Kestrel Account Recovery EA for MT4

How a basket recovers

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.

That is what recovery means here. Not rescuing trades you opened yourself, and not doubling into a loss: holding a measured basket until the pair comes back. Like the kestrel that hangs still in the wind, it waits, holds the exposure inside a measured worst case, and closes once.

How long the worst basket stayed open

In the EURUSD Patient record (2010 to September 2026, simulated on Dukascopy data), half of the baskets closed in just over an hour. The longest ran 34.4 days, from 10 July to 13 August 2013, and the longest stretch without a new equity high was 35 days.

What recovery costs at its worst

Measure	EURUSD Patient, 2010 – Sep 2026 (simulated)
Worst floating loss	−€2,788 on 21 August 2024
Deepest fall below the equity peak	€2,788
Worst case (basis of the capital table)	€2,788
Recommended capital, Horizon	€8,500

Euros at fixed rates, Horizon level, no swap or commission included. Beyond the backtest, the software has run on two demo accounts since September 2026 — a forward test on demo, not a real account.

The same measures for every portfolio, each with its date, are on Is Kestrel a Safe Expert Advisor? Drawdown and Worst Float.

What you choose

• Pairs: choose your pairs — 1 to 4 of EURUSD, GBPUSD, EURCAD and AUDCAD — then Patient, Active or both for each, one set file per chart. 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.
• Published portfolios: K3 (AUDCAD Patient + EURUSD Patient), K1 (AUDCAD Active + EURUSD Patient) and Full portfolio (all three). All four pairs are published in both variants, and every mix carries its figures on Kestrel Pair Combinations: What Fits Your Capital.
• Level by recommended capital: Horizon €999, Summit €4,999 or Zenith €9,999 per year, VAT included.

Choose your level

From here it is five steps: choose your pairs, then Patient, Active or both for each, choose the level whose recommended capital fits your account, buy the annual licence, install on your MT4 on a VPS and load one set file per chart, then follow the record. Every licence includes the EA for MetaTrader 4, the set files of the four pairs (Patient and Active) at your level, free updates while the licence is active, a private Telegram group for clients and email support at info@gridexpertadvisor.com. The full price table is on Kestrel Forex Robot Price and Licence Levels.

Level	Starting lot	Capital we recommend
Horizon	0.01	€8,500 to €42,800, by record
Summit	×5	€42,500 to €214,000
Zenith	×10	€85,000 to €428,000

Same rules at every level; only the size changes, and the capital moves by the same factor as the lot.
