Btw, they have a mistake in their 1 step page. The DD is not static, it's trailing. It's static just for the 2 step model.
Just a correction about Blueberry. I was wrong. The one trailing is therapid one. The 1 step and 2 step is static. I'm going to edit my post to avoid misunderstanding. Sorry about that.

If the spreads are solid then it is interesting offer...but one has to be picky to pinpoint the first entry not to pay the fee for to long without payout. Another side gig.

Account 3 was reset . 4 days into calibration, so stats will be cut at half cca, maybe a bit less. Managed the best start of all accounts so far.

Impressive!

So what's the deal with correlation between accounts? I see you have allocation for both. Does it need to be less than 50% correlation between accounts and if so do you trade different instruments between accounts?

I have 3 accounts in calibration phase at the moment so I was thinking that I'd trade only one instrument per account after calibration. Three instruments that aren't highly correlated with each other. Maybe UJ (my new favorite), SP500, and possibly oil or gold?

Thoughts?

There isn’t a “one size fits all” answer: it’s personal preference and a question of which one’s rules and parameters best suit an individual’s trading style.

The three best, most honest, most reliable ones are probably Topstep, Tradeday and Earn2Trade.

All three have successfully funded plenty of UK-based traders.

Yeah, depends on what you want. You can try as you mentioned, but the thing is that this correlation is not a big deal at all. If you are not cheating of course. Even if I will be halted from new allocation, they cover my subscribtion ( if score above 75 which I have already now on both accounts ). I don't put too much attention to it anymore, my goal is to get to Gold, where correlation doesn't matter anymore.

But - that doesn't mean I trade the same - I diversify everything in trading as much as possible. Firms, accounts and trades. The only thing fix and rigid is my personal life and everyday habits.

Correlation has nothing to do with pairs traded. It is purely P&L (positive and inverse).
So if you trade S&P and EUR/NZD if it moves in similar way too bad it is considered as correlated.
If you trade same pair and different P&L it is consider as different.
For darwinex correlation means diversification of funds irrespective of same pair different pair.

Just got paid by Alpha. My 25th with them. Took just under 72 hours this round.The payout time has slowly increased from a few hours when I started with them. Did see on discord that they are promising a 1 day payout to be implemented this month. Hope that's true but on the other hand, the mods on discord are saying expect up to 1+4 days for the payout (1 being the request day and 4 more business days).

No news of the payout I submitted to ascendx on the same day as Alpha. I'm not putting much hope on that as I expect them to retroactively apply some rule to not pay out.

So if I go long UJ on all 3 accounts and set each trade with different SL/TP it's not considered correlated?

If you trade same setup and pattern the P&L curve will be consistent which you dont want. As long as P&L pattern is inconsistent correlation will not catch up.
For example if you trade 1 lot on one account and 0.1 lot on another and with 50 pip target and 100 pip respectively. If you keep lot size consistent correlation will match up. If trade different times same pair there will not be any matching pattern.

//----

judging from your latest posts, assuming 20 trading days a month, your wanting to make 1000$ per day..... does that sound roughly correct.....

the only trouble i've noticed with topstepx and tradovate platforms is you can only have one open per user name at a time..... switching back and forth between funded and evaluation accounts is a pain..... or in group trading, switching back and forth between apex tradovate groups or topstepx leads annoys me.....

it would be nice to have those platforms open on multiple computers so the groups would always be there......

that's what's nice about metatrader...... there is no limit to how many darwins metatrader5 i can have open at the same time..... need all the computing help i can get.....

divide and conquer......h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

Boom Outstanding results. Not many traders can achieve this — high returns with tiny drawdown. Care to share the D-Leverage and the number of trades for the third account?
