From Novice to Expert: Parameter Control Utility

Today, we continue building on the foundation established in our previous article. If you’ve been following along, you’ll recall that we developed an indicator designed to visualize higher-timeframe (HTF) periods directly on lower-timeframe charts. This concept turned out to be a powerful analytical tool, revealing the intricate price movements hidden within the larger bars of higher timeframes.

From Novice to Expert: Revealing the Candlestick Shadows (Wicks)

Every candlestick on a chart represents a small yet intricate story of market behavior—a dynamic interaction between buyers and sellers compressed into a single bar. In our earlier work, we built the Market Periods Synchronizer, a system designed to visualize higher-timeframe (HTF) structures within lower-timeframe charts. That project successfully isolated and filled the bodies of major candles, enabling traders to observe how lower-period movements collectively form those larger bars.

From Novice to Expert: Forex Market Periods

Today’s challenge is to leverage MQL5 to visualize these market session periods, aligning them seamlessly with higher- and lower-timeframe structures. By synchronizing the open and close of these sessions, we aim to better understand how each one influences the next—and how timing truly powers price movement. Another fascinating mystery to uncover lies in the realization that financial candlesticks themselves represent time-based bars—typically denoting hourly, daily, or weekly periods. By applying the same concept to market sessions, we can create session-based candlesticks, each reflecting the unique characteristics of that trading window. Just like traditional timeframes, every session possesses its own Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) structure, telling a distinct story of activity, sentiment, and volatility within that period.

From Novice to Expert: Time Filtered Trading

By leveraging the capabilities of MQL5, we can precisely define the times we want to trade and receive alerts accordingly. In our previous discussion, we established the foundation for session visualization, where we uncovered the structure of each trading session—its body, upper wick, and lower wick. That project enabled us to visualize the broader market structure across higher-timeframe sessions, synchronized with lower-timeframe data to reveal the magnified internal price movements and patterns forming within.

From Novice to Expert: Predictive Price Pathways

Every trader knows the frustrating pattern: you watch a strong impulsive move develop, hesitate as fear and uncertainty take hold, then finally jump in just as the market exhausts its momentum—only to watch your position immediately retrace against you. This "chase and reverse" cycle represents one of the most common and costly mistakes in trading. The emotional whipsaw of fear of missing out (FOMO) followed by the pain of buying high and selling low can devastate both accounts and confidence.

Was there a recent change to MT5 on iphone????

Please wait for Apple to approve version 5431. This version uses the previous workflow, which allows you to install the SL and TP before entering the order screen.

From Novice to Expert: Navigating Market Irregularities

Markets are dynamic by nature. Levels that once appeared reliable can lose effectiveness as volatility increases and price structure becomes irregular. Today, we address this challenge by introducing an MQL5-based algorithmic approach that identifies dynamic support and resistance zones rather than fixed price lines. This innovation enhances traditional support and resistance trading by transforming a manual, static technique into a continuously adaptive, rule-driven system.
