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 independent accounts for this EA, the longest over 270 days — details in the accounts table below. Its most telling account shows +29,7 % (+3,0 %/month) at a maximum floating loss of -63,6 %, profit factor 2.72 (Raw Trading Ltd). ⚠ The worst floating loss across accounts is 63.6 % — that is blow-up territory. 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 63.6 % 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 Gratis. 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 (Raw Trading Ltd, MyFX Markets PTY 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 63.6 %, or for anyone who mistakes a smooth backtest curve for a guarantee.
Verdict
Dark Dione EA lands at 3.5/5 — better avoided in its current form. 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.
