my contract size will be 1 for the first month...... possibly increasing in second month to 2......h

appears to be 6,938 total in the game with 744 meeting the baseline 75.....
could have said only 744 out of 6,938 , but that would not seem proper..... accurate perhaps.....
would not let that sway me at all......h

some of the darwin's achievement symbols explained below......
//-----
speakin of achievements,
darwin is most likely for very few..... that number could be less than 2000 in a world with approximately 6.2 billion people over the age of 20.....
the amount of work required to be in that small group will be tremendous.....
there will always be the above average that can walk in and take over...... but for most of us, me for sure, it might be wise to read and understand every single word written on darwins site..... three times.....
equally positive for most of us, me for sure, would be to go thru every darwin id and become familiar with every single ones complete stats.....
RAT for example is 456th but has 430,520$ under management with a 19% drawdown.....
it's a simple matter to download every single video on darwins site...... much is explained in them......
the darwin docs explains almost every thing.....
darwin is not going to be a free cheese line ......h

the asset allocation section contains your returns by asset class..... such as index, commodities, forex and such....
click on family or asset..... clicking on the circles segments will filter it down to specific class, asset or symbol.....
this exact same presentation can be done in mq5 or excel..... but if your not handy with those, darwin has done the work.....
might be a good idea to have known this well in advance of signing up with darwin......h

personal trade distribution by hour of the day is another example of something to be known well in advance of signing up with darwin.....
again, this same type presentation is easy to do with mq5 or excel, but in reality most will not be familiar with the code......
darwin does it for you.......
we are given the opportunity to look over the shoulder of the successful......
would appear to me worthwhile......h

and our trades by day of the week...... it's common to see views on the best days to trade...... views vary......
possibly we know ours in advance via mq5 or excel..... if not, darwin will....... the return distribution by day of the week section can not lie......
would you really keep trading on fridays if it was a losing day over all......
ever heard of a 3 day weekend.......h

you might remember aunty entity saying, " but how the world turns...... one day cock of the walk next a feather duster".......
perhaps what to do can be learned from the highest darwins......
perhaps what not to do can be learned from the lowest......
the achievement icon badges were explained in the screen shots above......
judging from the large number of badges all the way down to the darwin single digits, there were once a lot of haves that are now have nots......
aunty said it best years ago...... it's up to us to survive the audition.....h

The number of participants has decreased significantly from the July 2024 edition, dropping from 7,676 participants to 6,938.
might be a good thing to watch..... at least those above 0.00 .......h

{quote} I meant Darwinex FF TE and this is not FF TE, but thank you. My assumption is a great strategy. I can see it but still blind.

{quote} Life is so full of mystery
mystery and rules......
if talking about me creatin a forex factory trade explorer of my darwin account, that is something i did not create.....
the reason was, somewhere it said not to i thought...... darwin themselves will not let your last 5 trades be seen.....
it had to do with the correlation issue...... looking deeper into it, it's easy to understand darwins true concern......
in the long past metaquotes trading contests, they would ban people from the contest for correlation...... prop firms also.....
oanda never cared.....h

So from Darwin TE alone right now, your D-Leverage seems excellent, with a maximum range of 2.5 and around maximum 2 or 3 trades per session.
Cheers

{quote} I get it. I’m sorry. I understand the reasons above. So from Darwin TE alone right now, your D-Leverage seems excellent, with a maximum range of 2.5 and around maximum 2 or 3 trades per session. Cheers
the highest was 3.75 for 51 minutes..... my average d-leverage is less than 1.....
darwin is going to use d-leverage by time..... which is completely understandable and i believe what is confusing many......
my d-leverage by time is very likely 2..... have not done the math..... 2 will be my goal..... should never be above 5 for any reason......
having to adjust my trading style to better match darwins needs......h

No need to adjust the trading style, but what’s needed is an EA robot that refuses to open additional positions if the D-Leverage is above 9.75. Your target is a maximum D-Leverage of 5. If D-Leverage can be calculated with a formula, an EA can be created. Just a thought. Actually, an EA is not necessary; a regular calculator would be sufficient with manual input. The problem is how to calculate D-Leverage in real-time if D-Leverage can only be read as historical records or data after a trade is completed?
So just estimate it, more or less from daily trades.D-Leverage Thresholds
- Maximum D-Leverage of 16.25 for positions of less than 15 minutes.
- Maximum D-Leverage of 13 for positions lasting between 30 and 60 minutes.
- Maximum D-Leverage of 9.75 for positions that last more than 60 minutes.

my d-leverage target is 2..... really would like it less than 1.....
yes, d-leverage can be calculated , or precalculated, quite precisely......
darwin lends itself to momentum trading...... it was my elevator analogy on enivids site.......
you are correct about the ea...... could be created......
perhaps call it darwin......h
