Verdict

Grid/martingale EA on AUDCAD, no hard stop. Own live account in our EA park, weakest point risk control: 6.0 out of 10.

ToTheMoon by Daniel Moraes Da Silva is an AUDCAD grid with martingale averaging for MT4/MT5. Risk is mainly set by the chosen preset, which makes it a trap for beginners. $600, or rent from $100 a month.

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 ToTheMoon.

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

ToTheMoon by Daniel Moraes Da Silva is a Grid, Martingale EA on AUDCAD (MT4/MT5), sold on the MQL5 market. 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. There is no hard stop per position. You buy the vendor default; risk frame and setfile are up to you.

No hard stop per trade

If a trend runs out of the range, the open loss grows with every step, and every step is larger than the last. 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 ToTheMoon Is

ToTheMoon by Daniel Moraes Da Silva (MQL5 market, $600, separate MT4 twin) is a grid system with martingale averaging on AUDCAD M5: when price moves against the position, the EA adds with rising lots, seeks the average price and closes in partial orders on the way back. There is no classic stop-loss; the vendor calls his drawdown management "Smart Stop Loss". The robot was released on the market in May 2023 (version 3.6 from May 2026), has its own website, and per our research the vendor already works on a profit-share basis — unusual for an MQL5 seller.

The Vendor Signals and the Preset Question

The vendor publishes signals for many of his presets — and leaves up the ones that went badly. That is rare in this niche: you can see how differently the same robot runs depending on the set file, if you look. Next to cautious variants such as "NoPain" and "NoFear" there are aggressive presets such as MinorForce, MajorForce, RetireNow, TriForce, EasyGoal or UpHill, whose drawdowns are many times higher; at least one has practically wiped out an account.

The lesson: this EA's risk is not a product property but a preset decision. Load the wrong set file and you are not running "ToTheMoon with a bit more risk" but a system that has demonstrably wiped out an account.

Design and Risk

The design itself — grid with rising lots, no hard stop — remains, even on a cautious preset, what our guide to grid and martingale EAs describes: a calm curve until the trend break. AUDCAD is historically a benign pair for that; it is no guarantee for the future.

If you want to check ToTheMoon yourself, start with the free demo, look up the vendor signal for the preset you chose and watch equity drawdown and lot escalation there, not the balance.

Cost & Usability

$600 to buy is a lot for a single-pair grid; renting from $100/month and the free demo are the better entry. Requirements: hedging account, leverage above 1:100, USD account preferred, $600 (NoStress) to $1,200 (NoPain) minimum deposit — a substantial buffer above that makes sense. Operation is preset work: load the preset and do not touch it, and pick one of the cautious ones such as NoPain or NoFear. An ECN broker with a tight AUDCAD spread is mandatory (EA broker comparison).

Who the Design Suits (and Who It Doesn't)

Suits traders who want to run an AUDCAD grid, stick strictly to a cautious preset, bring capital well above the minimum deposit and treat the EA as a small building block in an EA portfolio — not next to Waka Waka or other AUD/CAD grids, because the baskets then sit underwater simultaneously.

Does not suit prop-firm accounts, beginners asked to choose between many presets, or anyone who mistakes "Smart Stop Loss" for a stop-loss.

Assessment

ToTheMoon is a transparently documented AUDCAD grid with a vendor who does not hide his failures — and with a design that can wipe out an account on the wrong preset. Anyone running it chooses the preset deliberately, stays small and watches equity, not balance.

ToTheMoon is not available from our partner AlgoTradingSpace (ATS). 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

  • Broker with low spreads on AUDCADRaw or ECN account, no EA restrictionsrequired
  • VPS close to the brokerGrid baskets must not be left open unattendedrequired
  • Set up an account stopMaximum loss at which everything is closedset it up yourself
  • Do not combine with other grid EAs on the same marketsSame markets, same logic, the risk adds upavoid

For and against

In favour

  • Vendor transparency at a rare level: public signals for many presets, including the ones that went badly — nothing is hidden
  • Cautious presets (NoPain, NoFear) alongside aggressive ones — risk can be steered through the choice
  • Rent from $100/month and a free demo — you can test before paying $600
  • AUDCAD is considered a comparatively benign pair for this design

Against

  • Grid without a hard stop: lot escalation is by design, 'Smart Stop Loss' is not a stop-loss
  • Risk depends on the preset: the same robot runs cautiously or all the way to wiping out an account, depending on the set file
  • Choosing between many presets is a trap for beginners
  • $600 to buy for a single-pair grid only makes sense with a substantial capital buffer
  • A trend break on AUDCAD hits the design directly

Buying and running

Our interests: We earn no commission on ToTheMoon 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 ToTheMoon. The grade is set beforehand and independently of that.

Frequently asked questions

Which markets does ToTheMoon trade?

AUDCAD. A single instrument means no internal diversification. A regime change in AUDCAD hits the whole account, which is why an EA like this belongs in a portfolio of several building blocks.

Which platform does ToTheMoon run on?

MT4/MT5. Continuous operation needs a VPS, because a sleeping machine leaves open positions unattended: VPS providers compared.

Why only 6.0?

Our rule: martingale without a proven hard stop gets at most 5.0 out of 10 for risk control, however good the rest is. The rule applies to every EA alike, whoever sells it, including those at AlgoTradingSpace. The other criteria are listed under “How the grade is built”.

What does ToTheMoon cost?

600 $ · Miete ab 100 $/Mon. (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 ToTheMoon 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.

Is there a verified live track for ToTheMoon?

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): 1 of 6 criteria agree. Differences:
  2. Risiko-Kontrolle: Zweitprüfung 3,0, unsere Bewertung 6,4. Grid mit Martingale-Averaging ohne klassischen harten Stop birgt strukturell ein hohes Tail-Risiko, und ein belegter tiefer Rückgang sowie ein praktisch ausgelöschtes Preset belasten die Risikobewertung deutlich.
  3. Nachweisbarkeit: Zweitprüfung 4,8, unsere Bewertung 7,2. Es gibt nur ein öffentliches eigenes Live-Konto bei einem Broker, das zudem lediglich einen Teil der Trades abbildet und noch keine lange Historie liefert.
  4. Preis-Leistung: Zweitprüfung 5,0, unsere Bewertung 6,4. Der Kaufpreis ist für einen auf ein Währungspaar beschränkten Grid-EA hoch, wobei Mietoption und kostenlose Demo den Einstieg etwas entschärfen.
  5. Bedienbarkeit: Zweitprüfung 5,6, unsere Bewertung 7,2. Die Nutzung wird durch verfügbare Presets und eine Demo erleichtert, verlangt aber Brokerwissen, passende Kontobedingungen und disziplinierten Umgang mit risikoreichen Einstellungen.
  6. Broker-Unabhängigkeit: Zweitprüfung 4,4, unsere Bewertung 7,2. Die belegte Nutzung beschränkt sich auf einen Broker, und die Abhängigkeit von engem Spread, ECN-Ausführung und Hedging-Konto reduziert die nachgewiesene Broker-Unabhängigkeit.
