History of MQL5.community development

For maximum reliability and productivity in MetaTrader products built with MQL, this article advocates a development approach based on reusable “packages” managed by KnitPkg, a project manager for MQL5/MQL4. A package can be used as a building block for other packages or as the foundation for final artifacts that run directly on the MetaTrader platform, such as EAs, indicators, and more.

This article develops an interactive MQL5 plot for the binomial distribution, combining a histogram of simulated outcomes with the theoretical probability mass function. It implements mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, percentiles, and confidence intervals, along with configurable themes and labels, and supports dragging, resizing, and live parameter changes. Use it to assess expected wins, likely drawdowns, and confidence ranges when validating trading strategies.

We have developed a system that enforces a daily trade limit to keep you aligned with your trading rules. It monitors all executed trades across the account and automatically intervenes once the defined limit is reached, preventing any further activity. By embedding control directly into the platform, the system ensures discipline is maintained even when market pressure rises.

The article builds a transparent MQL5 Expert Advisor for Larry Williams’ hidden smash day reversals. Signals are generated only on new bars: a setup bar is validated, then confirmed when the next session trades beyond its extreme. Risk is managed via ATR or structural stops with a defined risk-to-reward, position sizing can be fixed or balance-based, and direction filters plus a one-position policy ensure reproducible tests.

We continue to integrate methods proposed by the authors of the Attraos framework into trading models. Let me remind you that this framework uses concepts of chaos theory to solve time series forecasting problems, interpreting them as projections of multidimensional chaotic dynamic systems.

During sideways price movements, traders face excessive signals from multiple moving average crossovers. Today, we discuss how ALGLIB preprocesses raw price data to produce filtered crossover layers, which can also generate alerts when they occur. Join this discussion to learn how a mathematical library can be leveraged in MQL5 programs.

In this part, we will integrate a real-time correlation matrix into a multi-symbol Expert Advisor to prevent redundant or risk-stacked trades. By dynamically measuring cross-pair relationships, the EA will filter entries that conflict with existing exposure, improving portfolio balance, reducing systemic risk, and enhancing overall trade quality.

The Attraos framework integrates chaos theory into long-term time series forecasting, treating them as projections of multidimensional chaotic dynamic systems. Exploiting attractor invariance, the model uses phase space reconstruction and dynamic multi-resolution memory to preserve historical structures.

In this part of the Price Action Analysis Toolkit Development series, we develop an MQL5 indicator that automatically detects rising and falling wedge patterns in real time. The system confirms pivot structures, validates boundary convergence mathematically, prevents overlapping formations, and monitors breakout and failure conditions with precise visual feedback. Built using a clean object-oriented architecture, this implementation converts subjective wedge recognition into a structured, state-aware analytical component designed to strengthen disciplined price action analysis.

Let's discuss how we can make our Expert Advisors speech‑capable using text‑to‑speech technology, partnering Python and MQL5. After reading this article, you will walk away with a working example of an EA that speaks dynamic market information. You will master the application of TTS, the WebRequest function, and learn how Python libraries integrate with the MQL5 language to create a truly voice‑aware trading tool.
