Hello Oleksandr! For some reason the send for review button doesn't come up for me. My article is complete. I also messaged the moderator inside the article section but no response from them. What's the issue?

Probably the article wizard still detects incomplete/improper sections.

Most likely some required fields were not properly completed/validated.

I double-checked everything. All requirements are fullfilled. I have attached the files, the article is fully complete, the logo and background logo are inserted. The description is also inserted. I don't understand. Should I try a new article/draft? 
Here's the current one's link: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/23254/250011#!tab=article

How can I send the outline of my article to the moderator for approval?

The New Article page has only two options:

And when I continue with "Create atricle", It is not possible to send anything less than 5 pages to the moderator for approval.

Creating a new article has nothing to do with sending an article for review. 

You have an ongoing dialog with moderator, just follow it

Hello,

Proposed article: Pre-Trade Risk Governance in MetaTrader 5: Validating a Trade Before Order Submission

I would like to propose an article about a reusable MQL5 pre-trade risk validation framework.

The article would go beyond conventional position sizing and show how a BUY or SELL proposal can be validated before execution using monetary risk, broker volume constraints, minimum-lot compatibility, SL/TP range checks, free margin, projected margin level and structured APPROVED/BLOCKED decision codes.

The implementation would use native MQL5 functions such as OrderCalcProfit() and OrderCalcMargin() .

The article would not present trading signals or a trading strategy. Its focus would be the separation between trade selection and trade authorization through a broker-aware risk validation pipeline.

Proposed outline:

1. Position sizing is not trade validation
2. Representing a trade as a proposal
3. Broker and account constraints
4. Monetary risk with OrderCalcProfit()
5. Conservative volume normalization
6. Minimum-lot risk validation
7. SL/TP and price-range validation
8. Margin validation with OrderCalcMargin()
9. Structured APPROVED/BLOCKED results
10. Context invalidation
11. Complete validation pipeline
12. Practical test cases
13. Possible extensions

Would this topic be suitable for an MQL5 Articles submission?

Thank you for your feedback.

Hello moderators,

Outline for approval before writing: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/24531/263371#!tab=article

Working title: Your Backtest Is Only as Good as Your Data: A Pre-Research Audit in MQL5

The topic is data quality as a precondition for strategy research. Three traps in MetaTrader 5 data can each generate a convincing but false edge: an unreliable spread field in MqlRates, uneven bar density across years, and rollover jumps in the bid series. The deliverable is DataQualityAudit.mq5, which measures all three and writes CSV output, plus a case study showing the same analysis before and after the corrections.

Two questions:

1. The material is around 40,000 characters including code. Should I split it into two parts, or keep it as one article?

2. Does this conflict with the recently published "Hypothesis Testing for Trading Strategies" (https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/23742)? I do not think so, since that article tests price data while mine asks whether the data is sound enough to test, but I would rather check first.

Thank you.

Hello,

Before starting a new MQL5 article and building the experimental software, I would like to ask whether the following research approach would be appropriate for MQL5 Articles.

I am planning a controlled behavioral experiment using MetaTrader 5 as the experimental environment. The study would examine several gambling-psychology concepts in trading decisions within a single experiment, currently:

• Post-Loss Speeding

• Post-Reinforcement Pause

• Near-Miss Effect

• Big-Win Effect

Participants would not trade real money. The MQL5 program would show controlled chart scenarios and ask participants to make decisions such as BUY, SELL or SKIP, and possibly select risk or confidence levels.

The experiment would record only anonymous experimental variables such as decision latency, previous experimental outcome, selected action, selected risk and confidence response.

I would not collect MQL5 usernames, account numbers, broker information, real trading history or other personally identifiable information.

The program would not automatically transmit any data or use WebRequest. It would only create a local anonymized CSV file, which participants could voluntarily submit for aggregate analysis.

The hypotheses and analysis rules would be defined before participant data is collected, and the results would be reported regardless of whether the hypotheses are supported.

Before proceeding, I would like to clarify:

1. Is this type of experimental psychology / trading-behavior article suitable for MQL5 Articles?

2. May I recruit voluntary participants through the MQL5 community/forum?

3. Is it acceptable to provide an MQL5 experimental program that only creates a local anonymized CSV?

4. May participants voluntarily submit those anonymous experimental files for aggregate research?

5. Are there any additional requirements I should follow when conducting this type of voluntary participant study?

I would prefer to clarify the platform requirements before designing and running the experiment.

Thank you.
