MQL5 Programming Articles

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.

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.

The article replaces clock-based sampling with López de Prado's alternative bar types and provides two aligned implementations: a unified Python module for batch tick histories and an object‑oriented MQL5 library for live EAs. It covers Parquet/Dask infrastructure, data cleaning, and a single API. Practical issues are solved explicitly: zero‑tick time‑bar filtering, imbalance threshold initialization, EWM state persistence, and parity between Python and MQL5 outputs.

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.

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.

Today we will look at why we need the iSpread feature. At the same time, we will understand how the system informs us about the remaining time of the bar when there is not a single tick available for it. The content presented here is intended solely for educational purposes. Under no circumstances should the application be viewed for any purpose other than to learn and master the concepts presented.

Here we will consider the evolution of the ACS algorithm: three modifications aimed at improving the convergence characteristics and the algorithm efficiency. Transformation of one of the leading optimization algorithms. From matrix modifications to revolutionary approaches regarding population formation.

In the first part of this article, we will dive into the world of chemical reactions and discover a new approach to optimization! Chemical reaction optimization (CRO) uses principles derived from the laws of thermodynamics to achieve efficient results. We will reveal the secrets of decomposition, synthesis and other chemical processes that became the basis of this innovative method.

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 this article, we will discuss the first part of the topic, which is not so easy for beginners to understand. In order not to get even more confused and to explain this topic correctly, we will divide the explanation into stages. We will devote this article to the first stage. However, although at the end of the article it may seem that we have reached the deadlock, in fact we will take a step towards another situation, which will be better understood in the next article.

In this article we are creating a synthetic symbol using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) involves generating realistic Financial data that mimics the behavior of actual market instruments, such as EURUSD. The GAN model learns patterns and volatility from historical market data and creates synthetic price data with similar characteristics.

This article presents a custom MQL5 money management class that adapts position sizing to real-time volatility using a monotonic queue for O(N) sliding-window extremes. The class applies inverse volatility scaling and optionally validates risk with an RBF network. We show implementation details in the Optimize method and compare results with the inbuilt Size-Optimized class to assess latency and risk control benefits.

Unlike what was done in the previous article, here we will test the selection option using an Expert Advisor. Although this is not a final solution yet, it will be enough for now. With the help of this article, you will be able to understand how to implement one of the possible solutions.

Today we will continue to develop the order system. As you will see, we will be massively reusing what has already been shown in other articles. Nevertheless, you will receive a small reward in this article. First, we will develop a system that can be used with a real trading server, both from a demo account or from a real one. We will make extensive use of the MetaTrader 5 platform, which will provide us with all the necessary support from the beginning.

Here we will dive into the world of hybridization of optimization algorithms by looking at three key types: strategy mixing, sequential and parallel hybridization. We will conduct a series of experiments combining and testing relevant optimization algorithms.

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.

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.

A direct MQL5 port of the fractal detector writes each pattern at its center bar, so a buffer read by an expert advisor holds a value that only existed n bars later. We implement CFractalFeatures.mqh with ProcessBar for bar-by-bar use and Compute for full-series recalculation, covering detection, strength scored against a fixed or volatility-scaled floor, an event-based support/resistance ring, and trend-filtered breakout signals. Output is eighteen buffers published at the confirmation bar, verified against the Python reference to within 1e-13.

Today's article is a continuation of the previous one. We will look at the implementation of an Expert Advisor, focusing mainly on how the server code is executed. The code given in the previous article is not enough to make everything work as expected, so we need to dig a little deeper into it. Therefore, it is necessary to read both articles to better understand what will happen.

We follow up our last article, where we introduced the indicator pair of TRIX and Williams Percent Range, by considering how this indicator pairing could be extended with Machine Learning. TRIX and William’s Percent are a trend and support/ resistance complimentary pairing. Our machine learning approach uses a convolution neural network that engages the cosine kernel in its architecture when fine-tuning the forecasts of this indicator pairing. As always, this is done in a custom signal class file that works with the MQL5 wizard to assemble an Expert Advisor.

Support Vector Machines classify data based on predefined classes by exploring the effects of increasing its dimensionality. It is a supervised learning method that is fairly complex given its potential to deal with multi-dimensioned data. For this article we consider how it’s very basic implementation of 2-dimensioned data can be done more efficiently with Newton’s Polynomial when classifying price-action.

In this article, we discuss and demonstrate how to convert nominal predictors into numerical formats that are suitable for machine learning algorithms, using both Python and MQL5.

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 implementation of the part of the code that will run in MetaTrader 5 does not present any difficulty. However, there are several points that need to be taken into account. This is necessary so that you can make the system work. Remember one important thing: not just one program will be running. In reality, we will have to run three programs simultaneously. It is important to implement and structure each of them in such a way that they can interact and communicate with one another, and that each of them understands what the others are trying or intending to do.

We continue studying the chaotic optimization algorithm. The second part of the article deals with the practical aspects of the algorithm implementation, its testing and conclusions.
