History of MQL5.community development

In today's discussion, we explore how to self-host open-source AI models and use them to generate market insights. This forms part of our ongoing effort to expand the News Headline EA, introducing an AI Insights Lane that transforms it into a multi-integration assistive tool. The upgraded EA aims to keep traders informed through calendar events, financial breaking news, technical indicators, and now AI-generated market perspectives—offering timely, diverse, and intelligent support to trading decisions. Join the conversation as we explore practical integration strategies and how MQL5 can collaborate with external resources to build a powerful and intelligent trading work terminal.

In this article, we develop a Zone Recovery System integrated with an Envelopes trend-trading strategy in MQL5. We outline the architecture for using RSI and Envelopes indicators to trigger trades and manage recovery zones to mitigate losses. Through implementation and backtesting, we show how to build an effective automated trading system for dynamic markets

The Ichimoku-Kinko-Hyo Indicator and the ADX-Wilder oscillator are a pairing that could be used in complimentarily within an MQL5 Expert Advisor. The Ichimoku is multi-faceted, however for this article, we are relying on it primarily for its ability to define support and resistance levels. Meanwhile, we also use the ADX to define our trend. As usual, we use the MQL5 wizard to build and test any potential these two may possess.

This article aims to provide a trader-friendly, gentle introduction to the most common cointegration tests, along with a simple guide to understanding their results. The Engle-Granger and Johansen cointegration tests can reveal statistically significant pairs or groups of assets that share long-term dynamics. The Johansen test is especially useful for portfolios with three or more assets, as it calculates the strength of cointegrating vectors all at once.

How to apply predictive rules of supermarket retail analytics to the real Forex market? How are purchases of cookies, milk and bread related to stock exchange transactions? The article discusses an innovative approach to algorithmic trading based on the use of association rules.

We have already created quite a few components that help arrange auto optimization. During the creation, we followed the traditional cyclical structure: from creating minimal working code to refactoring and obtaining improved code. It is time to start clearing up our database, which is also a key component in the system we are creating.

The sqlite3 module in Python offers a straightforward approach for working with SQLite databases, it is fast and convenient. In this article, we are going to build a similar module on top of built-in MQL5 functions for working with databases to make it easier to work with SQLite3 databases in MQL5 as in Python.

Automating price action analysis is the way forward. In this article, we utilize the Dual CCI indicator, the Zero Line Crossover strategy, EMA, and price action to develop a tool that generates trade signals and sets stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels using ATR. Please read this article to learn how we approach the development of the CCI Zero Line EA.

We follow up on our last article, where we introduced the indicator pair of the MACD and the OBV, by looking at how this pairing could be enhanced with Machine Learning. MACD and OBV are a trend and volume complimentary pairing. Our machine learning approach uses a convolution neural network that engages the Exponential kernel in sizing its kernels and channels, when fine-tuning the forecasts of this indicator pairing. As always, this is done in a custom signal class file that works with the MQL5 wizard to assemble an Expert Advisor.

In this article, we enhance a neural network trading strategy in MQL5 with an adaptive learning rate to boost accuracy. We design and implement this mechanism, then test its performance. The article concludes with optimization insights for algorithmic trading.

In the second part of the article, we will continue developing a modified version of the AOS (Atomic Orbital Search) algorithm focusing on specific operators to improve its efficiency and adaptability. After analyzing the fundamentals and mechanics of the algorithm, we will discuss ideas for improving its performance and the ability to analyze complex solution spaces, proposing new approaches to extend its functionality as an optimization tool.

The Prophet model, developed by Facebook, is a robust time series forecasting tool designed to capture trends, seasonality, and holiday effects with minimal manual tuning. It has been widely adopted for demand forecasting and business planning. In this article, we explore the effectiveness of Prophet in forecasting volatility in forex instruments, showcasing how it can be applied beyond traditional business use cases.
