Articles on the MQL5 programming and use of trading robots

Learn a practical way to execute MetaTrader 5 trades from Telegram voice notes using a Python middleware and an MQL5 EA acting as an HTTP client. The article covers architecture, WebRequest polling, in-memory queuing, JSON parsing with null-terminator stripping, and a constrained command grammar with a 0.001-lot default. You will configure the environment and validate round‑trip latency suitable for mobile data connections.

Breadth First Search (BFS) uses level-order traversal to model market structure as a directed graph of price swings evolving through time. By analyzing historical bars or sessions layer by layer, BFS prioritizes recent price behavior while still respecting deeper market memory.

We invite you to explore the original implementation of the K²VAE framework — a flexible model capable of linearly approximating complex dynamics in latent space. This article demonstrates how to implement key components in MQL5, including parameterized matrices and how to manage them outside standard neural network layers. This material will be useful for anyone looking for a practical approach to building interpretable time-series models.

In offline learning, we use a fixed dataset, which limits the coverage of environmental diversity. During the learning process, our Agent can generate actions beyond this dataset. If there is no feedback from the environment, how can we be sure that the assessments of such actions are correct? Maintaining the Agent's policy within the training dataset becomes an important aspect to ensure the reliability of training. This is what we will talk about in this article.

We invite you to explore the modern Time-MoE framework, which has been adapted for time series forecasting tasks. In this article, we will implement the key components of the architecture step by step, providing explanations and practical examples along the way. This approach will allow you not only to understand how the model works, but also to apply those principles to real-world trading scenarios.

We replace native MetaTrader chart objects with a canvas-based drawing engine that renders tools pixel-by-pixel on a full-chart bitmap layer. The article implements persistent object storage with per-tool style memory, precise hit testing, selection, whole-object dragging, and handle manipulation. It also adds new line tools, a reorganized category system with a one-click delete action, and a rubber-band preview for multi-click placement.

Build a restart-aware virtual protection layer on top of the SQLite persistence from Part 1. The EA reconstructs hidden stop-loss and take-profit after restart, verifies current price against recovered exits, and closes or continues positions accordingly. The result is a consistent recovery path that detects managed positions and sustains safe runtime management.

The article discusses the adaptation and practical implementation of the ACEFormer framework using MQL5 in the context of algorithmic trading. It presents key architectural decisions, training features, and model testing results on real data.

The article builds a reusable validation layer for Expert Advisors in MQL5. It implements lot-size rules and normalization, SL/TP and freeze-level guards, price digit normalization, margin sufficiency checks, unchanged-level filtering on modifications, account order-limit control, new-bar detection, symbol tradability checks, economic-calendar news windows, and session detectors. The result is cleaner code and fewer terminal errors in live trading.

We are pleased to present the final part of our series on GinAR — a neural network framework for time series forecasting. In this article, we analyze the results of testing the model on new data and assess its robustness under real-market conditions.

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.

In this article, we took a detailed look at the integration of the SSAM module into the SEW-ResNeXt block, demonstrating how the S3CE-Net framework enables the effective combination of spiking attention with residual blocks. This architecture ensures accurate processing of temporal and spatial data streams and high training stability. The modularity and flexibility of the components make it easier to extend the model and reuse proven methods.

We extend the canvas drawing layer from the previous part with seven new categories of multi-anchor analytical drawing tools, covering three channel variants, three pitchfork variants, three Gann tools, and the six Fibonacci tools. We work through how each tool encodes its geometry on the canvas, how derived handles let users reshape compound shapes coherently, and how shared helpers handle ray clipping, scanline filling, and anti-aliased arc rendering. By the end, we will have a full set of analytical drawing tools that live on the same interactive canvas alongside the basic line tools from the previous part.

This article implements a Fenwick Tree (Binary Indexed Tree) for volume-aware money management inside an MQL5 Wizard Expert Advisor. We structure cumulative volume in O(log n) and apply four scaling modes—linear, conservative, aggressive, and mean-reversion—optionally gated by a lightweight 1D CNN. Practical tests compare the algorithm alone versus the CNN‑filtered approach to illustrate adaptive lot sizing and risk control under varying volume topologies.

In this article, we will explore the development of a fully customizable Price Data export script using MQL5, marking new advancements in the simulation of the Price Man CGI Model. We have implemented advanced refinement techniques to ensure that the data is user-friendly and optimized for animation purposes. Additionally, we will uncover the capabilities of Blender 3D in effectively working with and visualizing price data, demonstrating its potential for creating dynamic and engaging animations.

We describe an MQL5 framework that aligns entries with session rhythms and scheduled clock events. A script identifies the broker's time zone and DST by detecting NFP spikes on EURUSD and matching them to EU/US/AU transition dates, producing EA‑ready settings. Session-to-broker time conversion and 15-minute marks constrain execution. A multi‑timeframe AMA signal aggregates trends for strategy selection and optimization.

We invite you to learn about the innovative technique of adaptive patching — a method for flexibly segmenting time series while taking their internal periodicity into account. We will also look at an efficient encoding technique that preserves important semantic characteristics when working with data at different scales. These methods open up new possibilities for the accurate processing of complex, multiscale data characteristic of financial markets and significantly improve the stability and reliability of forecasts.

We invite you to learn about the K²VAE framework and how the proposed approaches can be integrated into a trading system. You will learn how the hybrid Koopman–Kalman–VAE approach helps build adaptive and interpretable models. The article concludes with practical results from using the implemented solutions.

We continue developing the Connexus library. In this chapter, we explore the concept of headers in the HTTP protocol, explaining what they are, what they are for, and how to use them in requests. We cover the main headers used in communications with APIs, and show practical examples of how to configure them in the library.

In this article, we show how to send authenticated requests to the Binance API using MQL5 to retrieve your account balance for all assets. Learn how to use your API key, server time, and signature to securely access account data, and how to save the response to a file for future use.

Neural networks are already changing the way we analyze markets, and new architectures are opening up even more possibilities. In this article, we wrap up our work with the SpikingBrain framework, which opens up new possibilities for us.

In this article we present yet another custom MQL5 Signal Class that we are labelling ‘CSignalBTreeBayesian’. We are marrying the algorithm of a balanced tree with a neural network that is built on Bayesian principles to formulate yet another custom signal testable independently or with other signals thanks to the MQL5 Wizard.

Although the functions we will discuss have been known for quite some time, their application in the field of trading remains terra incognita to this day. In this article, we will explore some of the opportunities these old-but-new functions offer for developing trading strategies and assess their potential.

This article presents a complete MQL5 Expert Advisor that implements Jesse Livermore's market key as a deterministic state machine. It detects pivotal levels from consolidations using ATR and volume expansion, scales in across four tranches, and exits on abnormal behavior defined by range and volume. The EA validates inputs in OnInit, requires a hedging account, and compiles out of the box for testing Livermore's rules on daily data.

This article implements the Darvas Box method as a complete MQL5 Expert Advisor. We code box detection with a three-session hold, volume contraction during consolidation, and volume-confirmed breakouts, plus a staircase pyramid with a shared, rolling stop at the latest box floor. The EA uses a state machine to run box scanning and trade management in parallel, providing a ready-to-compile system with configurable inputs and clear on-chart diagnostics.

We are continuing our work on implementing the approaches proposed by the authors of the Extralonger framework. This time, we will focus on building a Global-Local Spatial Attention module using MQL5, examining both its structure and its practical integration into the overall computational process.
