Kestrel EURUSD Expert Advisor for MT4

What Kestrel does on EURUSD

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 EURUSD both variants are published, and the choice is real: the two records below are the same rules on the same pair, at two appetites for activity.

The two EURUSD records, 2010 to September 2026

Simulated on Dukascopy data at Horizon level, in euros at fixed rates, without swap or commission; the 2026 months come from a different data feed:

Measure, backtest 2010 – Sep 2026	EURUSD Patient	EURUSD Active
Simulated profit	€26,228	€44,232
Return on recommended capital	+309% of €8,500	+297% of €14,900
Yearly, on that capital	18.5%	17.8%
Deepest fall from an equity peak	€2,788	€4,927
Worst floating loss	−€2,788 on 21 Aug 2024	−€4,946 on 18 May 2017
Maximum open lots	5.46	14.95
Positive months	93.0%	93.0%
No stop-out · Standard STP (20%)	€3,000 21 Aug 2024	€5,400 18 May 2017
No stop-out · Raw and ECN (50%)	€3,400 21 Aug 2024	€6,100 18 May 2017
Recommended capital, Horizon	€8,500	€14,900

Patient held €2,788 against the account at its worst, on 21 August 2024, and we recommend €8,500 for it. Active returned more and held €4,946 against the account, on 18 May 2017; we recommend €14,900. Same rules, same basket close — the difference is how much of your capital the worst day asks for.

The two floor columns are the smallest balances that would have survived the record at a broker stop-out of 20% and 50% of margin level — the 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 is on Kestrel EA Risk Management and Capital for MT4 Portfolios.

Each recommendation is three times the worst case of its record, and both records closed 17 positive years out of 17. Beyond the backtest, the software has run on two demo accounts since September 2026 — a forward test on demo, not a real account.

How to combine EURUSD with other pairs

EURUSD Patient sits in every published portfolio: in K3 next to AUDCAD Patient, in K1 next to AUDCAD Active, and in the Full portfolio with both. The pairing is backed by the data — over the full record to September 2026 the daily worst floats of EURUSD Patient and AUDCAD Patient correlated at 0.005, and their ten worst days never coincided. Every combination, with the capital each one recommends: Kestrel Pair Combinations: What Fits Your Capital.

The other two offered pairs: Kestrel GBPUSD Expert Advisor for MT4 and Kestrel EURCAD Expert Advisor for MT4, both published with their own windows.

Choose your level for EURUSD

Level	Starting lot	Recommended: Patient	Recommended: Active	Price per year, VAT included
Horizon	0.01	€8,500	€14,900	€999
Summit	0.05	€42,500	€74,500	€4,999
Zenith	0.10	€85,000	€149,000	€9,999

Each recommendation is three times the worst case of that record, and at the worst moment, with the recommended capital at 1:500 leverage, the margin level would have read 523% on Patient and 333% on Active. The method: Kestrel EA Risk Management and Capital for MT4 Portfolios.
