Darker is an MT4 expert advisor that opens trades automatically on major forex pairs, mainly on the 5-minute chart. Every trade has a take profit and stop loss, and the EA pauses when the spread is too wide.
Get one message the moment it launches, with its price.
Darker is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 4 that places and manages trades on its own. It is intended for the 5-minute chart of a handful of major and cross forex pairs, and it keeps its list of inputs short so that little day-to-day intervention is needed.
The EA calculates its entry points with an internal formula that the developer does not publish in detail. It also uses the Fractals indicator, which marks recent swing highs and lows, so entries are tied to price structure around support and resistance. A switch lets you trade with the trend or against it, which changes the character of the system considerably, so choose it deliberately and test it.
Each order is opened with a take profit and a stop loss. According to the developer, the EA does not raise position size to recover from losing trades, which means a losing position is closed at its stop and not averaged down. Check this behaviour yourself on a demo account before trading live.
If the broker widens the spread beyond the limit you set, the EA stops opening new trades and resumes once the spread falls back. This is useful around rollover and news releases, when spreads often jump.
The developer recommends these pairs on the M5 timeframe with default inputs:
Run one instance of the EA on each chart. Other symbols and timeframes are possible, but they are outside the recommended setup and should be tested carefully first.
The inputs are listed below. Exact default values depend on the build you install, so read them in the input window and do not assume them.
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Comment to order | Text comment attached to each order |
| Take Profit | Take profit distance |
| Stop Loss | Stop loss distance |
| MaxRisk | Risk used to calculate the lot automatically |
| Lot (when MaxRisk is 0) | Fixed lot size used if automatic sizing is off |
| Start Trailing Stop | Level at which the trailing stop begins; 0 disables it |
| Step Trailing Stop | Step size of the trailing stop |
| Fractal Period | Period used by the Fractals indicator |
| Trend / Cons | True trades with the trend, false trades against it |
| Max Slippage | Largest accepted slippage |
| Max Spread | Largest accepted spread |
| Magic Number | Identifier that separates its orders from others |
| Show info-text | Shows or hides the information panel on the chart |
If you run several instances or other EAs on the same account, make sure the magic numbers do not clash where they should stay separate.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your deposit. Past results, including any backtest or demo figures, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account, start with a small risk setting, and check your broker's spreads, execution and minimum lot before going live.
Check the Experts tab in the terminal after attaching the EA to confirm it loaded without errors.

No. This product is built for MetaTrader 4 and will not load in MetaTrader 5. If you use MT5, look for a version made for that platform instead of trying to run this one.
The developer recommends the default settings on the 5-minute chart with GBPUSD, GBPJPY, EURUSD, EURGBP and EURJPY. Attach the EA to a separate chart for each pair. Spreads and trading conditions differ between brokers, so test on a demo account first.
A VPS is not technically mandatory, but the EA only works while the terminal is running and connected. A VPS keeps MT4 online without interruption, which is why the developer advises using one.
In MT4 choose File, then Open Data Folder, and copy the downloaded EA file into MQL4/Experts. Restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, drag Darker onto a chart, and tick the option that allows algorithmic trading. Make sure the Algo Trading button in the toolbar is switched on.
The developer states that no optimisation or extra settings files are needed, and that the default inputs are the intended starting point. You can still adjust risk, spread limit and trailing stop to suit your account, preferably after testing on demo.
No. Automated trading carries risk, losses can occur, and past results do not predict future ones. Use a demo account first and only risk money you can afford to lose.
