Articles with MQL5 programming examples

A step-by-step guide to building an anchored VWAP indicator with an interactive draggable anchor line in MQL5. The article covers the complete implementation, including calculation methodology, session resets, standard deviation bands, and custom visualization. Learn the architectural design decisions behind stateless boundary detection, multi-instance support, and cross-asset volume handling to build a versatile indicator with benchmarking, technical, and analytical capabilities.

The article provides a practical research setup for weekend gap analysis: MQL5 extracts precise pip‑based gaps and tracks fills, while Python performs statistical testing and visualization. You will compute fill rates by gap buckets, model fill probability with logistic regression, and assess time-to-fill via Kaplan–Meier curves. All steps are configurable and reproducible for EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and beyond.

We extend the supply and demand framework with a strategy layer that converts zone interactions into decisions. Qualified zones pass sequential checks for interaction proximity, approach behavior, higher‑timeframe alignment, and price action before execution is handed to a dedicated trade manager. This architecture improves control, maintainability, and future extensibility without changing the underlying zone engine.

The article bridges automated placement with manual analysis for the Fibonacci family in MQL5. It scans charts, identifies user Fibonacci objects, and normalizes their level arrays, interaction flags, and visuals per object type while preserving coordinates. With manual-priority enforcement, Expert Advisors can evaluate both human and code-generated tools reliably, without duplicates or runtime indexing issues.

This article performs a numerical verification of MQL5 eigendecomposition for a covariance matrix using the spectral theorem A = V Λ Vᵀ. It reconstructs the matrix with Diag(), Transpose(), and MatMul(), computes the residual and its Frobenius norm, and shows that deviations remain at floating‑point precision, with results printed to the Experts journal.
