VR Black Box is an automatic trading strategy based on the method of following the price movement. The trading strategy is similar to the “Swing” strategy, if we made a mistake with the purchase, then we enter the sale. An interesting feature of this program is the algorithms for protection against high-risk situations. VR Black Box uses real Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, and can also use virtual levels, while using real levels, the Expert Advisor hides virtual levels. I started working on this trading strategy in 2009. For more than ten years, the VR Black Box Advisor has received a large number of improvements and modifications.

The strategy of making a profit when trading after the price is inherently very simple and is described as follows:

• Is the price going up? We buy with the same volume, set Take Profit and Stop Loss.
• Is the price falling? We sell the same volume, set Take Profit and Stop Loss.
• If the last transaction was closed with a loss, then for the next transaction we will increase the lot to compensate for the loss from the previous transaction and make a profit.

• Algorithm of different operating modes:
• Automatic mode – in this mode, the Expert Advisor works without the participation of a trader, the adviser does all trading operations himself. The task of the trader is simply to control the work of the Expert Advisor.
• Manual mode – this mode allows the trader to open the first position himself and in case of closing the position by stop loss, the Expert Advisor will automatically continue trading in order to compensate for the loss. The manual mode is ideal for novice traders and traders who prefer manual trading. Trading results are significantly improved with the use of manual trading mode.
• The algorithm for choosing the calculation of the lot – When starting the Expert Advisor, the trader can choose to calculate the lot by a percentage of the balance or a fixed permanent lot.
• The algorithm for resetting the lot, if the Expert Advisor calculates a lot more than the trader specified in the settings, the calculated lot will be reduced to the maximum lot specified in the settings.
• The algorithm for increasing the lot in a negative transaction – the trader can specify how many times to increase the next lot.
• An algorithm for hiding virtual Stop Loss and Take Profit levels using real levels.
• The algorithm for accounting for the extended spread.
• The trading algorithm takes into account the appearance of a new period.
• The algorithm of trading on the signals of indicators, including custom ones.
• The algorithm for notifying a trader on a smartphone about trading transactions.
• The algorithm of trading on any financial instruments (Forex, Crypto, CFD, Futures, Metals).
• Other algorithms that increase the efficiency of the Expert Advisor.

When trading in the virtual levels mode, the Expert Advisor sets real inflated Stop Loss and Take Profit levels. In this case, your broker will always see inflated levels, but at the same time, the Expert Advisor always keeps and uses virtual levels with values less than real ones in its memory. Thus, it turns out that the Expert Advisor closes positions at the right time, without waiting for the Stop Loss level and the Take Profit level to trigger.

Important! When testing the program in the strategy tester, consider the following points :

• The best testing is using the program in real conditions. To evaluate the real effectiveness of the application, buy the program for a short period of time and use it on training or micro-accounts.
• The strategy tester built into MetaTrader does not take into account: spread, commission, pings, requotes, the real rate of receipt of ticks, the quality of ticks and other important conditions. The results of profitability or unprofitability obtained in the strategy tester cannot be taken into account!
• Technical support, settings and set files, demo versions of programs can be requested in the author’s profile.
