Articles on trading system automation in MQL5

The article presents a full MQL5 implementation of a multi-symbol trend system: dual EMA crossovers for entries, ADX to avoid ranges, ATR to normalize position size, and a heat monitor to cap total portfolio risk. We explain the architecture, calculation details, and entry/exit logic on daily bars. The result is a practical EA template for systematic, risk-aware portfolio trading.

A file-based news filter for MQL5 reads a pre-downloaded Forex Factory CSV from MQL5/Files, avoiding fragile web scraping and paid APIs. It provides a modular CNewsFilter with a quote-aware CSV parser, suffix-robust currency extraction, an inclusive time-window checker with clear block reasons, and chart zones for today's events. A demo EA and assertion tests help you integrate and verify offline filtering around scheduled releases.

The article describes a practical implementation of the HimNet framework based on MQL5, ready for integration into automated trading. We demonstrate how heterogeneity-adapted meta-parameters transform the model into a universal tool capable of handling fluctuating volatility.

One of the issues that bothered me the most was that the `C_ElementsTrade` class contains code for accessing positions. Don't take this as a mistake, because it really isn't one. However, this increases the risk of errors in some of the tasks we will need to handle later. All work on implementing the position indicator was carried out with a view to its use in the replay/simulation service. However, when running in this environment, we will have no access to actual positions. Consequently, any call to the MQL5 library intended to retrieve position data will have no effect in this environment.

Article revisits Trading Robot that merged Discrete Fourier Transform with Leaky Integrate-and-Fire Spiking Neural Network. Evaluation is made over the seven operating modes with different symbols, timeframes, and test windows. We use two-thirds of the test window to optimize while the one-third does a forward walk run. This study tries to detail parameter interactions, input scaling, gating effects, and outlines practical checks that include rolling windows, frozen inputs, and others. The goal remains identifying settings worth further testing or paper trading.

We replace the embedded bitmap icons in our MQL5 canvas interface with a resolution-independent vector icon system. A small set of anti-aliased primitives (strokes, discs, rings, rounded rectangles, and polygons) draws every logo and sidebar glyph procedurally, then plugs into the header, sidebar, and theme toggle. You get smaller builds, theme-aware recoloring, and icons that stay sharp at any size.

Code and build Python-based trading robots just like MQL5 Expert Advisors (EAs). In this article, we develop a Python-based replica of the MetaTrader 5 Python package, providing methods that closely resemble those of MetaTrader 5 during simulation. This allows us to backtest Python EAs in a simplified environment, using an approach similar to developing and testing Expert Advisors in MQL5.

In this article, I will present our system for simulating market operations. Although everything is practically finished, there are still a few things to implement and a few changes to make. However, I have to admit that, after everything we've already developed, I'm tired of still being stuck on implementing this system.
