This article introduces a lightweight OS-like helper for MQL5 that streamlines file and path operations using a Python-inspired interface. We implement getcwd, listdir, scandir with DirEntry, remove, rmdir, rename, mkdir, stat, and an os.path subset (exists, isfile, isdir, join, split, pardir). You will learn how to work consistently within the terminal Files/common sandbox and simplify everyday filesystem tasks.

Code and build Python-based trading robots just like MQL5 Expert Advisors (EAs). In this article, we develop a Python-based replica of the MetaTrader 5 Python package, providing methods that closely resemble those of MetaTrader 5 during simulation. This allows us to backtest Python EAs in a simplified environment, using an approach similar to developing and testing Expert Advisors in MQL5.

This article presents reusable MQL5 utilities for managing trailing and break-even stops. It covers fixed-point, moving average, ATR, Parabolic SAR, money-based, and time-periodic trailing, plus break-even by points and by money, with activation thresholds, step logic, reverse-move protection, and broker-level validation. Code examples and Bootstrap classes show how to integrate these helpers into Expert Advisors to standardize position control and reduce duplicate code.

This article presents a unified news model and a set of reusable MQL5 classes for working with the MetaTrader 5 Economic Calendar. You will retrieve, filter, and cache events by time, currency, country, and importance using a single interface across three providers: built-in calendar, CSV, and SQLite. The framework supports export/import, next/previous event lookup, and reliable strategy‑tester backtesting without changing trading logic.

The article builds a reusable validation layer for Expert Advisors in MQL5. It implements lot-size rules and normalization, SL/TP and freeze-level guards, price digit normalization, margin sufficiency checks, unchanged-level filtering on modifications, account order-limit control, new-bar detection, symbol tradability checks, economic-calendar news windows, and session detectors. The result is cleaner code and fewer terminal errors in live trading.

This article presents a compact MQL5 utility layer for routine trade operations. It includes position existence checkers, position counters, bulk close helpers, and functions to retrieve the most recent or oldest position by symbol, magic, or type. A simple SMA crossover Expert Advisor demonstrates integration. The result is cleaner EAs, fewer inconsistencies across projects, and faster maintenance.

This article presents a MetaTrader 5–compatible backtesting workflow that scales across symbols and timeframes. We use HistoryManager to parallelize data collection, synchronize bars and ticks from all timeframes, and run symbol‑isolated OnTick handlers in threads. You will learn how modelling modes affect speed/accuracy, when to rely on terminal data, how to reduce I/O with event‑driven updates, and how to assemble a complete multicurrency trading robot.

From ChatGPT to Gemini and many model AI tools for text, image, and video generation. Transformers have rocked the AI-world. But, are they applicable in the financial (trading) space? Let's find out.

In this fascinating article, we build our very first trading robot in the simulator and run a strategy testing action that resembles how the MetaTrader 5 strategy tester works, then compare the outcome produced in a custom simulation against our favorite terminal.

In this article we introduce Python-MetaTrader5-like ways of handling trading operations such as opening, closing, and modifying orders in the simulator. To ensure the simulation behaves like MetaTrader 5, a strict validation layer for trade requests is implemented, taking into account symbol trading parameters and typical brokerage restrictions.

In this article, we introduce functions similar to those provided by the Python-MetaTrader 5 module, providing a simulator with a familiar interface and a custom way of handling bars and ticks internally.

This article shows how to simplify complex MQL5 file operations by building a Python-style interface for effortless reading and writing. It explains how to recreate Python’s intuitive file-handling patterns through custom functions and classes. The result is a cleaner, more reliable approach to MQL5 file I/O.

In this article, we will attempt to predict the market with a decent model for time series forecasting named DeepAR. A model that is a combination of deep neural networks and autoregressive properties found in models like ARIMA and Vector Autoregressive (VAR).

Integrating Python's logging module with MQL5 empowers traders with a systematic logging approach, simplifying the process of monitoring, debugging, and documenting trading activities. This article explains the adaptation process, offering traders a powerful tool for maintaining clarity and organization in trading software development.

Unlike MQL5, Python programming language offers control and flexibility when it comes to dealing with and manipulating time. In this article, we will implement similar modules for better handling of dates and time in MQL5 as in Python.

El módulo de MetaTrader 5 disponible en Python ofrece una forma cómoda de abrir operaciones en la aplicación de MetaTrader 5 utilizando Python, pero presenta un gran problema: carece de la función de Probador de estrategias que sí incluye la aplicación de MetaTrader 5. En esta serie de artículos, crearemos un marco de trabajo para realizar pruebas retrospectivas de tus estrategias de trading en entornos de Python.

El módulo schedule de Python ofrece una forma sencilla de programar tareas repetitivas. Aunque MQL5 carece de una funcionalidad equivalente integrada, en este artículo implementaremos una biblioteca similar para facilitar la configuración de eventos temporizados en MetaTrader 5.

N-BEATS es un modelo revolucionario de aprendizaje profundo diseñado para la previsión de series temporales. Fue lanzado para superar los modelos clásicos de pronóstico de series temporales como ARIMA, PROPHET, VAR, etc. En este artículo vamos a analizar este modelo y a utilizarlo para predecir el mercado bursátil.

En este artículo, implementamos un un módulo similar a requests, como el que ofrece Python para facilitar el envío y la recepción de solicitudes web en MetaTrader 5 utilizando MQL5.

El módulo sqlite3 de Python ofrece una forma sencilla de trabajar con bases de datos SQLite; es rápido y práctico. En este artículo, vamos a crear un módulo similar a partir de las funciones integradas de MQL5 para trabajar con bases de datos, con el fin de facilitar el trabajo con bases de datos SQLite3 en MQL5, al igual que en Python.
