History of MQL5.community development

EGARCH models log-variance, avoiding the non-negativity constraints that can distort GARCH estimates and enabling a clear treatment of leverage asymmetry. The article provides a complete MQL5 implementation with logarithmic backcasting, simulation-based multi-step forecasting, and diagnostics including the Engle–Ng Sign Bias, Leverage Correlation, and Volatility Runs tests. Practical outputs include EGARCH Volatility, an Innovation Z-Score, and an Asymmetric Volatility Regime Oscillator to support regime analysis and strategy design.

Experimental evaluation on standard benchmark functions reveals the advantages and limitations of directly adapting combinatorial algorithms. The article provides a detailed description of the ECEA algorithm's mechanisms and test results.

A direct MQL5 port of the fractal detector writes each pattern at its center bar, so a buffer read by an expert advisor holds a value that only existed n bars later. We implement CFractalFeatures.mqh with ProcessBar for bar-by-bar use and Compute for full-series recalculation, covering detection, strength scored against a fixed or volatility-scaled floor, an event-based support/resistance ring, and trend-filtered breakout signals. Output is eighteen buffers published at the confirmation bar, verified against the Python reference to within 1e-13.

We continue enhancing our modular indicator search panel by adding symbol selection capabilities. The implementation allows users to search for built-in indicators, choose a destination symbol, and attach the selected indicator without opening multiple charts or running separate Expert Advisor instances.

This article performs a numerical verification of MQL5 eigendecomposition for a covariance matrix using the spectral theorem A = V Λ Vᵀ. It reconstructs the matrix with Diag(), Transpose(), and MatMul(), computes the residual and its Frobenius norm, and shows that deviations remain at floating‑point precision, with results printed to the Experts journal.

This article benchmarks CUSUM_Breakpoint.mq5 against the Siegmund ARL₀ prediction on live‑like data. The empirical false‑alarm rate is about five times higher than theory for all tested symbols and timeframes, and confirmations show sensitivity to variance changes over mean changes. Practitioners should calibrate h and k on the target instrument's history and apply the signal to manage volatility regimes, not to infer directional shifts.

The article provides a fascinating look at how SwiGLU embedding reveals hidden market patterns, and how a sparse Mixture of Experts within a Decoder-Only Transformer makes forecasts more accurate at reasonable computational cost. We take an in-depth look at the integration of Time‑MoE into MQL5 and OpenCL, and provide a step-by-step guide to configuring and training the model.

The article explores the possibility of launching a terminal with a configuration file to perform automated routine tasks, programmatically handling such launches, and creating a fully-fledged system for auto-optimizing an EA using Windows OS tools.

The article bridges automated placement with manual analysis for the Fibonacci family in MQL5. It scans charts, identifies user Fibonacci objects, and normalizes their level arrays, interaction flags, and visuals per object type while preserving coordinates. With manual-priority enforcement, Expert Advisors can evaluate both human and code-generated tools reliably, without duplicates or runtime indexing issues.

This article builds a white-box classifier in MQL5 using the Tsetlin Machine. It learns human-readable AND-rules instead of weights, trains with integer state updates, and requires no external dependencies. You will assemble the automaton, clause, and multi-class voter, verify on XOR and other boolean tasks, booleanize indicators, label by forward ATR-scaled return, save the model to CSV, and view active rules on a live chart.

The article presents a position sizing engine for MQL5 Expert Advisors that separates risk policy from lot conversion. Four models—fixed fractional, fixed monetary, ATR-based volatility scaling, and equity-curve scaling—share a CLotConverter that uses OrderCalcProfit() to measure real money per point. A unified CPositionSizer interface exposes CalculateLots(), making model changes straightforward while producing broker-compliant volumes across symbols.

The article provides a practical research setup for weekend gap analysis: MQL5 extracts precise pip‑based gaps and tracks fills, while Python performs statistical testing and visualization. You will compute fill rates by gap buckets, model fill probability with logistic regression, and assess time-to-fill via Kaplan–Meier curves. All steps are configurable and reproducible for EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and beyond.

We implement a Future Swing Projection indicator in MQL5 that analyzes historical swing structure and estimates the next move from recent price behavior. It locates six alternating swing points, measures five completed legs, and uses their average distance to project a target five bars ahead. The indicator draws swing legs, a projection line, ATR‑based support and resistance zones, and a label with the projected price to keep the process rule‑based and reproducible.

We extend the supply and demand framework with a strategy layer that converts zone interactions into decisions. Qualified zones pass sequential checks for interaction proximity, approach behavior, higher‑timeframe alignment, and price action before execution is handed to a dedicated trade manager. This architecture improves control, maintainability, and future extensibility without changing the underlying zone engine.

We invite you to explore the practical implementation of a sparse mixture of experts block for time series in the OpenCL computing environment. This article provides a step-by-step explanation of how masked multi-window convolution works, as well as how gradient-based training is organized in the presence of multiple information streams.

A new original population-based algorithm, ECEA, is presented. Inspired by the process of water freezing, it adapts ideas from the Crystal Energy Optimizer (CEO) algorithm, which uses graph-based search, for general optimization problems. The algorithm uses a dynamic elite group, three search strategies, and a periodic diversification mechanism.
