Dark Algo is a fully automatic expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that pairs short-term scalping entries with a trend-following approach. It is built mainly for EURUSD and GBPUSD and exposes most of its behaviour through input parameters, so you can fit it to your broker conditions and your own risk limits.
The EA reads a Stochastic oscillator and the Average True Range (ATR), each on a timeframe you choose. The Stochastic readings help judge momentum and the timing of entries, while ATR measures current volatility. An optional entry timing function tries to pick a better moment to open a position. The developer describes the logic as adaptive to changing markets, but you should check how it behaves on your own broker data instead of assuming it will.
The default timeframe is H1, although the most suitable choice depends on how you configure the indicators. EURUSD and GBPUSD are the intended symbols. Other instruments can be tried, but they need their own settings and thorough testing. A low-spread ECN-style account and a low-latency VPS are recommended, because scalping is sensitive to spreads and execution speed.
All parameters are external inputs. The main groups are listed below; check the exact names and defaults in your terminal.
| Group | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Trade permissions | Allow buy, allow sell, both directions at once, magic number |
| Order limits | Maximum open orders, one trade per bar, FIFO closing |
| Spread filters | Maximum spread and maximum average spread |
| Money management | Fixed lot size, or a risk percentage when money management is enabled |
| Stochastic | Timeframe, slow K, slow D, slowing, MA mode and price field |
| ATR | Timeframe and main period count |
| Entry timing | Optional logic for choosing the moment to enter |
The developer advises reading the user manual and building your own configuration rather than relying on defaults alone.
Trading carries risk, and past results, including backtests and reviews, do not predict future ones. Scalping systems can be affected by spreads, slippage and execution delays. Test on a demo account first, keep position sizes modest and never trade money you cannot afford to lose.
Before trading live, confirm your broker's minimum deposit, leverage and spread conditions, and run the EA in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account.

No. This listing is the MetaTrader 5 build and will only run in MT5. The developer mentions a separate MT4 edition, so check the store for that product if you use MT4.
The EA is designed mainly for EURUSD and GBPUSD, with H1 as the default timeframe. Other symbols may be possible, but they need suitable settings and your own testing in the Strategy Tester before any live use.
The developer recommends an ECN-style broker with tight spreads, a low-latency VPS, leverage of at least 1:20 and a deposit of at least 1,000 USD. Your broker's contract sizes and your risk settings may call for more, so check them before going live.
The developer states it is compatible with FTMO-style rules, but rules differ between firms and change over time. Read your firm's current conditions and test the settings you intend to use on a demo account first.
Extract the downloaded archive, copy the expert file into the Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, MQL5, Experts in MT5, then restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator. Drag the EA onto a chart and enable Algo Trading.
No result can be promised. Trading carries risk, and past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account and only risk money you can afford to lose.
