Strategy Notes on Grid Expert Advisors

Strategy explained

Four notes take one mechanism each — grid, martingale, mean reversion and hedging — and follow it from the textbook description to what it actually did in a simulation of the strategy’s own orders from 2010 onwards, on Dukascopy data.

They share one rule: every figure carries the period and the feed it came from in the same sentence, and the worst episode sits on the same page as the gains.

For investors

The last two notes are for someone who wants the result without learning to trade. One covers running the software on an account you own; the other compares that with copying a signal.

Both start from the same fact. Kestrel is software: you keep your account, your broker and your money, and nobody at Daemon Digital LLC can move funds.

How Kestrel applies this

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 acts, the software waits, holds and closes once. The products are on Kestrel Expert Advisors for MT4.
