Defining your Edge (Part 5): Using GARCH Variance and Volatility-Scaled LSTM in an Expert Advisor
We merge GARCH(1,1) variance projections with ATR plus Bollinger-Bands patterns to form an algorithm that could optionally be used with volatility-scaled LSTM within LSTM Wizard-ready signal class. We cover feature scaling, mode scoring, thresholds, and safety checks. Readers can replicate backtest/forward test results to verify if the recurrent layer gives incremental discrimination over our deterministic baseline.
Native Isolation Forest for Execution-Quality Anomaly Detection in MQL5
A step-by-step guide to a native Isolation Forest in MQL5 focused on execution metrics rather than price. It details five features, tree construction and path‑length scoring, rolling‑window training, CSV logging, and FILE_COMMON persistence, all integrated into OnTradeTransaction(). The resulting circuit breaker flags unusual fills in real time and applies controlled responses to stabilize live trading under changing execution conditions.
Beetle Swarm Optimization (BSO)
We consider a BAS+PSO (BSO) hybrid, where BAS provides a local direction signal and PSO facilitates the exchange of best solutions within the swarm. The article presents a mathematical model, pseudocode, an implementation of the class in MQL5, and test results from a standard test bench. This material allows reproducing the algorithm, configuring its parameters, and understanding how three objective-function evaluations per iteration affect efficiency.
Neural Networks in Trading: Heterogeneity-Informed Meta-Parameter Learning (HimNet)
We invite you to explore the HimNet framework, which combines the flexibility of spatio-temporal adaptation with high computational efficiency, enabling accurate and stable forecasts for financial time series. The article explains in detail how its key components interact with one another, transforming complex algorithms into a manageable architecture.
