Verdict

Grid/martingale EA on 5 markets, stop logic not checked individually. Own live account in our EA park, weakest point risk control: 5.8 out of 10.

Night Hawk by DaVinci FX Group is an Asian-session grid for MT4 on five crosses such as AUDCAD and EURGBP. Its design is a martingale basket without a hard stop-loss, so a long trend against the basket is the main risk.

Suits you if …

  • Yes: you set an account stop and stick to it
  • Yes: your account has room for several averaging steps with rising lots
  • Caution: you run no second grid EA on the same markets
  • No: not for prop challenges with a daily loss limit
  • Caution: you set setfile and risk yourself, without ATS calibration

How the strategy trades

Schematic · no market dataSchematic of the Martingale strategy type: it explains the process, not the outcome. No prices, no real market data, no performance of Night Hawk EA.

Example · closed

How it works

  1. As with the grid, a position is added every 20 pips – but with a ×2 multiplier: 0.10 → 0.20 → 0.40 → 0.80 lots.
  2. The big positions drag the average down, close to the lowest entry.
  3. That is why a small bounce is already enough to profit. The catch: volume doubles at every level and the floating loss grows even faster – one level too many, and a single basket wipes out the gains of many before it.

What we check

What we check on real martingale EAs: the multiplier, the maximum number of levels and the volume at the last level relative to the account. A smooth equity curve is not a quality signal here.

Schematic with demonstration values: a simulated price path without prices, results in pips weighted to 0.10 lots, deliberately favourable. Not this EA’s market or settings, not a backtest and not investment advice.

Design & risk

Night Hawk EA by DaVinci FX Group is a Grid, Martingale EA on AUDCAD, GBPAUD, GBPCAD, NZDCAD (MT4), sold directly by the vendor. When price runs against the basket, the EA adds further positions, each larger than the last. All positions close together once the average is in profit. That gives a calm curve while the market ranges; a trend that runs through takes back many small wins at once. Whether there is a hard stop per position we have not checked individually. You buy the vendor default; risk frame and setfile are up to you.

Stop logic not checked individually

If a trend runs out of the range, the open loss grows with every step, and every step is larger than the last. Whether the EA sets a hard stop per position we have not checked individually. Set an account stop, for example with an external drawdown guard.

Rather without a grid? The best-graded EAs without one, wherever they are sold:

The full review

What Night Hawk Is

Night Hawk by the DaVinci FX Group is an Asian-session EA for MT4 that has been sold since around 2019 — directly through the vendor's website, not the MQL5 market. Entries come from Bollinger Bands and CCI, after which an ATR-based grid with rising lots builds the basket; four exit filters, a news filter and a pair filter are meant to limit drawdowns. The vendor himself calls it a "modified martingale".

What is unusual is how the evidence is handled: the vendor runs a real account that is published in parallel on several monitoring platforms (MQL5 signal, Myfxbook, SignalStart, FX Blue). That lets you check the advertised claims yourself against the same account from several sources.

How to Read the Track Yourself

On a grid, the drawdown figure on the sales page says little until you know how it was calculated. A basket that holds open losses until the market comes back shows hardly any drawdown by balance — the risk sits in the drawdown by equity, i.e. in the floating losses. Anyone checking Night Hawk should therefore:

  • compare the public account's equity drawdown with the advertised figure, on several platforms, because each calculates differently
  • set percentage total returns against deposits and withdrawals — on accounts with many cash movements, percentages can diverge sharply from the absolute development
  • watch the lot progression within a basket: if lots rise, the martingale component is active

What that means for copiers is explained in our guide to grid and martingale EAs.

Cost & Usability

$275 one-time (previously $199) with lifetime updates; payment via PayPal or WebMoney, delivery by e-mail against the MT4 account number, no refunds. The money management picks lots by deposit — and exactly that automation is where you should intervene manually on a martingale basket: smaller than the vendor suggests. MT4 only; an ECN broker with tight cross spreads is a prerequisite (EA broker comparison).

Who It Is (Not) For

Broadly suited to traders who deliberately run an Asian-session grid on smaller lots than the vendor intends, plan for deep drawdowns and treat the EA as a small building block in an EA portfolio.

