Kestrel Expert Advisor for Brokers and Introducing Brokers

What a broker gets

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.

Like the kestrel that hangs still in the wind before it strikes, it waits, holds and closes the basket once.

The client you bring chooses one to four pairs — EURUSD, GBPUSD, EURCAD and AUDCAD — then Patient, Active or both for each, and a level by recommended capital: Horizon €999, Summit €4,999 or Zenith €9,999 per year, VAT included. 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.

The licence includes the expert advisor, the set files of the four pairs at the level licenced, updates while it is active, a private Telegram group for clients and email support. Its risk figures come printed next to the gains.

Lots per year by level

An introducing broker commission is paid on volume. Lots one Horizon account traded per year in the simulations, on Dukascopy data:

Portfolio	Lots a year, Horizon	Period
EURUSD Patient	34	2010 – Sep 2026
EURUSD Active	42	2010 – Sep 2026
GBPUSD Patient	25	2010–2025
GBPUSD Active	43	2010–2025
EURCAD Patient	34	2014–2025
EURCAD Active	35	2014–2025
AUDCAD Patient	49	2010 – Sep 2026
AUDCAD Active	86	2010 – Sep 2026
K3 (AUDCAD Patient + EURUSD Patient)	83	2010 – Sep 2026
K1 (AUDCAD Active + EURUSD Patient)	120	2010 – Sep 2026
Full portfolio (EURUSD Patient + AUDCAD Patient + AUDCAD Active)	169	2010 – Sep 2026

Summit multiplies the starting lot by five and Zenith by ten, so 34 lots become 170 and 340 in the same simulation. A client running all eight published records trades about 348 lots a year at Horizon, about 1,740 at Summit and about 3,480 at Zenith — simulated, each record on its own window.

Rebates published across the industry run from 2 to 10 dollars a lot: at 5 dollars, one Horizon EURUSD Patient account comes to about 170 dollars a year and one Zenith account to about 1,700. Sector figures, not an offer; the lots are simulated.

The risk side comes with it: K1 floated −€4,701 against the account on 14 February 2011 and fell €4,650 from an equity peak at its deepest (2010 to September 2026, simulated, euros at fixed rates), which is why we recommend €28,800 for it — the recommendations of its two records added up. Method and capital per level: Kestrel EA Risk Management and Capital for MT4 Portfolios.

How a partnership starts

The public version of this model already runs elsewhere. In March 2026, Algo Trading Space and BlackBull Markets announced that a trader opening an account with at least 2,000 dollars receives a first-tier expert advisor licence, and from 5,000 dollars a second tier, with the cost covered by the commission structure rather than charged to the trader.

Our side has the same shape: a licence funded by the broker from a minimum deposit, plus a share of the introducing commission for the intermediary. Horizon is funded from a $2,000 deposit, Summit from $10,000 and Zenith from $25,000; the introducing commission is split 50/50 between Daemon Digital LLC and the broker or intermediary.

Your clients then follow the same five steps as any buyer: choose pairs and variant, choose the level whose recommended capital fits the account, buy the annual licence, install on MetaTrader 4 on a VPS with the set file, and follow the record.

What we never do

Kestrel is software. You keep your account, your broker and your money; we never manage funds, and a partnership never moves client money through us. The code is not white labelled.

Sites and channels without a broker relationship go to the Kestrel Expert Advisor Affiliate Program instead, and the allocation side of the business is Kestrel Expert Advisor for Money Managers: MAM and PAMM.
