Articles with examples of trading robots developed in MQL5

In the previous article, we started considering methods aimed at improving neural network training quality. In this article, we will continue this topic and will consider another approach — batch data normalization.

Today I want to introduce you to a slightly different learning method. We can say that it is borrowed from Darwin's theory of evolution. It is probably less controllable than the previously discussed methods but it allows training non-differentiable models.

The multi-currency expert advisor in this article is an expert advisor or trading robot that uses two RSI indicators with crossing lines, the Fast RSI which crosses with the Slow RSI.

The article provides an example of using a perceptron as a self-sufficient price prediction tool by showcasing general concepts and the simplest ready-made Expert Advisor followed by the results of its optimization.

Step by step guide for auto optimization in MQL5 for Expert Advisors. We will cover robust optimization logic, best practices for parameter selection, and how to reconstruct strategies with back-testing. Additionally, higher-level methods like walk-forward optimization will be discussed to enhance your trading approach.

Discovering a new world of automated trading on 3D bars. What does a trading robot look like on multidimensional price bars? Are "yellow" clusters of 3D bars able to predict trend reversals? What does multidimensional trading look like?

In this article, we implement trade execution and risk management for the Envelopes Trend Bounce Scalping Strategy in MQL5. We implement order placement and risk controls like stop-loss and position sizing. We conclude with backtesting and optimization, building on Part 18’s foundation.

In this article, we develop a Zone Recovery System integrated with an Envelopes trend-trading strategy in MQL5. We outline the architecture for using RSI and Envelopes indicators to trigger trades and manage recovery zones to mitigate losses. Through implementation and backtesting, we show how to build an effective automated trading system for dynamic markets

The Fourier transform introduced by Joseph Fourier is a means of deconstructing complex data wave points into simple constituent waves. This feature could be resourceful to traders and this article takes a look at that.

It has been more than a year since I published my last article. This is quite a lot time to revise ideas and to develop new approaches. In the new article, I would like to divert from the previously used supervised learning method. This time we will dip into unsupervised learning algorithms. In particular, we will consider one of the clustering algorithms—k-means.

In the reinforcement learning models we discussed in previous article, we used various variants of convolutional networks that are able to identify various objects in the original data. The main advantage of convolutional networks is the ability to identify objects regardless of their location. At the same time, convolutional networks do not always perform well when there are various deformations of objects and noise. These are the issues which the relational model can solve.

In this article, we develop a Rapid-Fire Trading Expert Advisor in MQL5, leveraging the Parabolic SAR and Simple Moving Average (SMA) indicators to create a responsive trading strategy. We detail the strategy’s implementation, including indicator usage, signal generation, and the testing and optimization process.

Today we will create Times & Trade with fast interpretation to read the order flow. It is the first part in which we will build the system. In the next article, we will complete the system with the missing information. To implement this new functionality, we will need to add several new things to the code of our Expert Advisor.

In this article, we create an Expert Advisor (EA) in MQL5 based on the PIRANHA strategy, utilizing Bollinger Bands to enhance trading effectiveness. We discuss the key principles of the strategy, the coding implementation, and methods for testing and optimization. This knowledge will enable you to deploy the EA in your trading scenarios effectively

In this article I will show the first part of the improvements that allowed me not only to close the entire automation chain for MetaTrader 4 and 5 trading, but also to do something much more interesting. From now on, this solution allows me to fully automate both creating EAs and optimization, as well as to minimize labor costs for finding effective trading configurations.

In this article, we build a multi-timeframe scanner dashboard in MQL5 to display real-time trading signals. We plan an interactive grid interface, implement signal calculations with multiple indicators, and add a close button. The article concludes with backtesting and strategic trading benefits

In this article, we enhance the AI-powered trading system's modularity by separating UI components into a dedicated include file. The system now automates trade execution based on AI-generated signals, parsing JSON responses for BUY/SELL/NONE with entry/SL/TP, visualizing patterns like engulfing or divergences on charts with arrows, lines, and labels, and optional auto-signal checks on new bars.

The Multi-Currency Expert Advisor in this article is an Expert Advisor or Trading Robot that can trade (open orders, close orders and manage orders for example: Trailing Stop Loss and Trailing Profit) for more than one symbol pair from only one symbol chart. In this article we will use signals from two indicators, in this case Bollinger Bands® on Keltner Channel.

In this reference article, we will look at standard indicators from the Trend Indicators category. We will create ready-to-use templates for indicator use in EAs - declaring and setting parameters, indicator initialization and deinitialization, as well as receiving data and signals from indicator buffers in EAs.

Developing the theme of the previous article, I decided to create a more flexible and functional template that has greater capabilities and can be effectively used both in freelancing and as a base for developing multi-currency and multi-period EAs with the ability to integrate with external solutions.

Learn about programming paradigms and their application in MQL5 code. This article explores the specifics of procedural programming, offering hands-on experience through a practical example. You'll learn how to develop a price action expert advisor using the EMA indicator and candlestick price data. Additionally, the article introduces you to the functional programming paradigm.

Accurate calculation of key trading values is an indispensable part of every trader’s workflow. In this article, we will discuss, the integration of a powerful utility—the Forex Calculator—into the Trade Management Panel, further extending the functionality of our multi-panel Trading Administrator system. Efficiently determining risk, position size, and potential profit is essential when placing trades, and this new feature is designed to make that process faster and more intuitive within the panel. Join us as we explore the practical application of MQL5 in building advanced, trading panels.

In this article, I will make an attempt to consider some ways of building non-linear indicators and their use in trading. There are quite a few indicators in the MetaTrader trading platform that use non-linear approaches.
