Linzaroo's Transition From eToro To Darwinex

Hey Chiang! Really good day today so far! SOOOOOO hard to maintain will power and NOT take profit early but, that's what I have to force myself to do. It makes me feel safer now knowing that I have implemented Sine Wave methodology though. Can never get into too much trouble following the "old faithful". LOL! xxx

Sorry folks, closed all the trades in profit as things were turning sour. First day of the month and quarter so didn't want to risk going too far down. Tomorrow's another day, better to be safe than sorry xxx

Thank you for the nice trading. Cant have max profit everyday. But green is green

Thanks Linda, looking forward to next trades

Thanks Juraj and Shalel. Got a whole menagerie of trades open now, with an AUDJPY long trade to open soon. The spreads are gonna be OUTRAGEOUS initially because there are no majors in the mix. It will look like we are getting hammered straight out of the gate but, once liquidity returns to the market things should start looking better. Have a good night all. I will check back from time to time to see if there are any questions. xxx

Trying REALLY hard to resist the urge to close these trades in profit! Aaaaarrrrggghhhh! Hurry up London...I need definition! xxx

Closed trades in profit folks as they were starting to lose steam
Will be looking to enter again later xxx

Alright folks. Since I had a clean slate with no trades engaged, I took this time to make my final deposit of £1,500 in Darwinex. That will leave my total stake with them over £9,200. If you have a look around the platform, you will see few traders with that much invested. Now, I am in no way boasting or trying to brag by saying this, I am simply trying to be transparent in why I do what I do.
To receive the FULL benefits of trading on Darwinex, considering the Darwinia competition, it is necessary to maintain at least a €10,000 account balance. Well, £9,200 will certainly more than satisfy that requirement.
Understand, I have WAY more than that invested trading the exact same way that I am trading here on Darwinex where you fine folks have been kind enough to trust me directing your funds. I am also trading with Pepperstone as well as CMC Markets with my retirement account. I am telling you this because I want you all to be well aware that I do absolutely nothing whereby my own money is not at identical stake to yours! I believe in what I am doing so...I back it.
Now, the reason I won't invest any more money in Darwinex than what I already have is purely because GBP isn't my home currency. Also, I do get slightly better spreads and more consistent swaps with Pepperstone. I will say this though, EVERY single shilling I make on Darwinex, I will keep there so you can all see my stake grow and know that I indeed have PLENTY of "skin in the game". Even all of the money that I make from providing signals, I will keep it there until I retire. No joke. I don't need it so, whenever I feel like hanging it all up and just traveling with the hubby, then and only then will I consider withdrawing any amount. If I am not mistaken, all that info is publicly available for all to see on my Darwin page.
Anyway peeps, off to do some configurations. Have a great day and I shall keep you all informed regarding our next positions. Love yous heaps! : ) xxx

OK folks! Initiated another modest basket. There's a bit of US news tonight so, I will be very mindful of these trades xxx

I have a feeling its going to be a great day

Well you have AUM 45.000$ with 8 investors, so you can assume we rely on you both personally and profesonally (and I moved major part from eToro to DX, so also not tiny money)

I certainly hope so Shalel BUT...if not, there's always one around the corner. We are already up a little today so we have some cushion. That's always good going forward xxx

Thanks again for your trust Juraj. I hope you didn't take what I was trying to say wrongly. I am in no way taking lightly what any of you have invested... regardless of the amount. I was just trying to inform you all that everything I do comes at an equal risk to me. There are SO many traders out there that provide signals BUT only have a tiny amount invested. Take for instance Olivier Danvel's Darwin on Darwinex, SEH which you can view here. Not trying to impugn Olivier but, his concern is LESS about making money and MORE about the appearance of constant green stats. He actually STOPPED trading the last few weeks on Darwinex once he attained his desired percentage level. Now, Olivier is perhaps the most copied person at this time on eToro BUT, only because it's easy for folks on eToro to be blinded due to the limited info they provide! Monsieur Danvel will NEVER gain the following here on Darwinex that he has on eToro because his true performance will be put under the microscope. He knows that and it's clear by seeing how much he has invested. Surely he has at least $20,000 USD invested in eToro because he is considered by them as an Elite Popular Investor... take note though, he doesn't even have €1,500 invested in Darwinex! THAT speaks volumes! xxx

