Articles on the MQL5 programming and use of trading robots

Session filters can run an hour off when a broker and a market change their clocks on different dates. This article presents an MQL5 include file, SessionClock.mqh, that converts London, New York, and Tokyo sessions to broker hours for a stated daylight saving time (DST) schedule (EU, US, or fixed) and winter offset. A second script estimates the schedule from server history. It uses calendar arithmetic, so it also works in the Strategy Tester.

Introducing the RAFT framework — a powerful tool for analyzing and forecasting financial time series. Its flexible and optimized architecture ensures accurate forecasts, stable performance, and faster data processing. RAFT reduces the risk of errors and makes it easier to create effective trading strategies.

The article develops a volume-change strategy that transforms tick or real volume with Ln(volume+1), differences it bar to bar, and applies arctan to produce a bounded, scale‑independent signal. A threshold drives entries, with selectable gates for positive, negative, or bi‑directional signals and candle‑based confirmation. An MQL5 Expert Advisor implements the logic and supports fixed TP/SL, N‑candle exits, or both, enabling straightforward testing and deployment.

The TMA framework offers a new perspective on market dynamics, enabling models to capture not only the state of the market but also the passage of time itself. Its ability to identify patterns in a continuous stream of data makes the analysis more in-depth and accurate than with traditional approaches. Recurrent adaptation turns this method into a practical tool for working with real-world quotes.

In this article, theory meets practice. We implement the key modules of the TMA framework — MPE and MPA. Here, data takes on meaning, and cross-attention becomes a tool for precise analysis of market dynamics. Minimal unnecessary operations, maximum efficiency — a step toward next-generation intelligent trading.
