The article upgrades SuperTrend by integrating a divergence engine (MPO4 or RSI) the dynamically reduces the ATR multiplier during weakening momentum. It covers the shrinking formula, non-repainting state propagation with dedicated buffers, and a step-by-step MQL5 implementation on the price chart. You will learn how to interpret arrows and line flips, adjust inputs, and apply the indicator for disciplined trailing and earlier confirmations.

We introduce MPO4, a pressure-based oscillator that emphasizes the body and direction of candles in the context of current volatility. The article details its mathematics, normalization into a bounded range, and the EMA smoothing, then builds a pivot-driven divergence module designed not to repaint. You get complete MQL5 implementation and practical guidance for interpreting signals, including a comparison with RSI as an alternative source.

This article implements a static, CSV-based news source for the Strategy Tester, so historical economic news events can be preloaded and queried during backtesting. It replaces live calendar calls in tester mode with a fast in-memory search, preserves the live logic for trading, and delivers deterministic, repeatable results with explicit control over included events, enabling reliable validation of news-aware filters, stop suspension, and trade-blocking rules.

The article introduces a restart-safe storage model for news-time stop removal. Suspension state and original SL/TP per position are written to terminal global variables, reconstructed on OnInit, and cleaned after restoration. This lets the EA resume an active suspension window after recompiles or restarts and restore stops only when the news window ends.

In part 2, we extend the news filter to protect existing positions during news events. Instead of closing trades, we temporarily remove stop-loss and take-profit levels, storing them safely in memory. When the news window ends, stops are deterministically restored, adjusted if price has already crossed the original levels, while respecting broker minimum distance rules. The result is a mechanism that preserves trade integrity without interfering with entry logic, keeping the EA in control through volatility.

We build a calendar‑driven news filter entirely in MQL5, avoiding web requests and external DLLs. Part 1 covers loading and caching events, mapping them to symbols by currency, filtering by impact level, defining pre/post windows, and blocking new trades during active news, with optional pre‑news position closure. The result is a configurable, prop‑firm‑friendly control that reduces false pauses and protects entries during volatility.
