If you have been an algorithmic-trader for a while, chances are high you've heard about Neural Networks. It always seems like they are a way forward to make holy grails trading robots, about this I'm not that sure because it takes more than just adding neural networks to a trading bot to end up with a profitable system. Not to mention you need to understand what you are getting yourself into when using neural networks because even smaller details could ...
In the previous article entitled Creating an EA that works automatically (Part 04): Manual triggers (I) I have shown how, with a bit of programming, to send market orders and to place pending orders using a combination of keys and mouse. Well, to make the use of our EA in the manual mode more comfortable, we need to do a few things. This work is simple and easy for programmers, so we can get straight to the point. Namely, we will create lines ...
In the previous article "Creating an EA that works automatically (Part 03): New functions" we finished covering the orders system. If you haven't read it or do not completely understand its contents, I suggest that you go back to that article. Here we will no longer discuss the order system. We will proceed to other things, in particular, to triggers. more...
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is framework that allows users to write programs to execute across CPU (Central Processing Unit), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or dedicated accelerator device with benefit that it can speed up heavy computation required as per problem domain. MetaTrader 5 supports OpenCL version 1.2. It has several built-in functions that users can take benefit in using of out-of-box. ...
In the previous articles of the series Revisiting geometry and Smart neural network optimization, I shared my observations and experiments with neural networks. Besides, I carried out the optimization of the resulting EAs and provided some explanations of their work. Despite all this, I barely touched the subject of the practical application of the obtained results. In this article, I will fix this unfortunate omission. I will show the ...
