Project Template Generator for MetaTrader 5
This script serves as a practical example of how developers can programmatically work with files using MQL5. One of its key objectives is to demonstrate effective project file organization, which is essential for developers working on large-scale systems or aiming to create portable, self-contained
Telegram integration made easy for MetaTrader 5
The goal is to make the function readily available for any Telegram integration task in MQL5 development. By adding this file to your CodeBase, you can simply include it in your Expert Advisors and call the function directly from the included module. This eliminates the need to redevelop the code

Overcoming Accessibility Problems in MQL5 Trading Tools (Part I): How to Add Contextual Voice Alerts in MQL5 Indicators for MetaTrader 5
This article explores an accessibility-focused enhancement that goes beyond default terminal alerts by leveraging MQL5 resource management to deliver contextual voice feedback. Instead of generic tones, the indicator communicates what has occurred and why, allowing traders to understand market
The MQL5 Standard Library Explorer (Part 7): Interactive Position Labeling with CCanvas for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we explore how to build a position information visualization tool using the MQL5 Standard Library’s CCanvas. This project strengthens your skills in working with library modules while providing traders with a practical tool to visualize and interact with open positions directly on a
Integrating External Applications with MQL5 Community OAuth for MetaTrader 5
Learn how to add “Sign in with MQL5” to your Android app using the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow. The guide covers app registration, endpoints, redirect URI, Custom Tabs, deep-link handling, and a PHP backend that exchanges the code for an access token over HTTPS. You will authenticate real MQL5
From Novice to Expert: Developing a Liquidity Strategy for MetaTrader 5
Liquidity zones are commonly traded by waiting for the price to return and retest the zone of interest, often through the placement of pending orders within these areas. In this article, we leverage MQL5 to bring this concept to life, demonstrating how such zones can be identified programmatically
From Novice to Expert: Creating a Liquidity Zone Indicator for MetaTrader 5
The extent of liquidity zones and the magnitude of the breakout range are key variables that substantially affect the probability of a retest occurring. In this discussion, we outline the complete process for developing an indicator that incorporates these ratios
From Novice to Expert: Statistical Validation of Supply and Demand Zones for MetaTrader 5
Today, we uncover the often overlooked statistical foundation behind supply and demand trading strategies. By combining MQL5 with Python through a Jupyter Notebook workflow, we conduct a structured, data-driven investigation aimed at transforming visual market assumptions into measurable insights
The MQL5 Standard Library Explorer (Part 6): Optimizing a generated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5
In this discussion, we follow up on the previously developed multi-signal Expert Advisor with the objective of exploring and applying available optimization methods. The aim is to determine whether the trading performance of the EA can be meaningfully improved through systematic optimization based
