Performance Results

The live Darwinex real account has grown +149.66% from $100,457 deposited to $250,393 current balance — that is real money, real broker, real slippage. The annual win rate sits at 90% across 4,958 trades, with this month alone recording 93% win rate on 1,146 trades and +30.01% gain. Maximum drawdown on the live account reached 25.89% — material but not catastrophic given the return magnitude.

The MT4 backtest (99.90% modelling quality, variable spread, 114,087 bars) produced a profit factor of 3.33 with 93.01% win rate across 1,973 trades and 23.23% max drawdown on $10,000 initial deposit. The second backtest configuration — same modelling quality — achieved a profit factor of 37.48 with 17.70% max drawdown, reflecting a tighter loss configuration where the largest loss trade was $37.28 versus $1,525.74 in the first run. The difference matters: settings configuration directly controls which outcome profile you experience.

The live account’s 25.89% maximum drawdown is the number that requires honest discussion. Drawdown at this level stems from anchor positions held open during counter-trend moves before partial closes trigger at 200 and 300 pips. Control this by: keeping account capital at $2,000+ per 0.01 base lot, enabling dynamic lot sizing with the Base Balance parameter matched to your actual deposit, and monitoring open anchor trade count during high-impact news. At the default 0.02 anchor base lot on a $1,000 account, you are operating at the edge of safe leverage — a 25% drawdown on an undercapitalised account hurts disproportionately. Funded at $2,000–$3,000 per lot unit, the same drawdown percentage represents a manageable recovery window. Run a minimum 60-day demo to observe anchor drawdown behaviour under your broker’s specific spread conditions before committing live capital.

Live verified account (Darwinex, real USD, May–September 2025). Past performance does not guarantee future results. Backtest results differ from live trading due to slippage and spread variation. Demo validation recommended 60+ days before live deployment.

How It Works

Strategy: Dual Anchor + Scalp system on MT4 — Anchor trades ride multi-hundred-pip trend legs while up to 5 simultaneous Scalp positions harvest 50-pip intraday moves, separating trend from noise for higher combined efficiency.

Entry: EMA (period 20) entry filter combined with HTF EMA confirmation on M5 — both must align before any trade fires.

Exit: Anchor closes 50% at 200 pips, 50% of remainder at 300 pips (75% total secured); Scalp targets 50-pip fixed take profit.

Risk Control: Dynamic lot sizing scales to Base Balance parameter — set Base Balance to match your deposit to keep risk proportional. Max spread filter at 20 pips and slippage tolerance at 3 pips block poor-fill entries. One trade per candle rule prevents signal stacking.

✅ Best conditions: Trending markets with clear directional bias • London/New York session overlap (02:00–22:00 server time) • Brokers with ECN/STP execution and spreads under 15 pips

⚠️ Caution: Choppy, range-bound markets during low-liquidity hours • December 15–January 15 (auto-disabled by built-in holiday filter)

Who Should Use This EA

✅ Ideal for:

• Traders comfortable with 20–26% drawdown in exchange for high-gain potential — the live account demonstrates both sides of this equation
• MT4 users on ECN/STP brokers with tight spreads who can deploy on a stable VPS
• Traders who want configurable indicator filters (BB, Stochastic, FVG, S&R all available) to match their own market view
• Prop firm challengers — drawdown stayed under 26% on live account; pair with conservative lot sizing for tighter DD targets. Browse more prop firm EAs

✅ Best results when:

• Running on $2,000+ capital with Base Balance parameter set to match your actual deposit — dynamic sizing only works correctly when this is configured
• Demo tested for 60+ days to observe full anchor trade lifecycle including drawdown recovery phases before going live
