This article shows how to build an MQL5 Expert Advisor around the UT Bot Alerts indicator. The EA reads custom indicator signals via iCustom() and CopyBuffer(), evaluates entries only on new bars, using the last closed candle at index 1, and enforces a one-direction-at-a-time model by closing opposite positions before taking new entries. It also adds optional ATR-based stop-losses, reward-to-risk take-profits, dedicated buy/sell execution functions, magic-number tracking, and basic backtesting for repeatable evaluation.

This article demonstrates how to build the UT Bot Alerts indicator in MQL5 using a clear, step-by-step approach. The tutorial explains how to implement an ATR-based trailing stop system, compute a custom EMA for signal detection, and generate buy and sell signals without repainting. The final indicator provides well-structured buffers that enable easy integration with Expert Advisors, automated trading systems, and other algorithmic tools within the MetaTrader 5 platform.

This article implements a real-time monitoring dashboard for a self-healing MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor. The dashboard displays the current EA state, virtual stop-loss and take-profit levels, breakeven and trailing status, recovery state, synchronization status, and heartbeat information directly on the chart. By exposing the internal recovery state visually, the Expert Advisor becomes easier to monitor, verify, and troubleshoot while managing active trades.

This article adds trade-state reconciliation and Safe Mode recovery to a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor. The EA continuously validates recovery integrity by comparing the live broker position with the persisted SQLite state and the in-memory runtime state. Detected inconsistencies trigger an automatic transition to Safe Mode, suspending virtual protection, breakeven, and trailing management until the recovery state can be trusted again.

Building on Part 2, the implementation introduces restart-aware breakeven and trailing-stop systems for MetaTrader 5. The EA persists the state, such as breakeven activation, last trailing price, and virtual SL in SQLite, then restores them on startup. This preserves dynamic protection flow and prevents lost progress after terminal interruptions.

Build a restart-aware virtual protection layer on top of the SQLite persistence from Part 1. The EA reconstructs hidden stop-loss and take-profit after restart, verifies current price against recovered exits, and closes or continues positions accordingly. The result is a consistent recovery path that detects managed positions and sustains safe runtime management.

This article demonstrates how to build the persistence foundation of a self-healing Expert Advisor in MQL5 using SQLite. Readers will learn how to create a permanent trade-state storage layer capable of surviving terminal restarts, shutdowns, and unexpected interruptions. The article covers SQLite integration in MetaTrader 5, database lifecycle management, persistent trade-state structures, and runtime state recovery using practical MQL5 implementations.

This article extends the existing Flask backend to compute performance analytics from stored MetaTrader 5 closed trades and deliver them as both JSON and a simple web view. It calculates total trades, total profit, win rate, average profit, and trade duration metrics, returning JSON at /api/v1/analytics/summary and rendering a dashboard at /api/v1. The result provides a quick, consistent way to review trading performance from persisted SQLite records.

This article extends a Flask backend to reliably receive, validate, and store closed trade data from MetaTrader 5 using SQLite and Flask‑SQLAlchemy. It implements required‑field checks, timestamp conversion, transaction‑safe persistence, and working retrieval endpoints for all trades and single records, plus a basic summary. The result is a complete data pipeline with local testing that records trades and exposes them through a structured API for further analysis.

We build a lightweight bridge that captures closed trades in MetaTrader 5 and sends them to an external backend over HTTP as JSON. It uses OnTradeTransaction for event detection, reads details from deal history, assembles a JSON payload, and posts it via WebRequest. A local Flask API is used to test the flow, delivering a working path to move trade data outside the terminal.

We design a simple external trade analytics pipeline for MetaTrader 5 and implement its backend in Python with Flask and SQLite. The article defines the architecture, data model, and versioned API, and shows how to configure the environment, initialize the database, and run the server locally. As a result, you get a clean base to capture closed-trade records from MetaTrader 5 and store them for later analysis.

Build an MQL5 Expert Advisor that automates Larry Williams Hidden Smash Day reversals. It reads confirmed signals from a custom indicator, applies context filters (Supertrend alignment and optional trading‑day rules), and manages risk with stop‑loss models based on smash‑bar structure or ATR and a fixed or risk‑based position size. The result is a reproducible framework ready for testing and extension.

This article develops a practical MQL5 indicator that identifies Hidden Smash Day bars by strict numeric criteria and optional confirmation on the following session. We cover detection routines, buffer registration, and plot configuration to place arrows at valid bars. The approach delivers stable, non-repainting signals for historical testing and real-time monitoring.

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.

This article shows how to automate Larry Williams Smash Day reversal patterns in MQL5 within a structured context. We implement an Expert Advisor that validates setups over a limited window, aligns entries with Supertrend-based trend direction and day-of-week filters, and supports entry on level cross or bar close. The code enforces one position at a time and risk-based or fixed sizing. Step-by-step development, backtesting procedure, and reproducible settings are provided.

We convert Larry Williams’ Smash Day reversal rules into a practical MQL5 indicator that flags confirmed setups with arrows. Step by step, the text shows buffer binding, plot properties, historical mapping, and real‑time updates inside OnCalculate. Adjustable lookback parameters and clean chart rendering help you detect valid reversals quickly while keeping final trade decisions discretionary and context‑driven.

Learn how to build a Supertrend-driven Expert Advisor in MQL5 from the ground up. The article covers embedding the indicator as a resource, reading buffer values on closed bars, detecting confirmed flips, aligning and switching positions, and configuring stop-loss modes and position sizing. It concludes with Strategy Tester setup and reproducible tests, leaving you with a configurable EA and a clear framework for further research and extensions.

We implement Larry Williams’ Smash Day reversal patterns in MQL5 by building a rule-based Expert Advisor with dynamic risk management, breakout confirmation logic, and one trade at a time execution. Readers can backtest, reproduce, and study parameter effects using the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester and the provided source.

Build a non‑repainting Supertrend in MQL5 for MetaTrader 5 from first principles. We use an iATR handle and CopyBuffer for volatility, bind buffers with SetIndexBuffer, and configure plots (DRAWCOLORCANDLES plus two line bands) via PlotIndexSetInteger. The logic updates only on closed bars with EMPTY_VALUE to suppress inactive bands, exposing atrPeriod and atrMultiplier inputs. You get a clean, EA‑ready overlay with documented buffers for strategies and signals.
