Deriv Karma Project EA Download — MT5 Deriv Synthetics EA

Deriv Karma Project EA is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor built for selected Deriv synthetic indices (Boom, Crash, Range Break, Painx, Gainx) with technical-analysis rules and configurable risk controls. Independent 90-day XAUUSD tests of the same file against other gold EAs across different market conditions were plus on average in all 14 boards — a side check, since gold is not the product focus.

What is Deriv Karma Project EA?

Deriv Karma Project EA is by Kwaku Bondzie Ghartey. It is an automated MetaTrader 5 system aimed at selected Deriv synthetic indices, with adjustable inputs and risk-control options.

Supported instruments called out on the product include Range Break 100/200, Boom 500/1000, Crash 500/1000, and Painx / Gainx 400 and 600. Demo and Strategy Tester use are recommended before live trading.
  • MT5 platform
  • Deriv synthetics focus
  • $259 list price (22 Sep 2026)
  • 14/14 gold boards with plus average

How Deriv Karma Project EA trades

The EA follows technical-analysis rules on the configured Deriv synthetic chart and manages positions from your inputs. You can adjust settings per supported instrument and use risk-control options to limit exposure.

It is built for Deriv synthetics, not as a dedicated gold strategy.

What you can customize

Inputs cover instrument-specific behavior, position handling, and risk controls. Start conservative, change one item at a time on demo, and keep lot size small until you understand the drawdown on your account.

Starting setup

  • Pick a supported Deriv synthetic index from the product list
  • Start with conservative risk inputs on demo
  • Strategy Tester + demo before live
  • VPS if you leave Algo Trading on

Requirements

  • MetaTrader 5
  • Deriv Karma Project EA download file
  • Access to the Deriv synthetic indices you intend to trade
  • Demo first on the same broker path and VPS you plan to use later
  • Enough free margin for your chosen lot / risk settings

A good fit if you

  • want an MT5 automation aimed at Deriv Boom / Crash / Range Break style indices
  • can demo carefully and accept that automated trading can lose money
  • also want an independent gold check of the same file before you treat XAUUSD as a use case
  • care about average profit, not only first-place finishes
  • accept that worst paths still fell about 19–33% on the gold boards

Not a fit if you need

  • proof it is a dedicated gold EA — the product focus is Deriv synthetics
  • a review of Boom / Crash live results (those are outside these gold boards)
  • a gold board leader everywhere — it led on wins in only 2 of 14 tests
  • a low-drawdown promise — worst paths reached about 33% on $1000 and 38% on $300
  • a live Myfxbook / broker statement copied here as proof

Key risks and how to reduce them

What can go wrong

  • Deriv synthetic indices are not the same as XAUUSD — results do not transfer automatically.
  • Automated trading can produce deep drawdowns; comments on the product page also report large losses.
  • Wrong lot size or aggressive settings can wipe an account quickly.
  • Plus gold averages in a simulator do not prove live results — worst paths still fell about 19–38%.
  • Market conditions and broker paths change; demo first.

Safer first steps

  • Demo on the same Deriv path and VPS you plan to use later.
  • Start with conservative risk; do not raise size after a loss.
  • If you care about gold, treat the XAUUSD boards below as a separate check.
  • Set your own maximum account-loss limit before any live use.
  • Read the gold boards below before you treat XAUUSD as a reason to buy.

What to know before you download

  • Confirm you need MT5 and use the Deriv Karma Project EA download.
  • List price was $259 on 22 Sep 2026 (also $109 / 1 year) — check the live figure.
  • Know the main focus is Deriv synthetics; gold results below are a separate check.
  • Independent 90-day gold tests were plus on average in all 14 boards.
  • Demo first; automated trading can lose capital.

Independent gold tests

A Deriv-synthetics product does not show how this file held up on gold. We ran locked 90-day FX EA Tester boards under shared rules across different market conditions. Here is the short read before you download.
  • Coverage: 14 tests · 75 other gold EAs · 100 paths each · 90 days (one 180-day board)
  • Headline result: plus average in all 14 tests (+$15 to +$73 on $1000)
  • Led wins on the trend board (20/100, also the best average) and the $5000 board (18/100)
  • #2 on the 180-day window (30/100, +$73.12) and the scalper field (15/100)
  • Usual drawdown about 8.3–11.8%; worst paths about 19–33% on $1000

Results breakdown

What stood out

• Profit: plus average in all 14 tests, +$15 to +$73 on $1000. Best was the 180-day window (+$73.12); $5000 made +$122.87.
• Against other EAs: led wins on the trend board (20/100, best average too) and the $5000 board (18/100). #2 on the 180-day window (30/100) and the scalper field (15/100).
• Scalper and grid mixes: #3 against the scalper group (+$29.49); #9 on wins on grid stress but still +$46.24.
• Risk: average max drawdown about 8.3–11.8%. Worst paths about 19–33% on $1000, 37.53% on $300.
• Bottom line: solid gold numbers for a Deriv-focused file, but still a side check with real worst-path risk.

See Where it looked stronger or weaker below for the condition-by-condition read.

How often did paths make money?

71 / 100 best · Deriv Karma Project EA mixed gold @ 180-day window

Each bar is one test. Height = share of paths that finished in profit — not the same as average $.

Weakest here: Deriv Karma Project EA vs gold scalping peers (56/100). A board can clear ~half its paths and still lose money on average.

Where did it finish on wins?

#1 best finish · Deriv Karma Project EA vs gold trend peers (20 firsts)

Shorter bar = better win rank. First on wins can still lose money on average.

