Market Microstructure in MQL5 (Part 7): Regime Classification for MetaTrader 5
We integrate eleven one-minute microstructure measurements from Parts 2–6 into a composite regime label with confidence and direction. A rule-based RegimeClassifier() assigns one of six regimes—Normal, Stressed, Noisy, Informed, Trending, Mean-Reverting—using empirically derived thresholds from 514
Market Microstructure in MQL5 (Part 6): Order Flow for MetaTrader 5
This article adds six order-flow functions and a new OrderFlowAnalysis struct to MicroStructureFoundation.mqh: VPINOHLC, signed flow imbalance, trade intensity versus a 20-session baseline, a late-minus-early smart-money index, flow momentum, and a wrapper that outputs a confidence weight. Flow
Market Microstructure in MQL5 (Part 5): Microstructure Noise for MetaTrader 5
The article extends MicroStructure_Foundation.mqh with a MicrostructureAnalysis struct and five functions that decompose M1 price variation into a quoted spread proxy, Roll-implied spread, OHLC-based noise ratio, order imbalance, and an adverse selection component. A wrapper populates these fields
Market Microstructure in MQL5 (Part 4): Volatility That Remembers for MetaTrader 5
This article adds eight volatility functions to MicroStructure_Foundation.mqh, including realized volatility, duration-adjusted volatility, fractional volatility, a FIGARCH-inspired proxy, a volatility clustering index, a GJR-GARCH asymmetry measure (using the Dube library), bipower-variation jump
Market Microstructure in MQL5 (Part 3): Estimating ARFIMA d with GPH for MetaTrader 5
A GPH‑based estimator for d, the key ARFIMA parameter, is added to MicroStructure_Foundation.mqh. GPHEstimator() computes d via log‑periodogram regression, while PopulateARFIMAAnalysis() stores d with an R² confidence score and validates the theoretical relationship H = d + 0.5. An empirical study
Market Microstructure in MQL5 (Part 2): Measuring long memory in MQL5 with Hurst estimators for MetaTrader 5
Part 2 focuses on practical long-memory detection for intraday data. Three complementary Hurst estimators are implemented and combined into a confidence‑weighted composite, with confidence tied to valid regression scales. The final H and confidence populate the shared analysis struct, enabling
Market Microstructure in MQL5 (Part 1): Robust Foundation for MetaTrader 5
This article builds the foundation layer of a twelve-part MQL5 market microstructure toolkit. It implements guarded math helpers (SafeDivide, SafeLog, SafeSqrt, SafeExp, SafeTanh), robust data validation (ValidateSymbolV2, SafeCopyClose), trimmed statistical estimators (robust mean var), a linear
GoertzelBrain: Adaptive Spectral Cycle Detection with Neural Network Ensemble in MQL5 for MetaTrader 5
GoertzelBrain combines Goertzel spectral analysis with an online‑trained neural network ensemble to convert cycle features into a directional confirmation signal. The indicator builds a compact feature vector from the dominant period, amplitude, confidence and their dynamics, plus local volatility
