Kestrel AUDCAD Expert Advisor for MT4: Patient and Active

Patient or Active on AUDCAD

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.

You choose your pairs, then Patient, Active or both for each. 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. Both follow the same rules and close the basket the same way.

On AUDCAD both records are published, and the choice is real. Sixteen years and nine months of record, and the worst day is still 22 October 2012: we added four more years to the AUDCAD record and its worst day did not change.

The two records side by side

Simulated on Dukascopy data at Horizon level, in euros at fixed rates, without swap or commission; the most recent months come from a different data feed:

Measure, backtest 2010 – Sep 2026	AUDCAD Patient	AUDCAD Active
Simulated profit	€34,066	€87,089
Return on recommended capital	+243% of €14,000	+429% of €20,300
Yearly, on that capital	14.6%	25.7%
Deepest fall from an equity peak	€3,676	€4,676
Worst floating loss	−€3,703 on 22 Oct 2012	−€4,699 on 13 Feb 2011
Maximum open lots	13.28	21.86
Positive months	97.5%	97.0%
No stop-out · Standard STP (20%)	€4,100	€5,200
No stop-out · Raw and ECN (50%)	€4,600	€6,000
Recommended capital, Horizon	€14,000	€20,300

A stop-out is the moment a broker closes your positions because the account no longer covers them; the two floor rows are the smallest balances that would have survived the record at the 20% and 50% levels VT Markets publishes for its Standard STP and its Raw and Pro ECN accounts, the broker where our demo accounts run (Help Centre, checked 17 September 2026). They are technical limits, never the capital we advise — the arithmetic lives on Kestrel EA Risk Management and Capital for MT4 Portfolios.

The two recommendations keep the larger of two honest measurements: the trading platform’s own tester sizes these two records above what our simulation engine calculates, so €14,000 and €20,300 stand. Beyond the backtest, the software has run on two demo accounts since September 2026 — a forward test on demo, not a real account.

K3 and K1: AUDCAD with EURUSD

K3 runs AUDCAD Patient next to EURUSD Patient; K1 runs AUDCAD Active next to the same EURUSD variant. The variant you pick for AUDCAD is the whole difference between the two portfolios, and the Full portfolio is the published example that runs both AUDCAD variants at once.

Over the 2010 to September 2026 simulation, K3 returned +268% of its €22,500 recommended capital and K1 +393% of its €28,800 — each recommendation being the two individual ones added up — and their worst days did not fall on the same dates as EURUSD Patient’s. Every mix, with the capital each recommends: Kestrel Pair Combinations: What Fits Your Capital. The EURUSD side: Kestrel EURUSD Expert Advisor for MT4.

The other two offered pairs: Kestrel GBPUSD Expert Advisor for MT4 and Kestrel EURCAD Expert Advisor for MT4.

Each recommendation keeps the larger of two measurements — at least three times the worst case of that record — and Summit and Zenith scale every figure by five and by ten. The calculation: Kestrel EA Risk Management and Capital for MT4 Portfolios.
