Dark EA
A free MT4 EA built for M5 scalping: fixed or risk-based lot sizing, mandatory stop loss and take profit, and a tight trailing stop to lock small gains.
Dark EA is a free MetaTrader 4 expert advisor built for short timeframes, mainly M5. It uses a non-linear entry calculation instead of a simple indicator crossover. Each trade opens with a stop loss and take profit, and a spread filter blocks entries when pricing is wide.
Trade management runs on a tight, dynamic trailing stop. Once a trade moves into profit, the EA moves the stop to breakeven plus a small buffer, then trails price closely by modifying the order as price moves. Installation takes only a few steps. AutoFXRebate offers the free download, a PDF install guide and Telegram support if you get stuck.
Run on demo first. The EA modifies orders frequently to trail stops closely, so use a low-latency VPS and an ECN or raw-spread account if you plan to run it live.

How the EA manages trades
The main behaviour is a tight dynamic trailing stop. When a trade moves into profit, the EA moves the stop to breakeven plus a small buffer, then updates the order repeatedly to follow price closely.
This is meant to lock frequent small gains on M5, and it depends on fast order execution. If your connection or broker is slow, the trailing routine may lag behind price.
How entries are described
The EA uses a non-linear entry formula rather than a conventional indicator cross. In practice that points to entries reacting to short-term volatility or local price structure instead of a single oscillator or moving average.
Call it mean reversion or a volatility breakout, the EA is tuned for M5 either way. Watch how often it signals and the stop-to-target distances on demo before risking real money.
Who this suits and what to weigh
This EA suits traders who want an automated M5 scalper that locks small profits with an active trailing stop, and who can provide a low-latency VPS and a low-spread ECN account.
It is a poor fit for traders who prefer set-and-forget EAs that rarely touch open orders, or who lack VPS or tight spreads. Start on demo and size conservatively while you learn the EA's rhythm.
Features
- Non-linear entry logic, tuned for short moves
- Mandatory stop loss and take profit on every trade
- Spread filter to avoid trading during wide or unstable pricing
- Breakeven and dynamic trailing stop to lock micro-profits
- Fixed-lot or risk-based sizing; no martingale or grid
- Simple install with a PDF guide included
Performance
Results are not independently verified; test on a demo account first. Run the EA on demo for several weeks. Log trade frequency per pair, typical stop-to-target distances and the largest drawdown, then use those numbers to size positions and judge whether live conditions match your demo.
Pros
- Each trade has a stop loss and take profit, which simplifies per-trade risk management
- Tight trailing can lock small gains quickly on M5 scalps
- Spread filter helps avoid entries during costly market conditions
- Free at AutoFXRebate with an install PDF and Telegram support
Cons
- Frequent order modifications require a low-latency VPS and a responsive broker
- Version is not listed in the package, so updates may not be available
- Tuned for M5 scalping; not built for longer timeframes
- No built-in recovery system and no martingale option
Setup
- Download the Dark EA package from AutoFXRebate and extract it
- Copy the EA file into MQL4/Experts
- Restart MetaTrader 4 so the EA appears in the Experts list
- Open an M5 chart for one of the recommended pairs, start with EURUSD, attach the EA and keep default inputs
- Run on a demo account for at least two weeks and log trades, trade frequency and maximum drawdown
- If you go live, choose an ECN or raw-spread account and run the EA on a low-latency VPS; message AutoFXRebate's Telegram support if you need help installing
Verdict
Dark EA is a compact MT4 scalping EA built around locking small gains with an active trailing stop and a spread filter. It fits traders who can provide low-latency execution and prefer per-trade SL/TP over recovery systems.
Start on demo with the included PDF guide, watch the EA's trade frequency and drawdown, and move to live only once demo results sit inside your risk tolerance. Download the free package from AutoFXRebate and message the Telegram group if you need help installing it.
