Articles on trading system automation in MQL5

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.

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.

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.

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

While some concepts may seem straightforward at first glance, bringing them to life in practice can be quite challenging. In the article below, we'll take you on a journey through our innovative approach to automating an Expert Advisor (EA) that skillfully analyzes the market using a mean reversion strategy. Join us as we unravel the intricacies of this exciting automation process.

The SMC (Order Block) are key areas where institutional traders initiate significant buying or selling. After a significant price move, fibonacci helps to identify potential retracement from a recent swing high to a swing low to identify optimal trade entry.

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.

In this article, we introduce a trade layering strategy that combines MACD and RSI indicators with statistical methods to automate dynamic trading in MQL5. We explore the architecture of this cascading approach, detail its implementation through key code segments, and guide readers on backtesting to optimize performance. Finally, we conclude by highlighting the strategy’s potential and setting the stage for further enhancements in automated trading.

This article is the first installment in a two-part series designed to impart practical skills and best practices for writing custom indicators in MQL5. Using Heikin Ashi as a working example, the article explores the theory behind Heikin Ashi charts, explains how Heikin Ashi candlesticks are calculated, and demonstrates their application in technical analysis. The centerpiece is a step-by-step guide to developing a fully functional Heikin Ashi indicator from scratch, with clear explanations to help readers understand what to code and why. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for Part Two, where we will build an expert advisor that trades based on Heikin Ashi logic.

The metabar-based indicator detected more candles than the conventional one. Let's check if this provides real benefit in the automated trading.

In this article, we will learn how to make the MetaTrader 5 platform talk. What if we make the EA more fun? Financial market trading is often too boring and monotonous, but we can make this job less tiring. Please note that this project can be dangerous for those who experience problems such as addiction. However, in a general case, it just makes things less boring.

We continue the series of articles on developing a trading robot in Python and MQL5. In this article, we will create a trading algorithm in Python.

In this article, we will automate the trading strategies with Parabolic SAR Strategy in MQL5: Crafting an Effective Expert Advisor. The EA will make trades based on trends identified by the Parabolic SAR indicator.

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.

In the previous article, we created a tool for creating and editing the architecture of neural networks. Today we will continue working on this tool. We will try to make it more user friendly. This may see, top be a step away form our topic. But don't you think that a well organized workspace plays an important role in achieving the result.

We continue considering association rules. In the previous article, we have discussed theoretical aspect of this type of problem. In this article, I will show the implementation of the FP Growth method using MQL5. We will also test the implemented solution using real data.

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, we explore the Grid-Mart Scalping Strategy, automating it in MQL5 with a dynamic dashboard for real-time trading insights. We detail its grid-based Martingale logic and risk management features. We also guide backtesting and deployment for robust performance.

How to access custom indicators directly in an Expert Advisor? A trading EA can be truly useful only if it can use custom indicators; otherwise, it is just a set of codes and instructions.

There are a lot of people who do not know how to program but they are quite creative and have great ideas. However, the lack of programming knowledge prevents them from implementing these ideas. Let's see together how to create a Chart Trade using the MetaTrader 5 platform itself, as if it were an IDE.

Today we will continue to develop the new order system. It is not that easy to implement a new system as we often encounter problems which greatly complicate the process. When these problems appear, we have to stop and re-analyze the direction in which we are moving.

Learn how to build a custom indicator in MQL5. With a project-based approach. This beginner-friendly guide covers indicator buffers, properties, and trend visualization, allowing you to learn step-by-step.
