Three Little Birds is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 4 that trades in cycles using a grid, optional martingale steps and a hedge. It does not place a conventional stop-loss. When a cycle moves against it, the EA opens the opposite side to stop the floating loss from growing and then waits for a way to close the whole basket.
The EA combines three approaches, and you can use all of them or only some:
There is no single exit. The EA layers take-profit, trailing stops on individual orders, trailing drawdown on the equity of the whole basket, Force Close, break-even and a smart close for hedged cycles. Trailing can close a good move earlier than you might prefer.
The EA works on H4, which filters out much of the short-term noise but makes cycles slower. A cycle can stay open for days. The default settings are intended for gold, silver, Bitcoin, crude oil, the US dollar index, the Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices, and a few large stocks. Other symbols can run, but they need testing first. Brokers use different symbol names, so confirm in the Experts tab that the EA has picked up your instrument.
Exact values depend on the symbol, so review the input list in the EA before you run it. The main groups are:
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Debug | Off by default. Turn it on to see detailed messages in the Experts tab during tests. |
| Grid and hedge | Step sizes, lot multipliers and the number of orders. Review these against your balance. |
| Exits | Take-profit, trailing, basket trailing drawdown, break-even and Force Close. |
| Margin filters | Margin level filters for Grid, Brute Force and Boom. |
| Limits | Session, daily, weekly and monthly limits and a drawdown limiter. All are off until you enable them. |
| Guardian Mode | Manages manual trades on the same symbol. Turn it off to leave them alone. |
| Telegram | Reports with chart screenshots. You need your own bot. |
Chart buttons cover most manual actions, including a button for sending a Boom trade.
Grid, martingale and hedging can use a large amount of margin when the market stays against a cycle, and Brute Force can add size close to a reversal. Spread, execution and broker conditions all change the outcome. The author suggests a balance of 10,000 USD or more, so confirm the current figure on the product page.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose part or all of your capital. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Test on demo first and check whether your broker or prop firm allows hedging and martingale.
Start in the Strategy Tester with your broker's symbol and your own dates, then move to a demo account, then a cent account, before considering a standard account.

No. This listing is for MetaTrader 4 only. It will not load in MetaTrader 5, so check that your broker offers an MT4 account before you buy.
The EA works on the H4 timeframe and its defaults are set for gold, silver, Bitcoin, oil, the US dollar index, the main US indices and a few stocks. Other symbols can run, but test them first. Brokers name symbols differently, so confirm in the Experts tab that the EA has recognised yours.
The author states a minimum balance of 10,000 USD, and more if you use Double EA mode, which needs a separate balance for each chart. Grid, martingale and hedging can use a lot of margin when the market stays against the cycle. Check the current product page for the latest guidance and test with your own lot sizes.
Yes. Run it in the MT4 Strategy Tester on your broker's symbol and your own date range, with visual mode on and the Debug input set to true. After that, move to a demo account, then a cent account with the same lots, before considering a standard account. Double EA mode cannot be backtested and should only be forward tested on demo or cent accounts.
Check your firm's rules first. Some prop firms do not allow hedging or martingale, and this EA uses both in its default approach.
If Guardian Mode is on, the EA manages every manual trade you open on the same symbol as if it were its own. Turn Guardian Mode off if you want a manual trade left alone.
