Specnaz Advisor

The habit of complicating the trading process, as well as being skeptical of simple solutions, are among the most destructive qualities of a trader that prevent you from making money in the financial markets.
At first glance, it may seem that the principles of price movement defy any logical explanation, but as practice shows, this statement is erroneous.

Very often, the simplest approaches, in the effectiveness of which almost no one believes, actually turn out to work.

An example was the strategy of Alexander Kononov, which is now better known by the name “Special Forces”. Actually, in this article we will look at the advisor for the famous “Special Forces” strategy.

Advisor Specnaz is an indicator-free trading expert based on the famous “Spetsnaz” strategy.

It is worth noting that a number of auxiliary filters were introduced into the Specnaz expert, which made it possible to use the robot on all currency pairs, and not as required strategy by default, purely on Euro/dollar. The advisor can trade on absolutely any time frame, since orders are placed according to the time patterns of price movement, so there is simply no connection to a specific time frame and features of the chart movement.

The operating principle of the Expert Advisor resembles a typical grid robot, which demonstrates high efficiency in both narrow and wide sideways trends (flat), while long-term non-recoil trend movements are extremely undesirable for him.

Installing the Specnaz advisor

Until recently, the Spetsnaz strategy was the property of only select traders who paid a lot of money for seminars to its creators.

However, the world is not without good people, so not only was the strategy actively disseminated on various forums, but there were also developers who automated it and posted it completely free of charge in the official MT4 library.

Thus, the Specnaz advisor can be installed in two ways, namely according to the standard scheme through the data directory, or through the built-in library.

To install the advisor through the library, launch your MT4 trading terminal and move to the panel called “Terminal”, where the current balance information is located.

Then the next step is to move to the “Library” tab and do a simple sorting so that only advisors appear in the list.

In the sorted list, find the advisor called Specnaz and load it using the additional menu, as shown in the image below:

 
If installing the advisor through the library is not possible, you can use the standard installation scheme through the data directory. To do this, go to the end of the article and download the advisor file.

Then drop the file into the appropriate folder in your data directory, namely a folder called Expert.

In order for Specnaz to appear in the list of advisors, regardless of the installation method, you need to restart the trading terminal or update it in the navigator panel.

After the update, the advisor is ready for use, and in order for it to start trading, drag the name of the robot onto any time frame of the Euro/Dollar currency pair.

Specnaz advisor strategy. Settings

The Specnaz advisor is based on the simplest strategy without an indicator with elements of order locking.

So at 8-00 Moscow time, the robot simultaneously opens two counter positions to buy and sell simultaneously, the profit of which is 20 points.

If one of the orders is closed in profit, the advisor opens an additional new order in the direction of profit, thus collecting the entire volume of movement, while the second order hangs in the minus.

The next day at 8:00 am, two counter orders are reopened with the same volume, which allows you to average the loss on the previous negative transaction and make a profit from the second position.


So in the Lots variable you can set the position volume, and in the Take Profit variable you can specify the profit size (by default for five-digit quotes) for two counter orders.

The flat variable allows you to set a limit on the trend wave in points, so that the advisor does not lose your deposit during strong, protracted trends.

Testing

As an experiment, we traditionally, based on the developer’s recommendations, optimized and tested the advisor on history.

Testing and optimization took place during the first half of 2018 on the Euro/Dollar currency pair. The test result is shown below:


In conclusion, it is worth noting that sometimes the simplest trading strategies have no less potential for profitability than complex algorithms.

However, it must be clearly understood that Specnaz does not use a stop order, but averages its losses with a huge number of orders, which can lead to a complete draining the deposit.