Not suited to prop-firm accounts with drawdown limits, to anyone who takes the vendor's drawdown figure as a planning number without checking it, or to MT5 users (there is no version).

Summary

Night Hawk is a grid EA with a martingale basket on cross pairs in the Asian session, cheaply priced and with a vendor account that is publicly monitored on several platforms. The design carries the familiar risk of any grid without a hard stop: if the basket does not come back in a long countertrend, the floating loss is realised. How deep that can go is shown by the public account's equity drawdown, not by the advertised figure. Night Hawk is not available at our partner AlgoTradingSpace. We still grade it with the same formula as every other EA, but we do not link to the vendor.

What you need to run it

For and against

In favour

  • The vendor discloses a real account that is tracked in parallel on several independent monitoring platforms
  • Cheap ($275 one-time), built-in money management, news and pair filters
  • On the market since around 2019 and still maintained, lifetime updates included

Against

  • Martingale basket without a hard stop-loss: a long trend against the basket is the main risk
  • The drawdown figure on the sales page is well below what independent recalculations of the public account show
  • The automatic money management picks lots by deposit — on a martingale basket that is exactly the critical setting
  • MT4 only, delivery by e-mail against the account number, no refunds

Buying and running

Our interests: We earn no commission on Night Hawk EA and link neither the vendor nor MQL5. ATS pays us a commission when you buy through the link to the alternatives. We develop our own EA, Dawnbreak. We have no stake in Night Hawk EA. The grade is set beforehand and independently of that.

Frequently asked questions

Which markets does Night Hawk EA trade?

AUDCAD, GBPAUD, GBPCAD, NZDCAD, EURGBP. Several instruments only spread risk while they do not share a driver — correlated pairs go down together when it matters.

Which platform does Night Hawk EA run on?

MT4. MT4 only — if your broker is MT5-exclusive you cannot run this EA. Continuous operation needs a VPS, because a sleeping machine leaves open positions unattended: VPS providers compared.

What does Night Hawk EA cost?

275 $ (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.

Does Night Hawk EA use grid or martingale?

Yes — the design is Grid + Martingale. 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.

How good is Night Hawk EA?

Our grade: 5.8 out of 10. It comes from six criteria: risk control, verifiability, transparency, value for money, usability and broker independence. The sub-grades come from our written review; criteria, weights and caps are the same for every EA, whoever sells it, and no EA vendor pays for ratings. The full calculation with every threshold is in our methodology.

Is there a verified live track for Night Hawk EA?

Yes. We run the EA on a real-money account in our own EA park and measure its trades separately from other EAs. That is the strongest evidence, because no seller chooses what we see. We deliberately do not show returns or drawdowns: past figures tempt buyers more than they inform them.

Changes to this review

  1. Second review by an AI agent (different model, blind): 2 of 6 criteria agree. Differences:
  2. Nachweisbarkeit: Zweitprüfung 5,6, unsere Bewertung 8,4. Es gibt ein öffentlich einsehbares Live-Konto des Anbieters, das auf mehreren Monitoring-Diensten gespiegelt wird, jedoch nur bei einem Broker und mit begrenzter Historie sowie offenbar nur einer Teilmenge der Trades.
  3. Transparenz: Zweitprüfung 7,2, unsere Bewertung 5,6. Bauart, Einstiegs- und Filterlogik, zentrale Risiken sowie die Bedeutung von Equity-Drawdowns werden vergleichsweise offen beschrieben, während vollständige Parameter- und Kontodetails nicht umfassend belegt sind.
  4. Preis-Leistung: Zweitprüfung 8,0, unsere Bewertung 6,8. Der Einmalpreis einschließlich dauerhafter Updates ist für einen kommerziellen EA moderat, wird aber durch die fehlende Rückgabemöglichkeit und das hohe Konstruktionsrisiko relativiert.
  5. Broker-Unabhängigkeit: Zweitprüfung 3,6, unsere Bewertung 6,8. Ein belegter Betrieb liegt nur bei einem Broker vor; die Bindung an MT4 sowie die Voraussetzung enger Cross-Spreads begrenzen die nachgewiesene Broker-Unabhängigkeit.
