History of MQL5.community development

We continue enhancing our modular indicator search panel by adding symbol selection capabilities. The implementation allows users to search for built-in indicators, choose a destination symbol, and attach the selected indicator without opening multiple charts or running separate Expert Advisor instances.

This article performs a numerical verification of MQL5 eigendecomposition for a covariance matrix using the spectral theorem A = V Λ Vᵀ. It reconstructs the matrix with Diag(), Transpose(), and MatMul(), computes the residual and its Frobenius norm, and shows that deviations remain at floating‑point precision, with results printed to the Experts journal.

This article benchmarks CUSUM_Breakpoint.mq5 against the Siegmund ARL₀ prediction on live‑like data. The empirical false‑alarm rate is about five times higher than theory for all tested symbols and timeframes, and confirmations show sensitivity to variance changes over mean changes. Practitioners should calibrate h and k on the target instrument's history and apply the signal to manage volatility regimes, not to infer directional shifts.

The article provides a fascinating look at how SwiGLU embedding reveals hidden market patterns, and how a sparse Mixture of Experts within a Decoder-Only Transformer makes forecasts more accurate at reasonable computational cost. We take an in-depth look at the integration of Time‑MoE into MQL5 and OpenCL, and provide a step-by-step guide to configuring and training the model.

The article explores the possibility of launching a terminal with a configuration file to perform automated routine tasks, programmatically handling such launches, and creating a fully-fledged system for auto-optimizing an EA using Windows OS tools.

The article bridges automated placement with manual analysis for the Fibonacci family in MQL5. It scans charts, identifies user Fibonacci objects, and normalizes their level arrays, interaction flags, and visuals per object type while preserving coordinates. With manual-priority enforcement, Expert Advisors can evaluate both human and code-generated tools reliably, without duplicates or runtime indexing issues.

This article builds a white-box classifier in MQL5 using the Tsetlin Machine. It learns human-readable AND-rules instead of weights, trains with integer state updates, and requires no external dependencies. You will assemble the automaton, clause, and multi-class voter, verify on XOR and other boolean tasks, booleanize indicators, label by forward ATR-scaled return, save the model to CSV, and view active rules on a live chart.

The article presents a position sizing engine for MQL5 Expert Advisors that separates risk policy from lot conversion. Four models—fixed fractional, fixed monetary, ATR-based volatility scaling, and equity-curve scaling—share a CLotConverter that uses OrderCalcProfit() to measure real money per point. A unified CPositionSizer interface exposes CalculateLots(), making model changes straightforward while producing broker-compliant volumes across symbols.

The article provides a practical research setup for weekend gap analysis: MQL5 extracts precise pip‑based gaps and tracks fills, while Python performs statistical testing and visualization. You will compute fill rates by gap buckets, model fill probability with logistic regression, and assess time-to-fill via Kaplan–Meier curves. All steps are configurable and reproducible for EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and beyond.

We implement a Future Swing Projection indicator in MQL5 that analyzes historical swing structure and estimates the next move from recent price behavior. It locates six alternating swing points, measures five completed legs, and uses their average distance to project a target five bars ahead. The indicator draws swing legs, a projection line, ATR‑based support and resistance zones, and a label with the projected price to keep the process rule‑based and reproducible.

We extend the supply and demand framework with a strategy layer that converts zone interactions into decisions. Qualified zones pass sequential checks for interaction proximity, approach behavior, higher‑timeframe alignment, and price action before execution is handed to a dedicated trade manager. This architecture improves control, maintainability, and future extensibility without changing the underlying zone engine.

We invite you to explore the practical implementation of a sparse mixture of experts block for time series in the OpenCL computing environment. This article provides a step-by-step explanation of how masked multi-window convolution works, as well as how gradient-based training is organized in the presence of multiple information streams.

A new original population-based algorithm, ECEA, is presented. Inspired by the process of water freezing, it adapts ideas from the Crystal Energy Optimizer (CEO) algorithm, which uses graph-based search, for general optimization problems. The algorithm uses a dynamic elite group, three search strategies, and a periodic diversification mechanism.

The article presents an innovative concept for a multi-timeframe Renko chart that combines signals from four timeframes (M5, M15, H1, H4) into a unified synthetic instrument. The system creates a virtual symbol in MetaTrader 5 by using the EMA of each timeframe to generate a composite signal through three methods: simple average, weighted average, and consensus. The implementation includes ATR-based adaptive brick sizing, real-time operation, and full integration with MetaTrader 5.

This class provides one point of contact for trade operations in MQL5. It rounds and clamps lot sizes, validates SL/TP against the broker's minimum distance, resolves a compatible filling policy, and applies bounded retries for transient retcodes. Calls return a structured CGatewayResult instead of raw retcodes, simplifying error handling and maintenance across strategies.

A hybrid exit engine for MQL5 replaces static TPs with CRT-derived structural levels. The CRT_ProfitConserve class secures a partial at the first level and then trails the remaining position by structural anchors rather than fixed pips. The article walks through the class API, essential methods, and example usage in EAs, providing a clear path to embed CRT-based exits into existing strategies.

We build a tCISD program in MQL5 that pairs Quarterly Theory cycles anchored to New York time with a correlated-symbol SSMT divergence to time reversals. The article shows how to map cycles and quarters, detect the cross-symbol sweep disagreement, and derive the tCISD level whose break confirms the change in delivery. You will get a working entry logic that arms on divergence and executes on a confirmation close or a retest.

The article explores the revolutionary integration of large language models (LLMs) with the MetaTrader 5 trading platform, where AI does not simply predict prices but makes autonomous trading decisions by analyzing market context much like an experienced trader. The author highlights a fundamental difference between LLMs and classical machine learning models such as CatBoost — the ability to engage in metacognition and self-reflection, which allows the system to learn from its own mistakes and improve its strategy.

This article builds the Avellaneda–Stoikov formulas in MQL5, feeds them with rolling estimates of mid-price volatility and a proxy for order-flow intensity, and plots the reservation price with bid and ask in real time. A bar-by-bar simulation contrasts adaptive and fixed quoting under the same fill rules. The result is a tested class, an indicator, and a backtest to improve inventory control in two‑sided strategies.

A modular indicator search system for MetaTrader 5 that replaces manual navigation through built-in indicator categories with a searchable interface. The application integrates an indicator catalog, search engine, chart launcher, and graphical panel, allowing indicators to be located, filtered, and attached to the appropriate chart window from a single interface.

We invite you to explore the modern Time-MoE framework, which has been adapted for time series forecasting tasks. In this article, we will implement the key components of the architecture step by step, providing explanations and practical examples along the way. This approach will allow you not only to understand how the model works, but also to apply those principles to real-world trading scenarios.

Financial management as an ecosystem: Seven AI traders with different personalities and strategies instead of a single algorithm. They compete for capital, learn from their mistakes, and make decisions collectively. The article explains the principles behind the Modern RL Trader system, in which the code possesses consciousness and emotions, creating a living, evolving trading mind.
