VR Black Box – Swing Strategy

Review

The VR Black Box trading system is a powerful tool based on strictly following price movements. The program analyzes price fluctuations: when the price rises, the advisor is focused on buying a financial asset, and if Stop Loss is triggered, it changes the direction of trading to sell. The entire process is carried out automatically, without the participation of the trader.

One of the key features of VR Black Box is the ability to mask the true exit points from trades from real Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, which is especially important when working with unscrupulous brokers. This allows you to significantly increase trading efficiency.

The development of the trading robot was carried out over several years in real trading conditions. Constant updates, the introduction of new ideas and the use of trading indicators have turned VR Black Box into a unique and reliable algorithm that can impress both new and experienced traders. To evaluate the capabilities of the advisor, it is enough to install it on a demo account and observe the results for several days or weeks.

Algorithm of operation

When developing trading systems, the understanding inevitably comes that some of them are more resistant to market changes than others. With the accumulation of experience and knowledge, it is possible to improve each system. When creating the VR Black Box advisor, I sought to minimize risks and maximize profitability, using all my experience and knowledge. Although this system has not become the “Holy Grail” and still contains certain risks, at the moment it is one of the most stable.

• Early versions of the advisor used static Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, which limited the possibilities of reducing losses. The latest version added the function of pulling up the Stop Loss level following the current price, which made it possible to significantly reduce losses and increase profits when reaching the Take Profit goal. In addition, the following algorithms were introduced:
• Real and virtual trading modes. In real mode, the advisor sets real Take Profit and Stop Loss levels, which are recorded on the broker's server. The virtual mode involves setting increased real levels, and positions are closed forcibly several points earlier. This mode is useful if you do not want to disclose your closing levels to your broker.
• Price tracking algorithm (Trailing Stop), which allows you to move the loss fixation level following the price movement. This helps to significantly reduce losses and increase profits.
• Control over the spread size, which prevents trading operations at times of high volatility and significant spread widening.

For those who prefer manual trading, an advisor can be configured to transform losing trades into a positive state.

Monitoring of the work of the adviser is updated twice a day at 09 00 and 21 00 GMT +3

Recommendations

• If you plan to use the strategy tester to analyze the performance of the VR Black Box advisor, it is recommended to disable in the settings all elements related to the display of information on the chart. This will speed up the testing process and the results will be shown in the top left corner.
• The first test execution may take some time due to loading and synchronization of data on the financial instrument.
• To carry out tests, it is best to use the MetaTrader 5 terminal, since its strategy tester is much more powerful and efficient. Please note that development and updating of the MetaTrader 4 platform was stopped several years ago.
• It is important to consider the following when testing a program:
• The most reliable way to test the effectiveness of an advisor is to use it in real conditions. For an objective assessment, purchase a license for a short period and test the application on a demo or micro account.
• Strategy testers built into MetaTrader do not take into account factors such as spreads, commissions, delays (ping), requests for quotes (requotes), the actual speed of receipt of tick data and their quality. Therefore, the results obtained in testers cannot be considered accurate indicators of profitability or unprofitability.
