What Dark Dione EA is
Dark Dione EA by Dark EAs is a grid, trend-following EA on CHFJPY, EURUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD (MT4/MT5), sold via AlgoTradingSpace. We classify it independently — by strategy risk, verified live track, transparency and value, not by vendor promises.
Live results & track record
AlgoTradingSpace documents 2 public accounts for this EA, the longest over 271 days — details in the accounts table below. Its most telling account shows null at a maximum floating loss of null (MyFX Markets PTY Ltd.). That is real money, not a polished backtest.
Strategy & risk
The grid, 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 48.4 % 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 Free. Via AlgoTradingSpace you get a setfile, onboarding and support — the EA doesn't have to run blind on the vendor default. The published accounts run across several brokers (MyFX Markets PTY Ltd, Raw Trading Ltd), which argues against broker dependence.
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. Not suitable for small accounts without a buffer, given the floating loss of up to 48.4 %, or for anyone who mistakes a smooth backtest curve for a guarantee.
Verdict
Dark Dione EA lands at 3.7/5 — better avoided in its current form. The verified ATS live track is the strongest argument.
Drawdown profile
How deep did this EA go under water? We deliberately plot drawdown and not an equity curve: a backtest curve always ends in the top right, but drawdown decides whether an account survives. Every bar comes from a real account, none from a backtest.
How the strategy trades
A schematic simulation of the strategy type we assign Dark Dione EA to — not a replica of this EA and not real price data.
How it works
- The EA buys and lays a grid below: one more position every 20 pips, always 0.10 lots.
- All positions share one target just above the average price.
- Because they are all the same size, the average sits exactly in the middle: halfway back is break-even, and 5 pips above that the whole basket closes in profit.
- What the animation does not show: if price keeps running against the basket, the floating loss grows with every level – without a stop there is no built-in exit.
What we check
What we check on real grid EAs: the maximum floating loss on the live account, not the closed drawdown – and whether there is a hard stop for the whole basket.
Demonstration values: a simulated EURUSD path with 0.10 lots and $10,000 starting capital, deliberately favourable – every basket and every trend works out here. Not a real trading strategy, not a backtest and not investment advice.
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.

Frequently asked questions
- Which markets does Dark Dione EA trade?
CHFJPY, EURUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD, XAGUSD. Several instruments only spread risk while they do not share a driver — correlated pairs go down together when it matters.
- Which platform does Dark Dione EA run on?
MT4/MT5. Continuous operation needs a VPS, because a sleeping machine leaves open positions unattended: VPS providers compared.
- What does Dark Dione EA cost?
Free (as of our last check). We take prices from the vendor, ATS or MQL5 product page, not from marketing copy — that often quotes different figures than the buy button.
- How large is Dark Dione EA's drawdown?
Across the accounts we see for this EA the largest decline is 48.4%. That is the figure to size positions against, not the calm average. Where we hold further accounts or a longer vendor track, their numbers are above in the review: position sizing and risk per trade.
- Does Dark Dione EA use grid or martingale?
Yes — the design is Grid + Trend-Following. That means further orders are added when price runs against an open position, and there is usually no hard per-trade stop-loss. Such systems stay quiet for a long time and then take the loss all at once. How that works and how to spot the dangerous variant is in our guide to grid and martingale EAs.
- Is Dark Dione EA any good?
Our grade: 3.7 out of 5, traffic light red — avoid. It comes from six criteria, weighted most heavily towards the verified live track record and strategy risk. We rate from real accounts, not vendor backtests, and no EA vendor pays for ratings — the weighting is public in our methodology.
- Is there a verified live track for Dark Dione EA?
Yes. Published live accounts exist, the longest running 271 days. The figures in this review come from those accounts, not from vendor backtests.
