Articles with examples of trading robots developed in MQL5

This article develops a class for managing partial position closing in MQL5 and then integrates it into an Order Blocks Expert Advisor. It also presents test results comparing the strategy with and without partial position closing, and analyzes the conditions under which this approach can help provide and maximize profit. In conclusion, partial position closing can be highly beneficial in trading strategies, especially those focused on wider price movements.

Today, we are harnessing the capabilities of MQL5 to utilize external resources—such as images in the BMP format—to create a uniquely styled home interface for the Trading Administrator Panel. The strategy demonstrated here is particularly useful when packaging multiple resources, including images, sounds, and more, for streamlined distribution. Join us in this discussion as we explore how these features are implemented to deliver a modern and visually appealing interface for our New_Admin_Panel EA.

Automated trading systems often focus heavily on signal generation while neglecting the mechanisms required to protect capital during periods of stress. This article presents an Equity Governance Framework in MQL5 that monitors drawdown conditions, evaluates equity pressure, and dynamically controls trading activity through a state-driven risk management model. By combining drawdown analysis, cooldown logic, trade authorization, and execution restrictions, the framework demonstrates how trading discipline can be engineered directly into code using a modular and extensible architecture.

Most modern multimodal time series forecasting methods use the independent channels approach. This ignores the natural dependence of different channels of the same time series. Smart use of two approaches (independent and mixed channels) is the key to improving the performance of the models.

Direct point cloud analysis avoids unnecessary data growth and improves the performance of models in classification and segmentation tasks. Such approaches demonstrate high performance and robustness to perturbations in the original data.

Effective identification and preservation of the local structure of market data in noisy conditions is a critical task in trading. The use of the Self-Attention mechanism has shown promising results in processing such data; however, the classical approach does not account for the local characteristics of the underlying structure. In this article, I introduce an algorithm capable of incorporating these structural dependencies.

In this series of articles, we analyze classical trading strategies using modern algorithms to determine whether we can improve the strategy using AI. In today's article, we revisit a classical approach for trading the SP500 using the relationship it has with US Treasury Notes.

We add supersampling‑driven anti‑aliasing and high‑resolution rendering to the MQL5 canvas dashboard, then downsample to the target size. The article implements rounded rectangle fills and borders, rounded triangle arrows, and a custom scrollbar with theming for the stats and text panels. These tools help you build smoother, more legible UI components in MetaTrader 5.

We continue to build the Hidformer hierarchical dual-tower transformer model designed for analyzing and forecasting complex multivariate time series. In this article, we will bring the work we started earlier to its logical conclusion — we will test the model on real historical data.

A hybrid exit engine for MQL5 replaces static TPs with CRT-derived structural levels. The CRT_ProfitConserve class secures a partial at the first level and then trails the remaining position by structural anchors rather than fixed pips. The article walks through the class API, essential methods, and example usage in EAs, providing a clear path to embed CRT-based exits into existing strategies.

In the previous article, we got acquainted with the Decision Transformer. But the complex stochastic environment of the foreign exchange market did not allow us to fully implement the potential of the presented method. In this article, I will introduce an algorithm that is aimed at improving the performance of algorithms in stochastic environments.

RSI accumulates losses in trending conditions by firing at every threshold crossing regardless of market regime. A Random Forest secondary classifier trained on 12 contextual features — RSI momentum slope, EMA50 trend velocity, ATR-normalised trend stretch, and nine others — filters raw signals and scales position size by classifier confidence on EURUSD H1. Results compare plain RSI, meta-filtered RSI, and bet-sized RSI across a 16-month out-of-sample period with per-trade metrics and drawdown diagnostics.

In this article, we will talk about algorithms for using attention methods in solving problems of detecting objects in a point cloud. Object detection in point clouds is important for many real-world applications.

We build a tCISD program in MQL5 that pairs Quarterly Theory cycles anchored to New York time with a correlated-symbol SSMT divergence to time reversals. The article shows how to map cycles and quarters, detect the cross-symbol sweep disagreement, and derive the tCISD level whose break confirms the change in delivery. You will get a working entry logic that arms on divergence and executes on a confirmation close or a retest.

By studying the FEDformer method, we opened the door to the frequency domain of time series representation. In this new article, we will continue the topic we started. We will consider a method with which we can not only conduct an analysis, but also predict subsequent states in a particular area.

In this article, we introduce the Mamba4Cast framework and take a closer look at one of its key components: timestamp-based positional encoding. The article shows shows how time embedding is formed taking into account the calendar structure of the data.

