What results can I realistically expect with Dolphin EA?+

The verified real account averaged 3.06% per month with a 1.00% peak drawdown — that is the only independently documented benchmark available. That account ran October–December 2020 on IC Markets at 1:500 leverage, starting with $1,009.80. Results depend on capital size, broker spread, market structure (ranging performs better than trending), and lot sizing. A trader running 0.01 lot per 2,000 account units on a similar ECN setup is working closest to the documented configuration. Expect monthly returns in the low single digits under comparable conditions — not the double-digit figures some reseller pages imply.

Is Dolphin EA a grid EA or a hedging EA — the descriptions conflict?+

The original MQL5 listing by developer Sergey Kruglov describes a grid / no stop-loss / basket TP system. Several reseller pages describe a hedging-scalping strategy with ATR and time filters — that language does not originate from the official build documentation. What you are purchasing is the grid/averaging EA. The reseller descriptions appear to be marketing additions, not verified technical specifications. Confirm this by reviewing the EA's input parameters after installation — grid spacing and basket TP settings should be visible; ATR/hedge inputs may not be present in the original build.

The live Myfxbook account is from 2020 — is there current proof this EA still works?+

No current active real account exists in publicly accessible verification. The IC Markets account (234 trades, 2.18 PF) has been inactive since March 12, 2021. A 2025 demo account on FBS shows 29 trades with 14.07% drawdown against 2.20% gain — that demo data reflects a basket under stress, not optimized performance. The honest position: the 2020 real account is a useful historical baseline, not proof of current market fit. Run a minimum 90-day demo on your broker before committing live capital.

What specific entry conditions trigger a trade?+

The official MQL5 documentation states only 'built-in directional filters' — the exact indicator stack is not publicly disclosed by developer Sergey Kruglov. Reseller pages mention MA, RSI, and ADX filters, but those claims are not verified against the original source code. This is a known information gap. The practical implication: you are trusting the EA's internal logic to self-filter entries. The documented 73.1% win rate on 234 real trades suggests the filter performs, but you cannot inspect or adjust the underlying signal logic with confirmed accuracy.

How much capital do I need to get started with Dolphin EA?+

The verified real account started with $1,009.80 — that is the documented minimum that produced the benchmark results. A $500 minimum is stated in configuration guides, but undercapitalization creates a specific mechanical risk: grid baskets can stack 6–10+ open positions simultaneously, and each layer consumes free margin. Below $1,000, a 6-layer basket on EURUSD at 0.01 lot per 2,000 units can compress free margin to levels where the broker forces closure before the basket TP is reached. $1,000–$2,000 with autolot at the documented ratio keeps basket exposure proportional to available margin.

What are the main risks and how does Dolphin EA handle them?+

Dolphin EA's primary risk is a sustained directional trend without mean-reversion — when price moves one way continuously, the grid keeps adding positions in the same direction, each consuming more margin while the basket TP moves further away. This is structural to grid logic and cannot be engineered out. The EA addresses this with two controls: a max-spread filter that blocks new orders when execution cost is elevated, and a drawdown stop that pauses new position opening once account drawdown hits the configured threshold. Both controls stop the basket from growing larger — they do not close existing positions. The drawdown stop buys time; the basket still requires a mean-reversion move to reach its collective TP and close at profit.

Which brokers and account types work best with Dolphin EA?+

The verified performance was produced on IC Markets with a real ECN account at 1:500 leverage — that is the only broker-level data independently confirmed. Grid and basket strategies require ECN/STP execution because they accumulate multiple positions that must open and close at tight spreads; a market-maker broker with variable spreads can trigger the max-spread filter repeatedly, causing missed entries or delayed basket closure. Hedging must be enabled at the account level — the EA's basket-close mechanic requires simultaneous open positions without netting. Avoid FIFO-restricted accounts (US brokers) and brokers that restrict hedging. Maximum spread tolerance is configurable but not documented with an exact pip value — test on demo with your broker's typical EURUSD spread first.