Pair this with average $ in the Independent check above — wins and profit are separate scores.

How the tests work

Only gold (XAUUSD) boards. Deriv Karma Project EA plus nine others, same money settings, 100 paths, 90-day window (180 days on the longer-window board).

Fourteen gold conditions. Deriv synthetic indices from the product focus were not part of this experiment set.

  • Symbol: XAUUSD
  • Paths per test: 100
  • Typical window: 90 days · deposit 1000 · lot 0.01 · risk 1%
  • Market mix: random (uptrend, downtrend, range, chop, and shock paths)
  • Engine: Hosted FX EA Tester (same rules for every EA in a test)
  • Coverage: 14 tests · 75 other EAs · 100 paths each

Wins and average can split: on grid stress it was #9 on wins but still averaged +$46.24. Treat those as two metrics.

Drawdown average vs worst still applies. Path labels are FX EA Tester’s.

So… is Deriv Karma Project EA worth trying?

Our take: Balanced — solid in several areas, with clear limits

Where it looked stronger or weaker

Stronger / weaker notes are FX EA Tester gold fields — not Deriv synthetic sessions.

Better in these test mixes

  • Trend peer field — #1 on wins (20/100) and the best average (+$44.07)
  • Large $5000 account board — #1 on wins (18/100), +$122.87
  • 180-day window — #2 on wins (30/100), +$73.12, 71/100 in profit
  • Mixed popular and 2% risk boards — #3 on wins with +$55.67 and +$56.27

Weaker in these test mixes

  • Grid / recovery peer stress — #9 on wins (5/100), though still +$46.24
  • Tight 0.5% risk board — +$16.64, 56/100 in profit
  • Small $300 account — +$15.24, deepest worst path (37.53%)
  • MT4 field — #7 on wins (6/100), +$44.28

Strong points

  • Plus average on all 14 gold boards
  • Led wins and had the best average on the trend board (20/100, +$44.07)
  • Led wins on the $5000 board (18/100, +$122.87)
  • 180-day window: #2 on wins (30/100), +$73.12, 71/100 paths in profit
  • 56–71 of 100 paths in profit on every board

Weak points

  • Led on wins in only 2 of 14 tests
  • #9 on wins on the grid stress board (5/100)
  • Smallest averages on the $300 (+$15.24) and 0.5% tight-risk (+$16.64) boards
  • Worst-path drawdown still reached about 33% on $1000 and 38% on $300
  • Product focus is Deriv synthetics — these XAUUSD boards are a side check, not the main use case

Reasons it may fit you

  • You want an honest gold check of a Deriv-synthetics MT5 EA before you treat XAUUSD as a use case
  • You care about wins vs profit — and you want to see both clearly
  • You accept gold risk and will try a demo before using real money

Reasons to be careful

  • You want a product built and supported for gold first
  • You read simulator averages as proof of live gold results
  • You only trust live Myfxbook / broker results

Our take

Deriv Karma Project EA looked solid in these 90-day gold tests: plus on average on every board, two board wins, and a strong 180-day result. The limits are clear too — gold is not the product focus, it led on wins in only two tests, and worst paths still went fairly deep.

It may fit better if you mainly want a Deriv synthetics automation and you treat the gold boards as a side check worth a demo. It may fit less well if you want a product built and supported for gold first.

Our take: Balanced — solid in several areas, with clear limits. Downloads stay on MetaTrader Market.

Every EA in a test uses the same FX EA Tester rules. We show results even when this EA is not first. These are research tests — not live trading. Read the risk disclosure.

FAQ

Is Deriv Karma Project EA a gold EA?

No. The product is built for selected Deriv synthetic indices. The tests below are a separate XAUUSD research check of the same MT5 file.

What instruments is it built for?

The product lists Range Break 100/200, Boom 500/1000, Crash 500/1000, and Painx / Gainx 400 and 600 among supported instruments.

Did it look strong when tested on gold?

Yes, in these tests. It averaged plus on all 14 gold boards over 90 days (+$15 to +$73 on $1000), led wins on the trend and $5000 boards, and had 56–71 of 100 paths in profit. That is a simulator result, not a live gold record.

Is Deriv Karma Project EA worth trying for XAUUSD?

A careful demo can make sense if you accept that gold is not its main focus and worst paths still fell about 19–33% on $1000. Demo on your own broker before you treat gold as a use case.

What gold-focused EAs looked stronger here?

On its boards, Scalping Robot Pro led the mixed, MT4 and MT5 boards (up to +$125.07 on MT4), and Gold Zilla AI led the 2% risk and 180-day boards. Adaptive Gold Scalper MT5 and Orion Gold Scalper have full research pages to compare.

Which gold boards were plus on average?

All 14. The best were the 180-day window (+$73.12), the 2% risk board (+$56.27) and the mixed popular board (+$55.67). The smallest were the $300 account (+$15.24) and the 0.5% tight-risk board (+$16.64).

How risky was drawdown on the gold boards?

Average max drawdown was about 8.3–11.8%. The worst path on a $1000 board fell about 19–33%, and 37.53% on the $300 board.

Did it face 100 gold EAs at once?

14 gold boards, 75 unique other EAs, 10 per board. Not 100 at once.

Do you have live gold or Deriv results here?

No. These are FX EA Tester gold boards only — not live gold and not live Deriv synthetics results.

What to do next

1) Keep in mind the 14/14 plus-average gold record is a simulator side check — Deriv synthetics live results are outside these boards.
2) Compare a gold-focused alternative below before you pick an EA for XAUUSD.
3) ZIP if you want ranks.
4) Demo from the download if you still want hands-on time.
