Red Hawk Review: Does It Win or Lose?

Rad Hawk is an expert advisor that was published almost a year ago on MQL5. The system executes an unknown strategy on a demo account. So, in any case, the developer loses nothing even if the system fails. The growth chart shows that the robot doesn’t trade smoothly and predictably. 

What is Red Hawk?

The advisor works unstable, allowing significant losses to happen. We are not sure that this is a safe trading solution.

• We can trade on the nine cross pairs at once: EUR/AUD, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, EUR/GBP, AUD/CAD, AUD/JPY, USD/CHF, EUR/CHF, and USD/CAD.
• The main time frame is short – M5. 
• An ECN account is the must option to be profitable. 

• The developer suggests we use IC Markets or Alpari broker houses. IC Markets has a good reputation among other broker houses.
• The account should have at least $250. 

Official Red Hawk website

Wim Schrynemakers, the developer of Red Hawk, is from Malta. On MQL5 we see that he has over eight years of trading and robot design experience. Wim has 21 products in his portfolio and over 3K of friends on MQL5. 

The Red Hawk presentation doesn’t look professional and informative enough. The developer should have written it in a better way. 

How can we use Red Hawk?

We have some details and little pieces of advice given. 

• The system works automatically for us. We have to do nothing in addition. 
• We can use it on both MT4 and MT5 versions.
• It works with “a mean reversion trading system that trades during the quiet times of the market.” This period is between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.
• We may use a VPS service to execute orders quickly – 4xhosing.
• The system knows how to close orders with profits instead of drawdowns. 
• We can rely on SL and TP levels. 
• It doesn’t work with Grid with Martingale.
• A well-designed filter to avoid high slippage and high spread periods is provided.
• We may trade with Lots fixed.
• The system includes dynamic lot-sizing based on the account balance. 
• We may set various risks for various symbols. 

Pricing & refund

The pricing goes down from $349 to $299. We have three subscriptions. A one-month subscription costs $110, a three-month –  $199, and an annual – $249. There’s a button to download a system for free. The site doesn’t allow refunding.

The system from time to time is warned by the MQL bot.
