What Dark Venus EA is
Dark Venus EA by Dark EAs is a grid, martingale, scalping EA on AUDCAD, AUDNZD, EURGBP, EURUSD (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 Algo, 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 (270 days). Its most telling account shows +16,9 % (+1,7 %/month) at a maximum floating loss of -28,5 %, profit factor 2.67 (Raw Trading Ltd). That is real money, not a polished backtest.
Strategy & risk
The grid, martingale, scalping 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. 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 documented track is from Raw 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 or for anyone who mistakes a smooth backtest curve for a guarantee.
Verdict
Dark Venus EA lands at 3.8/5 — worth a closer look. 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.
