History of MQL5.community development

The article discusses the non-parametric HSIC (Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion) statistical test designed to identify linear and non-linear dependencies in data. Implementations of two algorithms for calculating HSIC in the MQL5 language are proposed: the exact permutation test and the gamma approximation. The method efficiency is demonstrated on synthetic data modeling a non-linear relationship between features and the target variable.

This article presents an EA that automates the previously introduced Market Entropy methodology. It computes fast and slow entropy, momentum, and compression states, validates signals, and executes orders with SL/TP and optional position reversal. The result is a practical, configurable tool that applies information-theoretic signals without manual interpretation.

In this article, we explore the butterfly curve, a parametric mathematical equation, and render it visually on a MQL5 canvas. We build an interactive display with a draggable, resizable canvas window, supersampled curve rendering, gradient backgrounds, and a color-segmented legend. By the end, we have a fully functional visual tool that plots the butterfly curve directly on the MetaTrader 5 chart.

Time series forecasting in trading has evolved from traditional statistical models (like ARIMA) to deep learning approaches, but both require heavy tuning and training. Inspired by advances in NLP, Google’s TimesFM introduces a pretrained “foundation model” for time series that can perform strong forecasts even without task-specific training. For traders, this is powerful because it can be efficiently fine-tuned on their own data using lightweight methods like LoRA, reducing overfitting while adapting to changing market conditions.

This article builds the user interface layer of an Account Audit System in MQL5 using CChartObject classes. We construct an on-chart dashboard that displays key metrics such as start/end balance, net profit, total trades, wins/losses, win rate, withdrawals, and a star-based performance rating. A menu button lets you show or hide the panel and restores one-click trading, delivering a clean, usable foundation for the broader audit pipeline.

Build a local, bidirectional voice interface for MetaTrader 5 using MQL5 WebRequest and two Python services. The article implements offline speech recognition with Vosk, wake‑word detection, an HTTP command endpoint, and a text‑to‑speech server on localhost. You will wire an Expert Advisor that fetches commands, executes trades, and returns spoken confirmations for hands‑free operation.

Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are a powerful class of probabilistic models designed to analyze sequential data, where observed events depend on some sequence of unobserved (hidden) states that form a Markov process. The main assumptions of HMM include the Markov property for hidden states, meaning that the probability of transition to the next state depends only on the current state, and the independence of observations given knowledge of the current hidden state.

This article explores the practical application of L1 trend filtering in MetaTrader 5, covering both its mathematical foundations and usage in MQL5 programs. The L1 filter enables extraction of piecewise-linear trends that preserve essential market structure while reducing price noise. The study analyzes parameter scaling, trend estimation behavior, and integration of the method into algorithmic trading strategies. Experimental results demonstrate how L1 trend filtering can enhance signal stability, trade timing, and overall robustness of trading systems.
