From Novice to Expert: Auto-Geometric Analysis System

From Novice to Expert: Auto-Geometric Analysis System

Today’s discussion aims to address the challenge of analyzing candlestick patterns using geometric approaches. In our recent article, From Novice to Expert: Programming Candlesticks, we focused on identifying simple candlestick patterns, which are typically composed of just a few candles. However, when working with larger sequences of candlesticks, pattern recognition becomes more complex, as consistency tends to diminish over long series.

Are there any serious plans to upgrade MetaEditor to a professional-grade programming IDE?

Renat Fatkhullin , 2025.05.28 19:20

A beta will be released in the coming days, where the MT5 editor storage has been changed to Git.

We are launching a new collaboration project MQL5 Algo Forge: https://forge.mql5.io

I have explained many times that only professional developers create products that are widely used. They need more and more features.

That's why we put so much effort into developing the MQL5 language. The new beta will feature a major upgrade of OpenBLAS mathematics.

We are also preparing a new compiler for release with a lot of new features. It will not be in beta yet.

For Low code and non-professional developers, we will later upgrade AI Assistant and offer our own MCP server.

Git is fully integrated into MetaEditor and there is no need to install a third-party Git.

For now, we only offer work with our Algo Forge platform, similar to GitHub. The main MQL5 root will always work with our storage, and in Shared Projects we may allow linking our external storage. To do this, you can specify an account in an external system in the settings.

Our task is to restart joint projects .

For the last six months we have been busy with server capabilities and have not spent much time on the terminal.

What was done for the terminal:

  • Rewritten GUI libraries to support dark schemes
  • We have updated the visual interface
  • Developed a new compiler - not finished yet
  • Extended OpenBLAS and related math functions

What we will do next in the terminal and editor:

  • Change the chart graphics engine, abandoning the old GDI
  • Increase the chart capabilities by adding a combination of additional symbols on the main chart
  • We will expand the functionality of manual trading
  • Expand our joint work on projects
  • We will enable a new compiler with new intelligence
  • Expand projects
  • The compiler will be able to work with Visual Studio projects and natively compile C/C++ projects to create MQL5 modules/libraries
  • We will introduce a package manager for easy import of modules, they will be natively compiled into a single final EX5 file
  • We will enable native versions for the ARM64 platform, all other components of the system already work natively under ARM64

 

Very important announcement concerning MetaEditor and more:

MetaTrader 5 Platform beta build 5050: Transition to Git and MQL5 Algo Forge developer hub, dark theme and interface improvements

In this version, we have significantly revamped the MetaEditor source code editor. The built-in version control system, MQL5 Storage, has been migrated from Subversion to Git. Git is the global standard for developers, offering enhanced reliability and flexibility in code management. With the transition to Git, we are introducing MQL5 Algo Forge, a new online portal for project management. This is not just a project list, it is a full-fledged social network for developers. Follow interesting developers, create teams, and collaborate on projects effortlessly.
