All trading is automated, without trader's participation. This Expert Advisor can masterfully hide the actual closing prices from the real Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, which significantly affects trading profitability if the broker uses shady schemes.

When developing trading systems, anyhow, you notice that certain types of trading systems are more survivable than others. Over time, experience and knowledge of each trading system are accumulated. While working on the VR Black Box, Expert Advisor, I tried to minimize risks and maximize profits. I applied all my experience and knowledge to achieve positive results. Of course, this Expert Advisor didn't become «Holy Grail» and still carries risks, but it is one of the most stable Expert Advisors at the moment.The first versions of the Expert Advisor used static Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, which didn't allow you to reduce the loss. I added the function of pulling up the Stop Loss price following the current price in this latest version. This allowed you to greatly reduce the loss and increase the profitability when closing a position at Take Profit. The following algorithms were also implemented:
- Trading in real and virtual mode. In the case of using the real mode, the Expert Advisor sets real Take Profit and Stop Loss, all values are fixed on the broker server side. In the case of using virtual levels, the program algorithm sets real increased Take Profit and Stop Loss levels, while each position is force closed a few points earlier. The virtual trading mode will be useful if you don't want to show the broker the levels at which the market position will be closed.
- The price tracking algorithm allows you to move the loss fixation level following the price (Trailing Stop). Such algorithm allows to greatly reduce losses and increase profits. The spread size control allows you to limit trading operations at the moment of high volatility and large spread expansion.
- For traders who trade in manual mode, it's possible to configure the Expert Advisor for bringing losing transactions to a positive result.
- If you still decided to use the strategy tester for studying the VR Black Box Expert Advisor operation, disable everything related to the information display on the chart in the settings. This allows you to significantly increase the test rate, while the result of the Expert Advisor operation will be shown in the top left corner.
- The first launch of the Expert Advisor in the strategy tester may take some time, the reason for this is the loading and synchronizing the financial instrument history.
- Use the version of the MetaTrader 5 terminal for tests, because its tester is much more powerful and of higher quality. Developing and updating the MetaTrader 4 terminal were stopped several years ago.
Important! When testing the program in the strategy tester, please keep the following points in mind:
- The best testing is to use the program under real conditions. To evaluate the real effectiveness of the application, please buy the program for a short time and use it on demo accounts or micro-accounts.
- The strategy tester built into MetaTrader does not take into account the following: financial instrument, trading period, spread, leverage, commission, ping, requotes, real tick receipt rate, tick quality and other conditions.
- The profitability and loss results obtained with the strategy tester should not be taken into account!
4/5 – is the designation of settings dependent on the number of decimal places. By default, all settings are specified for 5-digit brokers.
