EA31337 framework is designed for writing trading robots for MetaTrader 4 and 5 platforms. It can be also used to convert your MQL4 code into MQL5 with minimum code changes.
- About the project
Projects implementing this framework:
- EA31337: Multi-strategy advanced trading robot.
- EA31337-Libre: Multi-strategy trading robot.
- EA31337-strategies: EA strategies.
- EA31337-indicators-other: 3rd party indicators
This framework can be used to convert your MQL4 code to be compatible with both MQL4 and MQL5.

The class for managing the current trading account.
Account *acc = new Account();
double _balance = acc.GetBalance();
double _credit = acc.GetCredit();
double _equity = acc.GetEquity();
double _margin_free = acc.GetMarginFree();
double _margin_used = acc.GetMarginUsed();
if (acc.IsExpertEnabled() && acc.IsTradeAllowed()) {
// Some trade code.
}
delete acc;
double _balance = Account::AccountBalance();
double _credit = Account::AccountCredit();
double _equity = Account::AccountEquity();
double _margin_free = Account::AccountFreeMargin();
double _margin_used = Account::AccountMargin();
if (Account::IsExpertEnabled() && Account::IsTradeAllowed()) {
// Some trade code.
}
Use this class to store the values in form of a collective attributeβvalue pairs, in similar way as associative arrays with a hash table work.
Example of storing key-value data with string as a key:
Dict<string, int> data1;
data1.Set("a", 1);
data1.Set("b", 2);
data1.Set("c", 3);
data1.Unset("c");
Print(data1.GetByKey("a"));
The purpose of Mail
class is to provide common functionality for managing e-mails.
Example sending e-mail on trade execution:
int OnInit() { // @see: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/event_handlers/oninit
Mail *mail = new Mail();
mail.SetSubjectPrefix("Trading");
}
void OnTrade() { // @see: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/event_handlers/ontrade
if (!Terminal::IsRealtime()) {
mail.SendMailExecuteOrder();
}
}
int OnDeinit() { // @see: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/event_handlers/ondeinit
delete mail;
}
The purpose of Indicator
class is to provide common functionality
across all indicators such as storing and searching for values.
This class is used as a base class to handle technical indicator classes
which can be found in Indicators/
folder.
In Indicators/
folder there is collection of indicator classes.
The example reading value from AC
indicator:
#include <EA31337-classes/Indicators/Indi_AC.mqh>
int OnInit() {
Indi_AC ac = new Indi_AC();
PrintFormat("%g", ac.GetValue());
delete ac;
}
The example reading values from Alligator
indicator:
#include <EA31337-classes/Indicators/Indi_Alligator.mqh>
int OnInit() {
AlligatorParams alli_params(13, 8, 8, 5, 5, 3, MODE_SMMA, PRICE_MEDIAN);
Indi_Alligator alli = new Indi_Alligator(alli_params));
AlligatorEntry values = alli.GetEntry(0);
if (alli.GetFlag(INDI_ENTRY_FLAG_IS_VALID)) {
Print("Alligator values: ", values.ToString());
}
delete alli;
}
The purpose of IndicatorData
class is to store indicator data.
It is basically alternative implementation of Indicator
class.
For more details, please read: Class to hold indicator values.
For implementation example, check tests/IndicatorDataTest.mq4
.
The purpose of Profiler
class is to profile functions by measuring its time of execution.
The minimum threshold can be set, so only slow execution can be reported.
Example to measure execution time of function multiple times, then printing the summary of all calls which took 5ms or more.
#include "Profiler.mqh"
void MyFunction() {
PROFILER_START
Sleep(rand()%10);
PROFILER_STOP
}
int OnInit() {
for (uint i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
MyFunction();
}
// Set minimum threshold of 5ms.
PROFILER_SET_MIN(5)
// Print summary of slow executions above 5ms.
PROFILER_PRINT
return (INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
void OnDeinit(const int reason) {
PROFILER_DEINIT
}
Example to measure execution time of function multiple times, then automatically printing all calls which took 5ms or more.
#include "Profiler.mqh"
void MyFunction() {
PROFILER_START
Sleep(rand()%10);
// Automatically prints slow executions.
PROFILER_STOP_PRINT
}
int OnInit() {
// Set minimum threshold of 5ms.
PROFILER_SET_MIN(5);
for (uint i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
MyFunction();
}
return (INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
void OnDeinit(const int reason) {
PROFILER_DEINIT
}
The class to manage the symbol's information.
SymbolInfo *si = new SymbolInfo();
string symbol = si.GetSymbol();
MqlTick tick = si.GetTick()
double ask = si.GetLastAsk();
double bid = si.GetLastBid();
uint spread = si.GetSpread();
Print("MARKET: ", si.ToString());
delete si;
string symbol = SymbolInfo::GetCurrentSymbol();
MqlTick tick = SymbolInfo::GetTick(symbol)
double ask = SymbolInfo::GetAsk(symbol);
double bid = SymbolInfo::GetBid(symbol);
uint spread = SymbolInfo::GetSpread(symbol);
The purpose ofTimer
class is to measure time between starting and stopping points.
Single timer:
#include "Timer.mqh"
Timer *timer = new Timer("mytimer");
timer.Start();
// Some code to measure here.
timer.Stop();
Print("Time (ms): ", timer.GetSum());
timer.PrintSummary();
delete timer;
Multiple measurements:
#include "Timer.mqh"
Timer *timer = new Timer(__FUNCTION__);
for (uint i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
timer.Start();
Sleep(10); // Some code to measure here.
PrintFormat("Current time elapsed before stop (%d/5): %d", i + 1, timer.GetTime());
timer.Stop();
PrintFormat("Current time elapsed after stop (%d/5): %d", i + 1, timer.GetTime(i));
}
timer.PrintSummary();
delete timer;
