{quote} The only problem is that if they implement, let's say, a limit of 10% a day, gamblers would make around 9% and still don't brake any rules. Then eventually props will reduce this % to a level where also swing traders will be affected. It's a sophisticated but doable topic.
That's not the consistency rule.

The consistency rule is something like: you can't get more than X% of the total profit in a single day.

Ex: total profit 10.000. No day could have been more than 2K.

In your example, a 100K account, 9% = 9000 in a single day.
Then they would have to make at least 45.000 to withdraw that money.
It demands gamblers to be lucky a lot of times, which is more prone to lose accounts. It doesn't eliminate them, but reduces a bit.

{quote} Keep us posted please. This is the one thing they had working very well.
I got the credentials in about 5 hours but never got an email with the actual credentials. I just kept checking the platform until I saw an active account.

Passed in a few trades and now I guess I'll wait and see if I get an email regarding PA payment. Otherwise, I'll just keep checking the dashboard to see if that option is available.

Got my 2nd 30K allocation this morning from DZero. Rating dropped from 75.06 to 71.71 so I only need to earn 0.88% for October to get a 3rd allocation. Risk engine sitting at 0.37

Will be nice to get that first quarterly payment just so they can take my monthly subscription out of that. In the meantime, such a stess free endeavor. Just trade whatever, whenever, and however I want.

Yeah, I know how the consistency rule works. I was trying to think outside the box about how a firm can limit gamblers. Anyway, I think a consistency rule is very much needed if someone wants to play the serious game and avoid trouble. Something similar to Lux, but a bit "softer".

Yep, it has to be simple. You can't trade in Lux without being constantly checking your calculations. And mistakes happen, which in Lux are deadly.

Yes it is. So far it is exactly as described, the further your track record moves along the higher the allocations. As I posted above, according to the calculator, 3% gets me the silver grand prize of 375K this month.
If it holds true, that 2-2.5% per month with low DD gets the kind of money they say, I will be flying out to Cali, taking you to the best steakhouse in your area. I will need to conceal carry though as I will be proud to where my MAGA hat in that beautiful state of yours............. and we might run into some trouble.
On second thought, I'll fly you here and we'll go to Bern's in Tampa.

I stand corrected, it was 3% ealy today. Looks like I need 4.48% now.......still doable with 23 trading days this month.

The irony of Darwinex is that if these cfd prop traders traded 2 phase the same way that Darwinex regulates there would likely be more successful traders out there.

Absolutely for sure. I don't mean to sound like an asshole here, but in 12-18 months, if Darwinex delivers on what they say should happen if I do my 2-2.5% per month, I would love to see the number of failed cfd challenges fom everyone who said:

1. Darwinex only pays 15%
2. I don't want to pay a subscription fee
3. The risk engine is out to get me.

I made the bold statement when I started with Darwinex, that I would guarantee in 12-18 months I would have way more funding and be making way more money than anyone taking forex prop challenges. I doubt most will even have one passed, let alone making any money.

They say they are looking for 2-2.5% per month, so I will do my part and hopefully, if everything they works the way they explain, I should have $10 million AUM within 12-18 months.
Have you ever looked at how many of the DARWINs received this amount of capital from outside investors and how long it took them on average to attract it? Not that I don't wish you success in this goal, but that sounds very optimistic.

How did you even come up with that number of 10 million in 12-18 months? As far as I can see, this cannot be estimated and certainly not based on the mentioned 2-3% return per month as the sole criterion for whether it achieves this goal or not.

I see a lot of DARWINs with solid returns, some of which have been around for 7+ years or more and don't even have nearly as much AuM. Apart from a few that you can count on one hand. It seems more like Darwinex is not managing to raise significant investor money for its successful DARWINs and with the new Darwinex Zero Model, which brings in secure income even without alpha and investors, I see little motivation that much will change in the near future.
