Few trades, big asymmetry

Trend systems lose small and often, and win big occasionally. The advisor is built for that shape and never tries to smooth it with extra trades.

Stops move one way

Structural trailing stops only tighten. A winner can turn into a small loss at worst, never a large one.

The same risk frame as every advisor

Risk per trade from your allocation, daily limit, drawdown pause, news blackout — enforced in software, visible in your portal.

Live results

The statement, not a backtest.

Every number here is computed from the broker statement of the account Kestrel FX runs on. Drawdowns are shown as prominently as returns, because you will live through both.

How to read this

Win rate is deliberately unimpressive: the system loses small and often. Profit factor and drawdown tell you whether the winners pay for that, and how long you wait between equity highs.

Sample figures are placeholders; the section switches to the broker statement automatically on first import.

How it trades

One session, start to finish.

Follows established trends on the majors and trails a structural stop behind price. Never averages down, never adds to a losing position.

H1 close

Trend check

Requires higher highs and lows (or the reverse) across the last twenty hourly bars.

Pullback

Entry

Enters on the first pullback to the moving structure with a stop under the last swing.

Each swing

Trail

Stop steps up behind each new swing low; never loosens.

Exit

Stop hit

The only exit is the trailing stop. No targets, no time exits.

Risk controls

Limits the software enforces, not you.

Every limit below is checked inside the advisor on every tick. Your portal shows each pause and each halving as it happens.

Risk per trade0.75%of your allocation
Daily loss limit2.0%pauses entries for the day
Sizing halves at75%of the daily limit used
Drawdown pause10%from equity peak

Worked example

Risk on one trade (0.75% of allocation)$18.75
Most it can lose in a day (2%)$50
Sizing halves after$37.5 lost
Balance untouched by sizing$7,500

The advisor sizes against the allocation you licensed, never your full balance. Upgrade the allocation when you want more exposure.

Fit

Who it is for — and who it is not.

We would rather you skip this advisor than run it for the wrong reasons.

A good fit if
You can sit through a string of small losses for the occasional large win
You want positions to run for days without you watching
Your broker's swaps on EURUSD and GBPUSD are reasonable
Not for you if
You want a high win rate
You cannot hold over the weekend
You need daily action on the chart
What you need
MetaTrader 5 account at a supported broker (ECN/raw spread recommended)
A Windows VPS or a PC that stays on during the session
One URL allowed in MT5 → Options → Expert Advisors
Capital at or above the minimum, so positions size correctly
Pricing

Priced by allocation. Billed by duration.

Questions

Before you license Kestrel FX.

If your question is not here, ask on WhatsApp — a person answers, usually within two hours.

01Why so few trades?
A trend that is worth following does not appear every day. Forcing trades would add losers without adding winners.
02Do you take my money or my login?
Never. You open the account at your broker and keep the login. The advisor runs inside your own MetaTrader 5 as software; we only see license checks.
03What happens on a bad day?
The daily-loss limit pauses new entries for the rest of the day, and sizing halves once most of the limit is used. Open positions keep their stops. You see every check and every pause in your portal.
04Can I run it on a prop-firm account?
Yes, as long as the firm allows EAs and the account meets the minimum. Turn off news-time trading if the firm requires it; the setting is exposed in the inputs.
05How do updates work?
New builds appear in your portal the day they are released. The advisor tells you on the chart when a newer version exists; old versions keep working until they are retired with notice.
06Can I stop and get a refund?
There is no refund once a license is active on an account, which is why we ask you to check eligibility and read the statement first. Licenses are duration-based; simply don't renew.

See in sixty seconds whether Kestrel FX fits your account.

Country, capital, platform. If it doesn't fit, we say so and point you to the advisor that does — or to none.
