New MetaTrader 5 Platform build 2755: Popup Prices window and Debugger improvements
The MetaTrader 5 platform update released on Friday, January the 15th, 2021. The new version features the following changes:
1. Terminal: Revised Popup Prices window which allows viewing financial symbol prices on any screen size.
The window now supports multi-column presentation, enabling the efficient utilization of screen space. To switch the display mode, use the window properties dialog.
Further improvements in this window are as follows:
- Added column selection menu. The menu features the same symbol properties which are available in Market Watch.
- Optimized operation with a large number of financial instruments. The window performance is now equally high for 10 and for 1000 instruments.
- Added display of brief instrument information in a tooltip.
- Fixed applying of color settings for displaying rising and falling prices.
2. Terminal: Added display of deals on the tick chart of the synthetic Market Depth.
Synthetic Market Depth is used for the symbols, for which Level 2 prices are not provided. In this case, levels are built automatically, at distances equal to a price change step, starting from the best Bid and Ask prices. Now, if the last deal price
and volume data is provided for a symbol, the relevant data is displayed on the tick chart. The information is displayed as circles:
- Red circles show Sell transactions.
- Blue circles show Buy transactions.
- Green circles appear when the direction of the transaction is undefined.
The larger the circle, the greater the volume of the transaction.
3. Terminal: Fixed calculation of Greeks in the options board. An error could occur if the option's underlying asset had a zero last deal price.
4. Terminal: We continue implementing the new "Subscriptions" service, which enables the provision of additional trading services. Recently, we have fixed the display of dependent subscriptions. Such subscriptions are used for bundled services.
5. Terminal: Improved platform operation under Wine.
6. MQL5: Added generation of ChartEvent events upon the release of the right and middle mouse buttons. This event can be utilized when creating graphical panels. To enable the events, disable the chart context menu via the
CHART_CONTEXT_MENU property.
7. MQL5: Fixed a bug causing a significant error in the Sleep function waiting time.
8. MetaEditor: We have initiated the global update of the debugger. The window of observed expressions has been significantly improved. Now, it allows viewing the contents of arrays and objects as drop-down lists, as well as pointer values.
To view an array or object, double-click on it in the observation window.
9. MetaEditor: Fixed freezing when opening some projects.
10. Documentation has been updated.
The update will be available through the Live Update system.

Positioning of MQL5 Services showcases in the main working area and updated design
MetaTrader 5 platform beta build 2920: Positioning of MQL5 Services showcases in the main working area and updated design
Quote:
MQL5: We continue limiting the circulation of older technologies, including 32-bit components.
- 32-bit terminals are no longer allowed to load programs from the Market.
- 32-bit terminals cannot connect to the hosting service.
- The 32-bit MetaEditor version does not support additional file protection via MQL5 Cloud Protector.
- MQL5 programs compiled under old MetaEditor versions (released 5 years ago or more) cannot run in the new terminal version.
Support for the 32-bit platform version was
discontinued a year ago, after the release of build 2361. We strongly recommend upgrading to the 64-bit MetaTrader 5 version in order to access all the platform's features without any limitation.
Furthermore, we recommend all Sellers, who have previously uploaded 32-bit product versions to the Market, to recompile them using the latest 64-bit MetaEditor and to upload the new versions. The ability to run 32-bit MQL5 programs in terminals will be completely disabled soon.

Population optimization algorithms
Quote:
When optimizing trading systems, the most exciting things are metaheuristic optimization algorithms. They do not require knowledge of the formula of the function being optimized. Population algorithms involve the simultaneous handling of several options for solving the optimization problem and represent an alternative to classical algorithms based on motion trajectories whose search area has only one candidate evolving when solving the problem.

Develop a Proof-of-Concept DLL with C++ multi-threading support for MetaTrader 5 on Linux
Attachment 46905
Quote:
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 that MQL5 programming language alone cannot offer, then they will have to spend more time and effort in seeking for solution of cross-compilation, discovery of gotchas and best practices, getting familiar with the tools, etc.
Those are the reasons that come into this article.

Population optimization algorithms: Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA)
Quote:
Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) was proposed by E. Rashedi to solve the optimization problem, especially non-linear problems, following the principles of Newton's law of gravitation. In the proposed algorithm, particles are considered as objects and their performance is estimated taking into account their masses.

Population optimization algorithms: Saplings Sowing and Growing up (SSG)
Attachment 47034
Quote:
There are many optimization methods inspired by processes occurring in nature, such as evolutionary computation, artificial immunology, population methods and others. SSG is basically defined as iterative generation and combination processes working with a garden of potential solutions called seedlings. The Saplings Sowing and Growing (SSG) algorithm was proposed by A. Karci with co-authors in 2002. The algorithm is inspired by the evolution of growing trees and models the growth and branching of trees.

Building Your First Glass-box Model Using Python And MQL5
Quote:
Glass-box algorithms are machine learning algorithms that are fully transparent and inherently intelligible. They defy conventional wisdom that there is a tradeoff between prediction accuracy and interpretability in Machine Learning because they offer an unparalleled level of accuracy and transparency. This means they are exponentially easier to debug, maintain, and improve upon iteration when compared to their black-box alternatives that we are more familiar with. Black-box models are all machine learning models whose inner workings are complex and not easily interpretable. These models can represent high dimensional and non-linear relationships which aren't easily understood by us as humans.
