Automating Trading Strategies in MQL5 (Part 50): Turtle Soup Liquidity Sweeps for MetaTrader 5
We build an automated MQL5 program that trades Turtle Soup by fading false breakouts of the N-bar high and low. The article implements liquidity-sweep detection, confirmation closes back inside the level, sweep-depth and extreme-age filters, and an optional reversal-candle body check. It adds
MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 39): Adding a Pinned-Tools Ribbon for Quick Access to Favorite Tools for MetaTrader 5
We add a pinned-tools ribbon: a floating bar that exposes frequently used tools for one-click access without reopening the sidebar. The article implements the ordered pin set and its API, an anti-aliased pushpin control in the flyout, and the ribbon with offscreen clipping, user-resizable width, and
Automating Trading Strategies in MQL5 (Part 49): The Quasimodo (QM) Reversal Pattern for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we build an automated trading program in MQL5 that detects the Quasimodo reversal pattern from a zig-zag of confirmed swing pivots. We work through swing detection, pattern arming, retrace entries at the QM line, and structural stop placement with risk-based sizing. We also add
MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 38): Adding a Tabbed Settings Window for Editing Object Properties for MetaTrader 5
We add a tabbed settings window opened from the ribbon and bound to the selected object. The tabs — Style, Text, Coordinates, and Visibility — are built from the same descriptor system, with scrolling, per-level rows, and shared color/width/style popovers. The article covers layout, rendering
MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 37): Adding a Per-Object Property-Editing Ribbon to the Canvas Drawing Layer for MetaTrader 5
We add a descriptor-driven property stack and a floating ribbon that binds to the current selection on the drawing layer. The article covers the descriptor list for each tool, the engine get/set API with snapshot-and-restore live preview, and widget renderers for color, opacity, line width, line
MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 36): Adding Shape and Annotation Tools with In-Place Label Editing to the Canvas Drawing Layer for MetaTrader 5
We add eight shape tools and nine annotation tools to the canvas and implement a full in-place label-editing system. The article walks through geometry, AA rendering, shared word-wrap and supersampled text helpers, and the caret-driven state machine for typing, navigation, and selection. This yields
MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 35): Adding Channel, Pitchfork, Gann, and Fibonacci Tools to the Canvas Drawing Layer for MetaTrader 5
We extend the canvas drawing layer from the previous part with seven new categories of multi-anchor analytical drawing tools, covering three channel variants, three pitchfork variants, three Gann tools, and the six Fibonacci tools. We work through how each tool encodes its geometry on the canvas
MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 34): Replacing Native Chart Objects with an Interactive Canvas Drawing Layer for MetaTrader 5
We replace native MetaTrader chart objects with a canvas-based drawing engine that renders tools pixel-by-pixel on a full-chart bitmap layer. The article implements persistent object storage with per-tool style memory, precise hit testing, selection, whole-object dragging, and handle manipulation
MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 33): Building a Rich Content Markup Documentation System for MQL5 Programs for MetaTrader 5
We extend the Part 9 setup wizard to build a canvas-based, in-chart documentation system for MetaTrader 5. The panel is tabbed and scrollable, supports inline styling, images, and interactive controls, and renders with supersampled anti-aliasing. The result is a reusable engine that any MQL5 program
Trading with the MQL5 Economic Calendar (Part 12): SQLite Storage and Deduplication for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we replace the embedded CSV snapshot with a SQLite layer that persists calendar events and triggered trade IDs across restarts. The database lives in the common terminal folder and is shared by live charts and the strategy tester, so both modes read the same data without
