OVERVIEW
Kairos Hybrid EA is a fully automated multi-strategy Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, running two strategies at once across 9 instrument slots — 6 session-breakout slots on forex, gold and indices, and 3 multi-day slots on equity indices — all from a single chart.
The two strategies trade different instruments, at different times of day, and hold for different lengths of time, so they rarely depend on the same market conditions.
AT A GLANCE
• Two strategies, 9 instrument slots, one chart
• Running live since April 2026, tracked independently by Myfxbook
• 7.5-year backtest on 100% real tick data: 68 of 90 months green
• Risk set with a single input — Conservative, Standard or Aggressive
• Works on any broker timezone, with no setup
⚠️ This is a trading tool, not a money printer. Expect losing trades and losing months. Trade only what you can afford to lose.
✅ DISCIPLINED DESIGN — No martingale, no grid, no averaging: each slot opens one position and never adds to a loser. Every breakout trade carries a hard stop-loss. Every index position carries a catastrophic stop 5% from entry and a 3-day time exit. Optional account-protection guard (daily-loss / max-drawdown halt).
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
HOW IT WORKS
▶ Strategy 1 — Multi-Instrument Breakout (6 slots)
A breakout strategy operating independently across 6 instruments, each with its own entry, stop-loss and break-even settings, managed within a defined daily window.
▶ Strategy 2 — Multi-Day Index Strategy (3 slots)
A counter-trend strategy on major equity indices, using a structured entry/exit schedule to capture recurring behavioural tendencies, holding up to three days.
🕐 TIMEZONE-INDEPENDENT — the EA measures your broker's time zone from the price data at every weekly open, so it trades the same windows on any broker, in any timezone, through daylight-saving changes, and in the Strategy Tester. No GMT setup needed.

LIVE ACCOUNT
A live account has run the cTrader version of this strategy since 17 April 2026, at a higher risk setting than the Standard preset. Tracked independently by Myfxbook, as of 16 September 2026:
Gain +27.51% · Max drawdown 21.44%
The drawdown came in the account's first two weeks, before it settled; the equity curve has made new highs since. At Standard, both the gains and the swings would be smaller. See the screenshot.

BACKTEST RESULTS
7.5 years | 100% real tick data | IC Markets | $5,000 deposit | 19 Sep 2018 – 1 Mar 2026
Standard preset, default settings
PF 1.12 · Sharpe 1.91 · Max DD 40.2% · 9,229 trades · Win 47.7% · Recovery 4.76
Monthly (90 months): 68 green / 22 red (75.6%) · average +7.7%, median +7.4% · never more than two losing months in a row · every full year of the test profitable
A breakout system wins less often than it loses and makes it back on the size of its winners — hence a win rate just under half alongside a positive expectancy. The monthly average is lifted by a few outsized months, so treat the median as the typical one.
✅ 100% real tick data, spread included · covers the 2020 crash, the 2022 rate cycle and the quiet years between.
✅ One rule set, one settings file, applied unchanged across the whole period.
✅ Reproduce it yourself with the free demo, on your own broker's data — results will differ between brokers.
These are historical backtest results, not live trading. Past performance does not predict future returns.

RISK — WHAT TO EXPECT, AND WHAT CONTROLS IT
Risk is set per position, not per account. Here is what that means in practice, measured from the backtest above.
▶ Strategy 1
• Standard risks 1% of balance per position. Six can be open at once, so if all six trigger and all six stop out on the same day, that day costs about 6%.
• That rarely happens: in the backtest all six were open together on about 3% of trading days, usually split between buys and sells. Strategy 1's worst day was −5.2%.
▶ Strategy 2
• Takes long positions only, on three equity indices. They are correlated, so they move together. At Standard it trades 0.1 lot per $1,500 of balance, so its three positions together can be worth around four times your balance, more when index prices are high.
• Each position carries a 5% catastrophic stop, but a market-wide crash reaches all three at once: its worst day in the backtest was −18%, on 16 March 2020, the sharpest day of the COVID crash.
▶ The whole EA
• Days of −5% or worse came about three or four times a year in the backtest, and the deepest drawdown at Standard was 40%. Recovery factor 4.76 means the test made back about four and a half times that worst drawdown.
• Prefer smaller swings? Conservative halves both strategies. The account guard can also halt new trades at a daily-loss or drawdown limit you choose.

RISK PRESETS — one setting, no set files to install
Preset | Strategy 1 per position | All six stopped same day | Strategy 2 size | Index exposure
Conservative | 0.5% | about 3% | 0.05 lot / $1,500 | about 2x balance
Standard (default)| 1% | about 6% | 0.1 lot / $1,500 | about 4x balance
Aggressive | 1.5% | about 9% | 0.15 lot / $1,500 | about 6x balance
Custom lets you enter your own sizing instead.

REQUIREMENTS & SETUP
• Account type: hedging. Strategy 1 and Strategy 2 can hold US30 or DE40 at the same time.
• Recommended deposit (Standard preset): $5,000 to run the full 9-slot configuration.
Per-strategy account minimums (Standard):
Strategy 1 — Breakout: limited by minimum-lot constraints —
• XAUUSD ≈ $5,000 account
• US30 / DE40 ≈ $2,500 account
• Forex pairs (USDJPY, EURJPY, GBPUSD) work from smaller balances
Below these thresholds, disable the affected slots.
Strategy 2 — Index (DE40, US30, USTEC): ≈ $1,500 minimum, covers all three.
Note: US30 and DE40 appear in both strategies; the figures differ because each strategy sizes them independently. If your broker's minimum lot would exceed the risk you set, the EA skips the trade and prints a risk notice instead of over-risking.
(These thresholds scale with your chosen preset — higher risk needs more buffer, lower risk less. Not sure what fits your account? Ask in the comments and I'll suggest a setup.)
• Attach to ANY single chart — the chart's symbol and timeframe do not affect trading. The EA manages its own instruments and timeframes internally and runs on a 1-second timer. EURUSD is a fine default.
• Broker: IC Markets recommended (ECN, tight spreads, all symbols native). Other low-spread ECN brokers compatible.
• Platform: MetaTrader 5 only (not MT4).
• VPS: strongly recommended for 24/5 uptime. Latency is NOT critical (session and multi-day based) — what matters is staying connected through the session windows.
⚠️ SYMBOL NAMES: each slot has a symbol field, and broker suffixes are detected automatically. If a slot shows "not available" on the dashboard, set that slot's symbol to your broker's exact name (e.g. USTEC may be US100 or NAS100). A mismatched symbol simply skips trading.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP IN THREE STEPS
1. Attach the EA to one chart — any symbol, any timeframe.
2. Choose a risk preset in the first input (Standard is the default), press OK, and enable Algo Trading.
3. Check the Experts tab: the EA prints the preset in use and the broker clock it detected.

NOTES
• Run on demo first to confirm symbols and behaviour before going live.
• For backtesting, use "Every tick based on real ticks". The EA reads the broker clock from the price data, so no timezone setup is needed in the tester.
• The EA runs unrestricted in the Strategy Tester; live and demo use is activated by your MQL5 Market purchase.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER
Backtest performance does not guarantee future results, and the live figures are from a single account over five months. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose. The developer is not liable for any trading losses incurred using this EA.
