{quote} Darwinex punishes for Home runs
What if I open up a 2 lot trade on UJ with a 20 pip SL (about $250 risked or 0.25%) and set my TP at 200 pips and it becomes a winner (about $2500 or 2.5%)?

To me that would qualify as a home run trade. There is no reason to punish you for that.

Doesn't have to be an egregious 10 lot trade or something that's well beyond the acceptable VaR range.

THIS IS BEST ASIAN SESSION PERFORMANCE EVER FOR ME

1. APEX 2 Funded accounts - Both Target Hit for the day.
2. Myfundedfutures trying 100kx3 evals - nearly there 1k left in the target surely be done on it before london open.
3. Topstep XFA 50x5 - AMAZING Start 1k hit in asians session (with only 1 mini thanks to dow and nasdaq volatility). WIll try to move over 2k today coz now i have total 2k loss limit. (1000 DLL + 1000$ profit). Best thing no consistency BS.

Allocation was there when I woke up today....Going to call it a day.{image}
//----

hey pip.... during the calibration phase, did you get to choose an account size or was it preset by darwin.....

was expecting somewhere between 30k and 100k.... for some reason mine, in calibration, is 1 million......

once/if passed, the transition shock of scaling down from 1 million to 30k seems unnecessary....

would have preferred a 30k calibration account..... did i miss that option....... thanks......h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

On futures, you will always trade a 1 million dollar account.
The % you make will be multiplied or reduced by the risk factor.....this number will be your actual profit or loss.
That % will be applied to your actual allocation.
There is no need to ever worry about sizing your positions for the allocation....that will be completely separate from your trading account.
They truly make it very simple...manage DD and grab 2%+ per month.
I literally need 1.14% this month for another allocation of 30K, 4% gets me 65K. They are cumulative and last for 3 months, so hitting just the minimum score each month, will have you at 90k end of month 3. End of month 4, month 1 will drop and you will have 2,3 and 4, etc....
As we have all discussed, the goal is Gold and accessing real capital, silver pays you a little, covers your fees at minimum, but you can earn 1500-2000 per month if you can hit the 60K 3 months in a row and make 5% per month.
Suggestion for everyone, pick your index of choice, hit the buy button, get the stop to BE as quick as possible and let it ride the next 15 hours.......tomorrow is going to be a fun day.

Yes, had me confused as well. I was also looking for micros, and then I was like it's a mil, don't need micros.

I think Darwin is built for you.....you are only shooting for $50 per account per day with the props......small wins, minimal risk. Potential huge rewards for doing so. I aim for 0.2-0.3% per day. Pretty easy on the indices with very minimal risk.

Just needs to survive the volitility of NFP...that is my only fear with my S&P runner. I will of course evaluate before the news release.

Markets are nervous as they don't like uncertainty. A few weeks ago it was Trump beating the vegetable man and taking over. Now, markets need to evaluate what a Kamala Harris presidency might look like.

Also, Intel laying off 15,000 employees is quite concerning.

No one wants to get caught with their pants down on Friday, especialy with the Mideast on fire. Smart money is ready to get some bargains, but maybe not quite low enough. Tread lightly

If trade reversed after moving 190 pips and hit SL it is not 0.25% it will 2.5% or around 2.25K loss.

True, but I'd have a trailing SL after +40-50 pips. Keeps the drawdown near 0.5% if I didn't get the full TP

Maybe I'm wrong, but try to check again. Suppose you have an account with 100K. UJ is currently $6.72 per pip. If you want to open a trade with a 0.25% risk and 20 pips SL, then the required lot size is 1.86 lots. If the trade is unsuccessful, reverse or something, the loss will be still the same ($250). If the trade is successful, the profit will be 1:10 Risk Reward Ratio (20 pips : 200 pips), or +2.5% gain $2500.

But Yes such a Home Run Trade.
