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.

Computer vision for trading: how it works and how to develop it step by step. We create an algorithm for recognition of RGB images of price charts using the attention mechanism and a bidirectional LSTM layer. As a result, we obtain a working model for forecasting the EURUSD price with the accuracy of up to 55% in the validation section.

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.
