History of MQL5.community development

We continue studying the chaotic optimization algorithm. The second part of the article deals with the practical aspects of the algorithm implementation, its testing and conclusions.

This is an improved chaotic optimization algorithm (COA) that combines the effects of chaos with adaptive search mechanisms. The algorithm uses a set of chaotic maps and inertial components to explore the search space. The article reveals the theoretical foundations of chaotic methods of financial optimization.

This article demonstrates how to run DOOM inside MetaTrader 5 by integrating a native Windows DLL with an MQL5 Expert Advisor. We cover building the DLL, real-time framebuffer rendering via ResourceCreate, keyboard input with a key-up workaround using GetAsyncKeyState, and running the game loop on a background thread. The techniques are directly applicable to custom visualization, external data bridges, and robust MQL5–native code integration.

Build a rule-based on-chart risk management panel in MetaTrader 5 using the MQL5 Standard Library. The guide covers a CAppDialog-based GUI, manual event routing, and an automated update loop. You will bind UI events to CTrade to execute conditional closures, show net floating P/L, and read automated targets directly from the chart.
