Real author:

Sergey Bochkanov. ALGLIB project website - http://www.alglib.net/. The library dates back to 1999.

Note: The Expert Advisor works with MetaTrader 4 build 555 and higher.

The archive must be unpacked to: terminal_data_folder.
The codes of the library are located in terminal_data_folder\Math\Alglib\
Examples of test scripts are located in terminal_data_folder\MQL4\Scripts\Alglib\

ALGLIB is one of the largest and most complete mathematical libraries

Do you need to make a fast Fourier transform or to solve a differential equation system? Do you perform a complex data analysis trying to gather all methods in one place as a source code? Then ALGLIB library of numerical methods is for you!

ALGLIB is currently one of the best libraries of the multi-language algorithms. Below are ALGLIB features mentioned on the official website:

ALGLIB is a cross-platform numerical analysis and data processing library. It supports several programming languages (C++, C#, Pascal, VBA) and several operating systems (Windows, Linux, Solaris). ALGLIB features include:

  • Linear algebra (direct algorithms, EVD/SVD)
  • Solvers (linear and nonlinear)
  • Interpolation
  • Optimization
  • Fast Fourier transforms
  • Numerical integration
  • Linear and nonlinear least-squares fitting
  • Ordinary differential equations
  • Special functions
  • Statistics (descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing)
  • Data analysis (classification/regression, including neural networks)
  • Multiple precision versions of linear algebra, interpolation optimization and others algorithms (using MPFR for floating point computations)

Why to choose ALGLIB? Because it is:

  • portable. It can be compiled almost anywhere using almost any compiler (see compatibility matrix for more info).
  • easy to use. It supports many programming languages. If you use one language, you don't need to study another (FORTRAN, for example) to compile and link an external library.
  • open source. It can be used for free under GPL 2+.
  • suited for commercial users too. Those who want to use ALGLIB in commercial applications can buy commercial license without copyleft requirement.

ALGLIB library is being constantly enhanced, new functions and improvements according to users' comments are implemented regularly. The latest version is 3.6.0.

Besides, the library contains the large collection of test cases covering the major part of the proposed methods' functionality. That will allow you to carry the tests and report detected errors to the project's authors.


CAlglib class static functions should be used to work with the library - all library functions are moved to CAlglib system class as static functions.

testclasses.mq4 and testinterfaces.mq5 test cases scripts are attached together with a simple usealglib.mq4 demo script. Include files of the same name (testclasses.mqh and testinterfaces.mqh) are used to launch test cases. They must be placed to \MQL4\Scripts\Alglib\Testcases\.

Note: testclasses.mq4 script execution takes quite a long time (about 30 minutes).
