Check out the new article: Example of Stochastic Optimization and Optimal Control.

This Expert Advisor, named SMOC (likely standing for Stochastic Model Optimal Control), is a simple example of an advanced algorithmic trading system for MetaTrader 5. It uses a combination of technical indicators, model predictive control, and dynamic risk management to make trading decisions. The EA incorporates adaptive parameters, volatility-based position sizing, and trend analysis to optimize its performance across varying market conditions.

Stochastic modeling is used to describe systems with random elements, such as stock market price movements or a queue at a restaurant. It is based on random variables, probability distributions, and stochastic processes. Methods such as Monte Carlo and Markov chains can model these processes and predict their behavior.

Control optimization helps you find better solutions for controlling systems. It is used to automate and improve the operation of various processes, from driving cars to operating chemical plants. Basic methods include linear quadratic controller, model predictive control, and reinforcement learning. Stochastic control optimization combines both approaches and is applied to problems where decisions must be made in the absence of complete information about the future, for example, in investments or supply chain management.
