1. What's in your package

Your download Forex-Kitty-v1.20.zip contains:

Forex-Kitty.ex5 — the Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5
SetFiles/ — 6 calibrated configurations (5 pairs + a $5,000 EUR/USD starter)
Forex-Kitty-Guide.pdf — this manual

2. Requirements

MetaTrader 5 with a hedging account (not netting — Forex-Kitty holds BUY and SELL positions at the same time).
A broker offering the traded pairs at or below the EA's MaxSpread (30 points default).
A VPS is strongly recommended for uninterrupted 24/5 operation.
Internet access from the terminal for the hourly license check.

3. Install the Expert Advisor

In MetaTrader 5, open File → Open Data Folder.
Copy Forex-Kitty.ex5 into MQL5\Experts\.
Right-click Navigator → Expert Advisors → Refresh.

4. Allow the license server (one-time, mandatory)

Forex-Kitty verifies your license once per hour. You must allow its URL, or it cannot confirm the licence.

Open Tools → Options → Expert Advisors.
Tick "Allow WebRequest for listed URL".
Add exactly: https://kitty-ea.net
Click OK.

The license is bound to your account number, not to a key you type in. You register your MT5 account number(s) once in your Customer Area — see below.

5. Register your trading account

Log in to your Customer Area.
Under a license, enter the MT5 account number and select Live or Demo.

A single license covers 1 live + 5 demo accounts; the 5-pack covers 5 live + 20 demo. The broker is locked to an account on first use for security.

6. Load a currency pair

Each pair has its own calibrated set file with a unique magic number, so you can run several pairs in parallel from one terminal.

Pair	Set file	Grid distance	Magic	Suggested deposit
EUR/USD	ForexKitty-EURUSD-10K.set	150 pts	260724	10,000
EUR/USD (starter)	ForexKitty-EURUSD-5K.set	150 pts	260724	5,000
EUR/GBP	ForexKitty-EURGBP-10K.set	150 pts	260725	10,000
NZD/CAD	ForexKitty-NZDCAD-15K.set	100 pts	260726	15,000
USD/CHF	ForexKitty-USDCHF-10K.set	50 pts	260727	10,000
EUR/CAD	ForexKitty-EURCAD-15K.set	50 pts	260728	15,000

New in v1.20

Forex-Kitty now ships with a third entry engine, the EMA25 return opener: it starts new cycles during calm drift phases when neither the sniper pullback nor the Bollinger re-entry fires, entering in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend once price returns to its EMA25 base line. The range-entry RSI levels moved from 40/60 to 45/55. In the full 2024–2026 real-tick backtest this raised net profit while slightly lowering the maximum drawdown. A new $5,000 EUR/USD starter configuration (0.01 lot grid) is included as ForexKitty-EURUSD-5K.set.

Open the pair's chart and drag Forex-Kitty onto it.
On the Inputs tab click Load and pick the matching set file.
On Common, enable "Allow Algo Trading", click OK.
Make sure the toolbar Algo Trading button is green.

The suggested deposit is per pair and matches our published back-tests. Trading with less increases risk considerably.

Testing first? No license is required to run Forex-Kitty in the MetaTrader Strategy Tester. The license check is skipped entirely there, so you can back-test all pairs and set files freely before registering a live account.

7. How it trades

An ADX gatekeeper on M15 sets the regime: in a trend it waits for EMA-fan pullbacks with rejection candles; in a range it trades Bollinger re-entries confirmed by RSI. Positions are managed as a basket with a volume-weighted take-profit, an escape mode when the trend breaks, and a waterfall reduction where the best winner pays off the worst loser. Grid additions always require a fresh signal. From a set drawdown threshold a Money Pot sets aside realised profits and spends them to pay down the position furthest from price in the smallest tradable steps — balance-neutral, using the account’s own winnings.

By design, Forex-Kitty uses no stop-loss. Risk is managed through grid density, the waterfall reduction, the Money Pot and the optional hedge module — a deliberate strategy choice you should understand before trading live.
