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.
In this article, we enhance the MQL5 canvas dashboard with advanced visual effects, including blur gradients for fog overlays, shadow rendering for headers, and antialiased drawing for smoother lines and curves. We add smooth mouse wheel scrolling to the text panel that does not interfere with the chart zoom scale, technically an upgrade.
An empirical study of Larry Williams' short-term trading patterns, showing how classic setups can be automated in MQL5, tested on real market data, and evaluated for consistency, profitability, and practical trading value.
In this article, we write an example of visualizing the optimization process and display the top three passes for the four optimization criteria. We will also provide an opportunity to select one of the three best passes for displaying its data in tables and on a chart.
In this article, we develop a Nick Rypock Trailing Reverse (NRTR) trading system in MQL5 that uses channel indicators for reversal signals, enabling trend-following entries with hedging support for buys and sells. We incorporate risk management features like auto lot sizing based on equity or balance, fixed or dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels using ATR multipliers, and position limits.
In this article, we demonstrate an easy way to install MetaTrader 5 on popular Linux versions — Ubuntu and Debian. These systems are widely used on server hardware as well as on traders’ personal computers.
How to purchase a trading robot from the MetaTrader Market and to install it?
A product from the MetaTrader Market can be purchased on the MQL5.com website or straight from the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 trading platforms. Choose a desired product that suits your trading style, pay for it using your preferred payment method, and activate the product.
This article presents a structured way to manage SQLite data in MQL5 through an ORM layer for MetaTrader 5. It introduces core classes for entity modeling and database access, a fluent CRUD API, reflection hooks for OnGet/OnSet, and macros to define models quickly. Practical code shows creating tables, binding fields, inserting, updating, querying, and deleting records. Developers gain reusable, type-safe components that minimize repetitive SQL.
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. This article covers the complete research process, including data collection, Python-based statistical analysis, algorithm design, testing, and final conclusions. To explore the methodology and findings in detail, read the full article.
In this article, we'll look at what you need to do to start using Excel to manage MetaTrader 5, but in a very interesting way. To do this, we will use an Excel add-in to avoid using built-in VBA. If you don't know what add-in is meant, read this article and learn how to program in Python directly in Excel.
Breadth First Search (BFS) uses level-order traversal to model market structure as a directed graph of price swings evolving through time. By analyzing historical bars or sessions layer by layer, BFS prioritizes recent price behavior while still respecting deeper market memory.
The new proprietary optimization algorithm NOA2 (Neuroboids Optimization Algorithm 2) combines the principles of swarm intelligence with neural control. NOA2 combines the mechanics of a neuroboid swarm with an adaptive neural system that allows agents to self-correct their behavior while searching for the optimum. The algorithm is under active development and demonstrates potential for solving complex optimization problems.
In this part, we will focus on designing an intelligent execution layer that continuously monitors and evaluates real-time spread conditions across multiple symbols. The EA dynamically adapts its symbol selection by enabling or disabling trading based on spread efficiency rather than fixed rules. This approach allows high-frequency multi-pair systems to prioritize cost-effective symbols.
Create a custom MT5 indicator that processes the entire deal history and plots starting balance, balance, equity, and floating P/L as continuous curves. It updates per bar, aggregates positions across symbols, and avoids external dependencies through local caching. Use it to inspect equity–balance divergence, realized vs. unrealized results, and the timing of risk deployment.
We continue exploring hybrid graph sequence models (GSM++), which integrate the advantages of different architectures, providing high analysis accuracy and efficient distribution of computing resources. These models effectively identify hidden patterns, reducing the impact of market noise and improving forecasting quality.
Wave analysis is one of the methods used in technical analysis. This article focuses on two less conventional wave patterns: triangular and sawtooth waves. These formations underpin a number of technical indicators designed for market price analysis.
In this article, we develop a Nick Rypock Trailing Reverse (NRTR) trading system in MQL5 that uses channel indicators for reversal signals, enabling trend-following entries with hedging support for buys and sells. We incorporate risk management features like auto lot sizing based on equity or balance, fixed or dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels using ATR multipliers, and position limits.
This article develops a market state classification module for MQL5 that interprets price behavior using completed price data. By examining volatility contraction, expansion, and structural consistency, the tool classifies market conditions as compression, transition, expansion, or trend, providing a clear contextual framework for price action analysis.
