Linux has a vibrant development ecosystem and a good ergonomic for software development. Normally MetaTrader 5 developers just use MQL5 programming language to develop their indicators/experts or related products then publish on the market to end-users without any concern about which OS to base on. But when developers need to involve developing a custom solution as a shared library (DLL) to further expand and provide additional services ...
The cuckoo is a fascinating bird, not only because of its singing, but also because of its aggressive breeding strategy, which consists in laying eggs into nests of other birds. Cuckoo search is one of the latest nature-inspired heuristic algorithms developed by Yang and Deb in 2009. It is based on the parasitism of some cuckoo species. This algorithm has been further improved by so-called Levy flights rather than simple isotropic random walk methods. ...
Since recently, MetaTrader 5 features a new program type known as a service. According to the developer, services allow users to create custom price feeds for the terminal, i.e. to implement price delivery from external systems in real time, just like it is implemented on brokers' trade servers. This is not the only feature of services. In this article, I will consider the nuances of working ...
Ridge regression is the method of estimating the coefficients of multiple-regression models in scenarios where the independent variables are highly correlated. The method provides improved efficiency in parameters estimation problems in exchange for a tolerable amount of bias meanwhile Lasso (Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) is a regression analysis method that performs both variable selection and regularization to enhance the prediction ...
The gray wolf algorithm is a metaheuristic stochastic swarm intelligence algorithm developed in 2014. Its idea is based on the gray wolf pack hunting model. There are four types of wolves: alpha, beta, delta and omega. Alpha has the most "weight" in decision making and managing the pack. Next come the beta and the delta, which obey the alpha and have power over the rest of the wolves. The omega wolf always obeys the rest of the dominant wolves. ...
