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

Trading with the MQL5 Economic Calendar (Part 11): Modular Canvas News Dashboard for MetaTrader 5

We rebuild the MQL5 Economic Calendar dashboard from a monolithic object-based panel into a modular canvas-based system split across four files. The update adds a dual light and dark theme, collapsible day groups, a resizable layout with pixel-based scrolling, revised value markers, and a live

MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 32): Crosshair, Magnifier, and Measure Mode for MetaTrader 5

MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 31): Creating an Interactive Tools Palette in MQL5 for MetaTrader 5

MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 30): Class-Based Tool Palette Sidebar for MetaTrader 5

We refactor the Tools Palette from a flat, function-based panel into a modular, class-driven sidebar in MQL5. The design introduces supersampled canvas rendering for anti-aliased shapes, theme control, a category registry, snap alignment, and selective corner rounding. The result is a reusable

In this article, we expand our butterfly animation program with a four-stage animation pipeline: sequential curve drawing, smooth wing fill fading, detailed body rendering, and continuous flight. We implement a timer-driven state machine, four oscillators for wing flapping, vertical bobbing

Automating Trading Strategies in MQL5 (Part 48): Order Blocks, Inducement, Break of Structure for MetaTrader 5

We implement an MQL5 expert advisor that detects order blocks formed after consolidation breakouts and confirms them with fair value gaps. Each zone is validated by a break of structure and a preceding inducement, then filtered by the higher-timeframe trend. The program adds mitigation tracking

MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 28): Filling Sweep Polygons for Butterfly Curve in MQL5 for MetaTrader 5

We expand the capabilities of the MetaTrader 5 butterfly curve canvas by adding multi-layered wing fills, vein lines, scale dots, and a full body (abdomen, thorax, head, eyes, antennae).
