Recent evaluations have highlighted performance and accuracy issues with the standard API functions ChartXYToTimePrice and ChartTimePriceToXY. ChartXYToTimePrice fails to function correctly when X and Y parameters fall outside the visible chart window, defaulting to zero values. Additionally, ChartTimePriceToXY experiences inaccuracies in certain scenarios. Both functions exhibit slow performance.

To address these issues, a revised script demonstrates improved accuracy across all parameter ranges. It utilizes a method where X and Y coordinates are translated to time and price and then reverted back. Accuracy is validated if input coordinates match the output. A discrepancy indicates functional errors, notating the issue during execution. The script concludes by reporting the final outcome, remaining silent if functionality is assured.

The Liquidity Sweep on Break of Structure (BoS) system builds upon the inverse fair value gap concepts developed in previous articles, leveraging MetaQuotes Language 5 (MQL5) for enhanced functionality. The BoS strategy combines swing point identification with liquidity sweeps for detecting trend changes.

The system identifies swing highs and lows over a defined length, differentiating between higher highs (HH) and lower lows (LL) to set the BoS trend. A liquidity sweep is marked when prices wick beyond a swing but close inside on a directional candle, prompting potential reversals. The strategy executes trades on detected sweeps in accordance with the trend, with dynamic stop levels, trade limits, and pattern visualization.

Implementation in MQL5 involves creating a comprehensive program with dynamic inputs, ensuring readability, and implementing ...

In the latest installment of the MQL5 series, the focus shifts towards developing a more advanced project involving the Binance API and MetaTrader 5. Having previously covered the basics such as retrieving 5 daily BTCUSDT candle data, this segment will focus on extracting and processing data from the last 10 thirty-minute candles.

Initially, MQL5 scripts will leverage the OnTick event to efficiently request new data without exceeding API limits. Data from server responses will be parsed into structured arrays categorizing open, high, low, and close prices. Following extraction, string data undergoes conversion into appropriate datetime and double formats.

This structured approach ensures precision in data handling, facilitating the development of custom indicators capable of visualizing real-time market data efficiently.

In modern user interfaces, resizing elements with the mouse is essential. Implementing this feature requires a well-architected approach, typically using the MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework. In the MVC paradigm, the View component handles the visual and interactive aspects of resizing. It tracks mouse movements, determines cursor placement on element boundaries, and displays tooltips indicating resizing directions. The Controller processes events and updates the Model if necessary.

For TableView controls in applications, resizing enhances data adaptability, readability, and creates dynamic interfaces. Implementing resizing involves refining base classes and creating graphical tooltips. By enhancing the Base and Control classes, this functionality becomes integral to modern interface components. This structured approach ensures responsiveness and effective u...

Improving library classes involves handling changes in graphical object properties across multiple charts and simplifying event tracking with a custom indicator. We can control standard graphical object properties in the chart window using an event model. Events are handled via the OnChartEvent() handler, which simplifies code and resolves property filling issues upon object creation. However, events from other charts don't directly reach the primary chart's OnChartEvent(). To overcome this, custom events via EventChartCustom() are sent to the primary chart.

This process involves assigning event IDs and transferring them with chart IDs using the lparam parameter, while the object name is sent through the sparam parameter. Thus, events from all charts can be managed by a program on a single chart. The CChartObjectsControl class helps manage event con...
