Check out the new article: Automating Trading Strategies in MQL5 (Part 21): Enhancing Neural Network Trading with Adaptive Learning Rates.

In this article, we enhance a neural network trading strategy in MQL5 with an adaptive learning rate to boost accuracy. We design and implement this mechanism, then test its performance. The article concludes with optimization insights for algorithmic trading.

In Part 20, we developed a multi-symbol trading system that utilizes the Commodity Channel Index and Awesome Oscillator, enabling automated trend reversal trades across multiple currency pairs. Now, in Part 21, we dive into a dynamic neural network-based trading strategy, harnessing the power of neural networks—computational models mimicking the human brain’s interconnected neurons—to predict market price movements with greater precision by processing diverse market indicators and adapting the learning process to market volatility. Our goal is to build a flexible, high-performance trading system that leverages neural networks to analyze complex market patterns and execute trades with optimized accuracy through an adaptive learning rate mechanism.

Neural networks operate through layers of nodes, or neurons, structured as an input layer that captures market data, hidden layers that uncover intricate patterns, and an output layer that generates trade signals, such as predicting upward or downward price movements. Forward propagation drives data through these layers, where neurons apply weights and biases to inputs, transforming them into predictions. See below.
