History of MQL5.community development

Replay buffers in Reinforcement Learning are particularly important with off-policy algorithms like DQN or SAC. This then puts the spotlight on the sampling process of this memory-buffer. While default options with SAC, for instance, use random selection from this buffer, Prioritized Experience Replay buffers fine tune this by sampling from the buffer based on a TD-score. We review the importance of Reinforcement Learning, and, as always, examine just this hypothesis (not the cross-validation) in a wizard assembled Expert Advisor.

In this article, we build an MQL5 Expert Advisor to detect Butterfly harmonic patterns. We identify pivot points and validate Fibonacci levels to confirm the pattern. We then visualize the pattern on the chart and automatically execute trades when confirmed.

Most modern multimodal time series forecasting methods use the independent channels approach. This ignores the natural dependence of different channels of the same time series. Smart use of two approaches (independent and mixed channels) is the key to improving the performance of the models.

Join us in our discussion today as we look for an algorithmic procedure to minimize the total number of times we get stopped out of winning trades. The problem we faced is significantly challenging, and most solutions given in community discussions lack set and fixed rules. Our algorithmic approach to solving the problem increased the profitability of our trades and reduced our average loss per trade. However, there are further advancements to be made to completely filter out all trades that will be stopped out, our solution is a good first step for anyone to try.

We continue our acquaintance with the TEMPO method. In this article we will evaluate the actual effectiveness of the proposed approaches on real historical data.

Embracing technical indicators in price action analysis is a powerful approach. These indicators often highlight key levels of reversals and retracements, offering valuable insights into market dynamics. In this article, we demonstrate how we developed an automated tool that generates signals using the Parabolic SAR indicator.

What is the essence of Gann Theory? How are Gann angles constructed? We will create Gann Angles indicator for MetaTrader 5.

The article is a continuation of the series for beginners. It covers in detail data arrays, the interaction of data and functions, as well as global terminal variables that allow data exchange between different MQL5 programs.

The article is devoted to the AMO algorithm, which models the seasonal migration of animals in search of optimal conditions for life and reproduction. The main features of AMO include the use of topological neighborhood and a probabilistic update mechanism, which makes it easy to implement and flexible for various optimization tasks.

In this article, we build a grid trading expert advisor in MQL5 that uses dynamic lot scaling. We cover the strategy design, code implementation, and backtesting process. Finally, we share key insights and best practices for optimizing the automated trading system.
