Kestrel Expert Advisors for MT4

One Kestrel expert advisor, seen from the angle you arrived with: by currency pair, by strategy or by licence level. Pick the page that matches how you think; each carries its own figures, with the date, feed and period in the same sentence.

Kestrel EA is a grid expert advisor for MetaTrader 4: it opens from its own signal, adds to the basket in small, capped steps when price moves against it, and closes the whole basket together at its target. It never closes a single trade at a loss; until the basket closes, the loss is floating.

Choose by pair

Four pairs — pick one to four, then Patient, Active or both for each:

Kestrel EURUSD Expert Advisor for MT4 — two published records, Patient and Active, 2010 to September 2026.
Kestrel AUDCAD Expert Advisor for MT4: Patient and Active — two variants, two records to September 2026; the worst day is still 22 October 2012.
Kestrel GBPUSD Expert Advisor for MT4 — two records, 2010–2025, and a cold-start test on every hour of them.
Kestrel EURCAD Expert Advisor for MT4 — two records, 2014–2025, with the reason for the shorter window on the page.

Or choose by what you can put in: Kestrel Pair Combinations: What Fits Your Capital.

Patient adds to a basket less often and holds a smaller worst case; Active adds more often, returned more in the backtest and reached a larger worst case. Same rules, same basket close.

Choose by strategy

Choose by level

Horizon (0.01 starting lot) €999 a year, Summit (×5) €4,999, Zenith (×10) €9,999, VAT included. Same rules at every level; only the size changes, and each level carries its own recommended capital per portfolio. The tables are on Kestrel Forex Robot Price and Licence Levels.

The record behind every page

Eleven simulated records sit behind those pages: the four pairs in Patient and Active, each on its own window, plus the K3, K1 and Full portfolios. The family’s worst floating loss was −€6,165 on 4 March 2016, in the Full portfolio at fixed exchange rates, printed next to the gains. The full drawdown-by-date record is on Is Kestrel a Safe Expert Advisor? Drawdown and Worst Float. Every combination, with the capital each recommends: Kestrel Pair Combinations: What Fits Your Capital. Two demo accounts have run the software since September 2026 — a forward test on demo, not a real account.

Frequently asked questions

Which currency pairs are covered by a record?

Kestrel is offered for EURUSD, GBPUSD, EURCAD and AUDCAD: choose your pairs, one to four in the account, then Patient, Active or both for each. Published records cover all four pairs in both variants, plus the K3, K1 and Full portfolios.

What is the difference between the K1 and K3 portfolios?

K3 combines AUDCAD Patient with EURUSD Patient and carries a €22,500 recommended capital at Horizon level, the two individual recommendations added up. K1 combines AUDCAD Active with the same EURUSD variant and carries €28,800.

What do Horizon, Summit and Zenith change?

The starting lot: 0.01, 0.05 and 0.10. The rules are identical at every level, so each recommended capital is the Horizon figure multiplied by five and by ten.
