MQL5 Tutorials for Smart Money Concepts

Long-form, code-first tutorials for building market-structure indicators and Expert Advisors in MetaTrader 5. Every guide explains the data model, the algorithm, the edge cases and the test cases — not just a code snippet.

How this tutorial section is organised

This is a SILO, not a blog feed. The pillar page explains the complete SMC engine. Each cluster hub covers one technical area and links to focused implementation articles. Tools in SMC Lab provide interactive checks for the same concepts.

Concept: what the market-structure object means.
Algorithm: exact loop, array and state requirements.
Code: copy-paste MQL5 fragments with context.
Edge cases: repainting, missing bars, HTF readiness and object limits.
Tests: deterministic fixtures you can reproduce.

Start with the pillar guide, then move to the Market Structure cluster.