The article discusses the practical implementation of the HiSSD framework in algorithmic trading tasks. It explains how the skill hierarchy and adaptive architecture can be used to build sustainable trading strategies.

While analyzing the market situation, we divide it into separate segments, identifying key trends. However, traditional analysis methods often focus on one aspect and thus limit the proper perception. In this article, we will learn about a method that enables the selection of multiple objects to ensure a more comprehensive and multi-layered understanding of the situation.

In this article, we will discuss another type of models that are aimed at studying the dynamics of the environmental state.

We continue exploring a multi-task learning framework based on ResNeXt, which is characterized by modularity, high computational efficiency, and the ability to identify stable patterns in data. Using a single encoder and specialized "heads" reduces the risk of model overfitting and improves the quality of forecasts.

In this discussion, we follow up on the previously developed multi-signal Expert Advisor with the objective of exploring and applying available optimization methods. The aim is to determine whether the trading performance of the EA can be meaningfully improved through systematic optimization based on historical data.

In this article, we explore vector-based methods for drawing rounded rectangles and triangles in MQL5 using canvas, with supersampling for anti-aliased rendering. We implement scanline filling, geometric precomputations for arcs and tangents, and border drawing to create smooth, customizable shapes. This approach lays the groundwork for modern UI elements in future trading tools, supporting inputs for sizes, radii, borders, and opacities.

An empirical study of Larry Williams’ Trade Day of the Week concept, showing how time-based market bias can be measured, tested, and applied using MQL5. This article presents a practical framework for analyzing win rates and performance across trading days to improve short-term trading systems.

Build a local, bidirectional voice interface for MetaTrader 5 using MQL5 WebRequest and two Python services. The article implements offline speech recognition with Vosk, wake‑word detection, an HTTP command endpoint, and a text‑to‑speech server on localhost. You will wire an Expert Advisor that fetches commands, executes trades, and returns spoken confirmations for hands‑free operation.

The article implements a self-sufficient Adaptive SuperTrend EA with internal calculations on a selectable timeframe, avoiding external buffers and indicator files. It includes risk-based lot sizing, ATR stops, stepwise RR trailing, optional anti-repainting confirmation, and session control. Practitioners can reuse the structure for consistent new‑bar signal handling and broker‑compliant order validation.

We invite you to explore the innovative SCNN framework, which takes time series analysis to a new level by clearly separating data into long-term, seasonal, short-term, and residual components. This approach significantly improves forecasting accuracy by allowing the model to adapt to complex and changing market dynamics.

We build a session-based reversal program in MQL5 using the Bread and Butter Judas Swing model. It derives a higher-timeframe daily bias, defines New York kill zones, maps each session's premium and discount from the live range, and requires a sweep before a market structure shift confirms entry. Readers get a ready approach to arm setups only during active sessions and execute in the bias direction with clear, testable rules.

Let's discuss how we can make our Expert Advisors speech‑capable using text‑to‑speech technology, partnering Python and MQL5. After reading this article, you will walk away with a working example of an EA that speaks dynamic market information. You will master the application of TTS, the WebRequest function, and learn how Python libraries integrate with the MQL5 language to create a truly voice‑aware trading tool.

Learn to assemble an MT5 Expert Advisor that hosts a chart management dashboard written in MQL5. The guide walks through shared definitions, symbol acquisition and filtering, chart lifecycle functions, and a UI panel with search, scrolling, and state indicators, all driven by events and a timer. The result is a reproducible tool that reduces clicks and accelerates multi-symbol analysis.

We bridge Python-native artifacts to MQL5 for tick-accurate CPCV backtesting. The export script converts the ONNX model, calibrator, feature spec, and path masks to flat files, while the expert advisor rebuilds features, performs ONNX inference with calibration, and trades on real ticks. The Strategy Tester runs each combinatorial path, and Python aggregates per-path equities into a path Sharpe distribution to assess robustness after spread, slippage, and commission.

This article presents a comprehensive guide to implementing a sophisticated trading system using Causality Network Analysis (CNA) and Vector Autoregression (VAR) in MQL5. It covers the theoretical background of these methods, provides detailed explanations of key functions in the trading algorithm, and includes example code for implementation.

The article implements CMultiTimeframeMatrix, a reusable dashboard that maps symbols vs. timeframes and displays a numeric, colour‑coded score. The score combines trend, momentum, and volatility, updates by timer, and respects performance constraints. You will learn how to build the UI with CAppDialog/CLabel, compute metrics via CMatrixDouble, and embed the component into a thin EA for a consistent, real-time overview.
