Developing a Replay System (Part 56): Adapting the Modules
Although the modules already interact with each other properly, an error occurs when trying to use the mouse pointer in the replay service. We need to fix this before moving on to the next step. Additionally, we will fix an issue in the mouse indicator code. So this version will be finally stable and properly polished.

MQL5 Wizard Techniques you should know (Part 29): Continuation on Learning Rates with MLPs
We wrap up our look at learning rate sensitivity to the performance of Expert Advisors by primarily examining the Adaptive Learning Rates. These learning rates aim to be customized for each parameter in a layer during the training process and so we assess potential benefits vs the expected performance toll.

Price-Driven CGI Model: Advanced Data Post-Processing and Implementation
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.

MQL5 Wizard Techniques you should know (Part 40): Parabolic SAR
The Parabolic Stop-and-Reversal (SAR) is an indicator for trend confirmation and trend termination points. Because it is a laggard in identifying trends its primary purpose has been in positioning trailing stop losses on open positions. We, however, explore if indeed it could be used as an Expert Advisor signal, thanks to custom signal classes of wizard assembled Expert Advisors.

Data Science and ML (Part 44): Forex OHLC Time series Forecasting using Vector Autoregression (VAR)
Explore how Vector Autoregression (VAR) models can forecast Forex OHLC (Open, High, Low, and Close) time series data. This article covers VAR implementation, model training, and real-time forecasting in MetaTrader 5, helping traders analyze interdependent currency movements and improve their trading strategies.

Developing a Replay System (Part 58): Returning to Work on the Service
After a break in development and improvement of the service used for replay/simulator, we are resuming work on it. Now that we've abandoned the use of resources like terminal globals, we'll have to completely restructure some parts of it. Don't worry, this process will be explained in detail so that everyone can follow the development of our service.