Alrighty folks! Unfortunately, we have no additional signals to end the day. The only engagement signals that we have are the 3 that we're already engaged in involving CAD. They're negative at the moment so we shall leave them open and allow them to collect interest until they can take profit. The other 4 trades involving TRY and MXN strengthening pairs were collectively closed in profit as their signals waned. Anyway, CAD took a beating but, should recover nicely today. We shall see xxx

Only one new signal today folks. Long GBPSEK. The three residual CAD trades are all neutral signals so they could go either way. I don't expect them to go down much though because certainly the sell off has more to due with oil prices having a correction from the hysterical buying that occurred after the drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities. CAD often has a positive correlation with oil. As always, we will be fine. xxx

Sorry for the late update folks, I had a few errands to run this morning. Our CAD positions are still in play collecting interest while our long GBPSEK position took profit last night while I was sound asleep. I had another long signal for GBPSEK this morning as well as signals for long EURSEK and short CHFJPY, all three of which we are engaged in now. I hope that you ALL had a great trading day. Hopefully we will finish the week a bit stronger. Although we are in the plus for the week, it has been a bit slow for my liking
Anyway, love yous all and rest well. Hopefully you'll awake to nice big profits! Night-night! xxx

Good morning everyone! As you all know, I am always trying to make perfect my trading method. In SO many ways Darwinex is far superior to eToro but, unfortunately, there are some ways that it is not. Firstly, and perhaps the most important issue is that I cannot trade as precisely as I would like to using the MT4 platform. On eToro and CMC Markets you area able to trade in EXACT units, meaning that I can enter trades that are position sized right down to the last cent! Not too big of an issue though, just annoying.
Another issue that I have noticed with Darwinex is that they are CONSTANTLY changing their swaps. Most legit brokers practice this as well if they have too many positions going a certain way, it is common practice to fiddle with the positive swap rate to entice speculators to relinquish their positions. Totally aware of this practice but, Darwinex seems to do it more than most brokers.
Now, I am NOT in any way bagging Darwinex for this minor annoyance. I just need to prepare, in an intelligent way, how to minimise how this constant fluctuation in swap interest effects my trading activity.
What I have done is I have added ALL currency pairs in my basket that SHOULD be getting positive swaps due to their actual Reserve Bank interest rates. Even if they fall in and out of positive swap territory, that is of NO consequence to us. So long as the overwhelming majority of our trades are of the positive swap variety, we will never be in strife.
One critical benefit for us going forward in this manner, is that we are now able to add a more complete hedge. We are able to trade currencies like shorts on CHFJPY, NZDUSD, EURNZD, EURAUD and EURGBP or longs on GBPSEK and EURSEK. We now have a complete hedge on most all currencies. Any negative swaps would be a pittance to the overwhelming positive swaps in our basket PLUS, we now have 31 pairs (opportunities to trade) instead of only 23. That can be major considering we only trade in ONE direction. Anyway, things will be great, I completely assure you! Lots of love...me! xxx

I look at the trades everyday and like how things are going. I dont mind a smart but steady gain every week Keep up the great work and lets hope the day goes our way!

Thanks Shalel! I promise YOU and everyone else invested in me that I will only ever trade in a smart manner. Absolutely NO martingale OR stacking trades...NOR revenge trading, which ruins accounts! My promise to you and everyone else xxx

I also think the feedback from eToro was way better.
I dont get any profit from our positive swaps. I also contacted the DX and no answer yet.
I think I am looking into the right column, because in DEMO account the rebates are here.
