{quote} It will be interesting how much allocation he will get in just a few days. I'm sure he is very excited after all that wait. . And his stats. Looks impressive. {image} {image}
OKMU is a gambler-type trader. Minimum VaR exceeds -6.5% in October. Next month, his risk ratio will likely decrease significantly, probably around 0.5.

I have to say, these videos are really reassuring.

Maybe OKMU wanted to get a nice sizable allocation and then take it easy.
Judging by his first month, he can control it in a range.
Will see I guess.

OKMU is @ 315,000 right now. Weird plan. His VAR is gonna get crushed and the allocation is only for 3 months. It'll be recovery time vs remaining allocation timer. I'll be watching

JBXL just overtook OKMU for 2nd place.

Now:
1-FURC
2-JBXL
3-OKMU

All with huge recent equity rises despite all the VAR punishment fears.


It's still pretty cool for OKMU who has never been allocated anything to find himself in top 3 for his first.

Of course he could have had many failed and abandoned accounts before and this is just a new version of an old hand in the game.



Also, Darwinex sent email with all their eyes on FURC. They love everything about how this guy trades.
Whatever numbers he is putting out, he has got Darwinex excited.

Just for reference, here is FURC's chart.
Look at that angle. 45-ish.
Does he care about VAR?
As is, how is or will his VAR for this kind of gain will hinder him in short and long run?

Additional to how delicious this chart above and stats looks to an investor, there are 2 numbers that really stick out.
I personally maybe I look at the % gain....nice... and go straight to Max DD number.

31.77/3.46= 9.18

This guy has gained 9 times the DD he has caused.
It's basically 10 to 1.

Woha......


So, Imagine what a scrumptious seller that kind of behavior is to the eyes of investors...


So, poor guy end up with bad VAR if he keeps going like that?

I just don't think investors care about VAR that much.



I just thought of something...what if they are all the same person?

And this is FURC's related stats.
Obviously a meteoric rise.
And Darwinex excited to see this.
But look at those numbers....
Sustainable long term?

I think he is heading to GOLD..

So, the risk manager, based on it's calculations, reduces the trade sizes.
In the video, the Darwin size is smaller than the trader's size.
That implies the trader is taking slightly larger risk then should.

So, question is,
Does the risk manager ever multiply the trade sizes if it determines your risk is really small and could use a bigger trade size?

Maybe that is what 'allocation' means.
the bigger your allocation, the less downside you have presented in your trading.
Therefore, less downside means more allocation will be given.

And to really attempt to reach a high ranking, one needs to bat the profit out of the field.

I think just do that and the formula takes care of the rest.

But trick is to keep it up.


This is one reason I like Darwinex. It is ergonomic.

So you should be able to just trade .01 and the risk manager would act like a position sizer and place the right size according to the calculated risk. No?

Yes, the trades for my Darwin get expanded by 2.77 - It expands your trades until it hits the 6.5% VAT risk ceiling.

No. If you trade 0.01 then the risk-manager has no way to reduce risk lower. It cant go any smaller if you have a <1.0 risk ratio. You need a lotsize that has room on both sides.

not sure....... have not had time to give it proper thought......

at first glance, a risk ratio of 0.50 might appear bad...... or a risk ratio of 2.0 might appear good......

if we reduce things down to dollars and cents, could very well be the opposite......

suppose the 0.50 guy sells 10 nq contracts and the 2.0 guy sells 1....... which will make the most.....

might be best to trade the proper size and keep an eye on the resulting risk ratio......

then use of darwon's risk ratio to adjust the size of our apex trades to match the size of the account.......

i have 25k, 50k and 150k apex ppa accounts...... and always use 1 micro contract in each.......

seems somewhat wasteful.....h

the question is, remember me saying,

when they start in on those type conversations, i just quietly leave the room......

seems like a waste of valuable time which could be better spent working on trading issues...... or learning mq5......

i'm more interested in working out how to get 100 winning trades in a row at darwin zero.......

don't hold it against me......h

100......h

4 diff prices. 100K allocation activates after you earn an additional 5, 10, 15 or 20%. each price diff. 5% is 495 - 20% is 195. - You can immediately earn HWM profit using it. Pay before. Adds a 5% target to your CURRENT Bid for activation after you pay. Its actually a very clever system, reasonably priced.
