What Dark Algo EA is
Dark Algo EA by Dark EAs is a grid, martingale, scalping, trend-following EA on EURUSD, GBPUSD (MT4/MT5), sold via AlgoTradingSpace. We classify it independently — by strategy risk, verified live track, transparency and value, not by vendor promises. AlgoTradingSpace also runs it in a portfolio with Dark Titan, Dark Nova — inside a basket correlation matters, not just standalone performance.
Live results & track record
AlgoTradingSpace runs one public, calibrated real-money account for it (224 days). Its most telling account shows +20,6 % (+2,6 %/month) at a maximum floating loss of -33,6 %, profit factor 3.41 (Capital Point Trading Ltd). That is real money, not a polished backtest.
Strategy & risk
The grid, martingale, scalping, trend-following approach sets the risk profile. Grid/martingale systems often show a suspiciously straight equity curve — losses are absorbed by averaging in until one trend blows up the basket. A too-smooth curve here is a warning sign, not a seal of quality. The measured floating loss of up to 33.6 % underlines that — only run with a buffer. What AlgoTradingSpace adds is calibration with a fixed risk cap instead of the aggressive vendor default — exactly the ceiling a grid without a hard stop-loss needs.
Cost & usability
Price sits at 100–500 €. Via AlgoTradingSpace you get a setfile, onboarding and support — the EA doesn't have to run blind on the vendor default. The documented track is from Capital Point Trading Ltd.
Who it is (not) for
Suitable for traders who accept a documented live track and run the EA calibrated via ATS (with a risk cap) and budget it as *one* building block, minding correlation in a portfolio. Not suitable for small accounts without a buffer, given the floating loss of up to 33.6 %, or for anyone who mistakes a smooth backtest curve for a guarantee.
Verdict
Dark Algo EA lands at 3.6/5 — with reservations. The verified ATS live track is the strongest argument.
Verified live / funded accounts
Real accounts AlgoTradingSpace publicly links for this EA (Myfxbook-fed). Max floating loss is the most honest risk figure — how deep open positions ran into the red at their worst.
