History of MQL5.community development

In Part 6 of our MQL5 AI trading system series, we advance the ChatGPT-integrated Expert Advisor by introducing chat deletion functionality through interactive delete buttons in the sidebar, small/large history popups, and a new search popup, allowing traders to manage and organize persistent conversations efficiently while maintaining encrypted storage and AI-driven signals from chart data.

We continue our new series on Market-Positioning, where we study particular assets, with specific trade directions over manageable test windows. We started this by considering Nvidia Corp stock in the last article, where we covered 5 signal patterns from the complimentary pairing of the RSI and DeMarker oscillators. For this article, we cover the remaining 5 patterns and also delve into multi-pattern options that not only feature untethered combinations of all ten, but also specialized combinations of just a pair.

Generating new indicators from existing ones offers a powerful way to enhance trading analysis. By defining a mathematical function that integrates the outputs of existing indicators, traders can create hybrid indicators that consolidate multiple signals into a single, efficient tool. This article introduces a new indicator built from three oscillators using a modified version of the Pearson correlation function, which we call the Pseudo Pearson Correlation (PPC). The PPC indicator aims to quantify the dynamic relationship between oscillators and apply it within a practical trading strategy.

Fibonacci levels provide a practical framework that markets often respect, highlighting price zones where reactions are more likely. In this article, we build an expert advisor that applies Fibonacci retracement logic to anticipate likely future moves and trade retracements with pending orders. Explore the full workflow—from swing detection to level plotting, risk controls, and execution.

In this article, we look at the process of developing a table model in MQL5 using the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architectural pattern to separate data logic, presentation, and control, enabling structured, flexible, and scalable code. We consider implementation of classes for building a table model, including the use of linked lists for storing data.

We invite you to get acquainted with the Hierarchical Double-Tower Transformer (Hidformer) framework, which was developed for time series forecasting and data analysis. The framework authors proposed several improvements to the Transformer architecture, which resulted in increased forecast accuracy and reduced computational resource consumption.

Many traders struggle to identify genuine reversals. This article presents an EA that combines RVGI, CCI (±100), and an SMA trend filter to produce a single clear reversal signal. The EA includes an on-chart panel, configurable alerts, and the full source file for immediate download and testing.

Many people, especially non=programmers, find it very difficult to transfer information between MetaTrader 5 and other programs. One such program is Excel. Many use Excel as a way to manage and maintain their risk control. It is an excellent program and easy to learn, even for those who are not VBA programmers. Here we will look at how to establish a connection between MetaTrader 5 and Excel (a very simple method).

In this article, we build an MQL5 Expert Advisor for Fibonacci retracement trading, using either daily candle ranges or lookback arrays to calculate custom levels like 50% and 61.8% for entries, determining bullish or bearish setups based on close vs. open. The system triggers buys or sells on price crossings of levels with max trades per level, optional closure on new Fib calcs, points-based trailing stops after a min profit threshold, and SL/TP buffers as percentages of the range.

All algorithmic trading strategies are difficult to set up and maintain, regardless of complexity—a challenge shared by beginners and experts alike. This article introduces an ensemble framework where supervised models and human intuition work together to overcome their shared limitations. By aligning a moving average channel strategy with a Ridge Regression model on the same indicators, we achieve centralized control, faster self-correction, and profitability from otherwise unprofitable systems.

We commence a new article series that builds upon our earlier efforts laid out in the MQL5 Wizard series, by taking them further as we step up our approach to systematic trading and strategy testing. Within these new series, we’ll concentrate our focus on Expert Advisors that are coded to hold only a single type of position - primarily longs. Focusing on just one market trend can simplify analysis, lessen strategy complexity and expose some key insights, especially when dealing in assets beyond forex. Our series, therefore, will investigate if this is effective in equities and other non-forex assets, where long only systems usually correlate well with smart money or institution strategies.

In this part, we focus on how to merge real-time market feedback—such as live trade outcomes, volatility changes, and liquidity shifts—with adaptive model learning to maintain a responsive and self-improving trading system.
