The updated MT5 custom indicator, "wd.Multi_ClockPrice lite!" serves to supply a visual display of MT5 terminal server time and bid price on charts. Designed for continuous synchronization with PC time, it maintains accurate updates even during periods of MT5 going offline. The OnTimer() event function enables steady clock display, which is unaffected by tick prices.

A key feature of this indicator includes 'server clock & bid price' labels placement in user-specified Sub-Window. Users can place them on the main chart or sub-window and adjust label distances as required. For placements on main chart, '0' should be input in 'Sub-Window placement' properties. For placements in a Sub-Window input '1, 2, 3', etc. The attachment of the indicator “wd.Multi_SubWindow” is necessary for this function.

Synchronization between MT5 terminal and server time display might necessitate occasional a...

A deeper look into the dimensions of Neural Networks: An in-depth exploration of Restrictive Boltzmann Machines (RBMs). As simple as their structure may be, these networks are acclaimed for revealing hidden attributes and aspects in datasets.

RMBs use a two-layered approach comprising, typically, of a visible layer and a hidden layer, where every neuron in the visible layer connects to each neuron in the hidden layer – a method known as the positive phase.

Moreover, implementing the negative phase, RBMs strive to restore the input data to its initial state. An additional phase follows each cycle, adjusting the weights to bring the reconstructed output closer to the input data. The ultimate goal is to reach neuron weights that, when applied to input data, reveal intuitive neuron values in the hidden layer, also referred to as the probability distribution of the input data.

The core logic for initiating a trade is executed through a specific function. It calculates the opening price alongside take-profit and stop-loss levels by referring to symbol information and parameters given by the user. Primary details such as symbol, volume, deviation, order type, magic number, etc., are prepared in a trade request, more formally known as MqlTradeRequest.

A function called OrderSend is invoked to send this request and then obtain the result.

Another critical function to consider is the SetTypeFillingBySymbol function. This function is responsible for identifying the order fill type. It can be Fill or Kill, Immediate or Cancel, or Return, and the selection depends upon the policy of the symbol's filling.

The GetMinTradeLevel function has its significance as it calculates the minimum trading level. It keeps in mind the freeze level and symbol stops level in th...

Progressing in our journey of creating a Modified Grid-Hedge EA, the focus turns to the classic grid strategy. Lay aside the optimization of the classic hedge strategy for a moment and concentrate on automating the grid strategy using an Expert Advisor (EA).

This strategy commences with a buy position at a specific price and then scans for price increments or drops. Profit turns real when the take-profit level is hit. However, when the price lessens, the classic grid strategy provides a cover to ensure profits.

The price's decrease of a set quantity prompts another buy order, located at the initial price minus the set amount. Here, the lot size gets inflated, applying a lot size multiplier. These actions spark off two possibilities: an upward price movement that generates gains or a downward slide that calls for repetition of the process.

The golden moment arrives when the net pro...

Monoidal groups, concepts derived from category theory, offer insightful perspectives on decision-making points in algorithmic trading. Unlike the expansion viewpoint adopted in the examination of monoid actions, this exploration reverts to previously defined, restricted monoids, highlighting the conceptual utility of these structures. By considering monoidal groups, we examine the aspect of re-evaluating the identity elements in the context of trading decision points.

Monoids represent a pool from which a trader can select decision options. This pool becomes increasingly diverse through the use of monoid actions, which served to increase the scale of potential choices. Yet, when considering monoid groups, the focus shifts from expansion to transformation, as we reassess the same pool choice.
