advisor as practical use-case examples. The example EA leverages price data and the History Manager EX5 library to make informed trading decisions, adjust trade volumes, and implement recovery strategies based on previously closed trades.

We continue to discuss algorithms for training trajectory prediction models. In this article, we will get acquainted with a method called "AutoBots".

The article presents a complete implementation of TimeGPT, a specialized Transformer-based architecture for forecasting financial time series on the MetaTrader 5 platform. Adaptation of the attention mechanism to financial data, selective tokenization of price changes, hardware-aware optimizations, and advanced learning techniques are discussed. Included are practical testing results showing 87% forecast accuracy over a 24-bar horizon with a training time of 15 minutes on the CPU. We also present a ready-made trading EA with automatic retraining.
