{quote} I think all prior trading records will be smashed! The 100K will boost performance fees just by itself. The hall of fame doesnt track with the current huge Gold allocations people are being awarded (prob rise over time). Trader gain percent is higher these days too they just dont have long track records yet. I expect a LOT of turnover on that list over the next 2-3 years. Thales THA is at the top of Gold hall-of-fame and their track record is long.
Better traders and perhaps better marketing by Darwinex or it simply grows by word of mouth. I am certain Darwinexzero (only been around under 2 years) has created some new growth. The 100K permanent allottment should as well. Keep in mind also, the demise of all the forex "props".
Obviously, one never knows until we get there, but at this point, this is as close to getting funded with real capital with a regulated entity we are going to get from a remote opportunity with a low barrier of entry.

{quote} It will be extremely difficult to get 100k per year. If we are getting 2% per month or 20% per year, I expect we get monthly allocation from 100k to 500k per month (3 months consecutive allocation from silver and 6 months from gold) without investor’s capital. So performance fees I expect is anywhere between 300 to 1500 per month (which is not a lot.) However it can increase further if you can attract investors. The only problem with Darwinex is it is not that popular, even with the top investor THA with 10 years long track record, he only...
If can be profitable at low win rates BUT they assume you're carrying max possible allocation with only 2% to 3% gain. Maybe it was possible to be at the top of Gold at 3% once but not anymore. Golds top prize is 500K. Win it 6 months in a row that 3 Million BUT you cant do that with 2%. Last month 2% would have gotten you 75K so Best-Case Scenarios: Winning same Gold allocation every month without investor funds.

2%: 75Kx6=450K - 450*0.02=9K - 9K*0.15=1,350 - 1,350*6mo=8,100 - 2x per year 16,200.
Add 100K: 175Kx6=1,050,000 - 1M*0.02=21K - 21K*0.15=3,150 - 3,150*6mo=18,900 - 2x per year 37,800.

My goal is 5%: 120Kx6=720K - 720*0.05=36K - 36K*0.15=5,400 - 5,400*6mo=32,400 - 2x per year 64,800.
Add 100K: 220Kx6=1,320,000 - 1.32M*0.05=66K - 66K*0.15=9,900 - 9,900*6mo=59,400 - 2x per year 118,800.

100K is a Game-Changer. Its turns even the lowest returns into a living wage. Add a few jackpot months where you gain more than average and you could be doing pretty well. Its also realistic the think you could almost 2X these results with matching investor funds. The 5% would attract that and the 2% a portion of that.

So, just so I am clear on the math......isn't the 100K a ONE TIME permanent allocation, so assuming 1st month 75k allocation plus the 100K, you'd have 175K.
However, the second moth wouldn't you ONLY be adding another 75K, so trading 250K, 325K the third, 400K the 4th, 475 and then 550K.
Not clear on the multiplying 175K times 6 as you are not getting the 100K ADDED every month.
It's early and I am not fully caffeinated yet, so please excuse me if I am missing something.

Gold allocations stick for 6 months so if you qualify every month you'd be carrying a stack of 6X allocations after the first 6 months (my math is jumping ahead). Yes, the 100K is one-time cost permanent so after it activates you can add it to the bottom line.

Yes, I know that. So 75k *6 = $450K. It's the 100K I'm confused about, you don't add tha every month, just 1 time, correct?
So wouldn't it be 75K+100K=175 K and then 5*75K adding another $375K for a total of $550K.....vs. the 1,050,000, as you have added the 100K 5 more times.

Add the 100K as allocation every month as quick math but in truth it has its own HWM so it pays later but it still adds to monthly earn. Just on a different check. Once the 100k is activated you always have a baseline 100k forever. Allocations add to it.

I'm adding it as trading allocation every month.. Your math isnt accounting for the fact that every month the 100K is there already.

So first moth in gold you get 75K, you have added the 100K back in silver and already activated it by this point......
so you will trade 175K first month of gold, assuming the 2% return example getting you 75K.....
2nd month you are trading 250K
3rd month 325K, etc, etc
until 6 month and beyond, you are at 550K assuming only 75K allocations and no investor capital

Right, I get it. In your example though you are adding a NEW 100K allocation every month by taking the 175K and multiplying it x 6.
The 75K certainly gets multiplied by 6, but the 100K is ONE TIME.

Agree with the 1st part and what Pip saying
If you add 100k permanent allocation
for 2%, each month profit will be 300, for 12 months - 300 x 12 = 3600
for 5%, each month profit will be 750, for 12 months - 750 x 12 = 9000

2%: 75Kx6=450K - 450*0.02=9K - 9K*0.15=1,350 - 1,350*6mo=8,100 - 2x per year 16,200.
With 100k allocation, it will be 16,200 + 3600 = 19800

5%: 120Kx6=720K - 720*0.05=36K - 36K*0.15=5,400 - 5,400*6mo=32,400 - 2x per year 64,800.
With 100k allocation, it will be 64800 + 9000 = 73800.

So, if can just secure 1 million in investor capital, on top of the above
@ 2%, you're at 52K per year
@ 5%, you're at 154K per year
Somewhere in between is highly attainable for an experienced trader.

Did he/she/they/them/it earn 3% a month for 42% a year?

Of course not. Not even close. Earned 42% total for the last SIX YEARS.

Darwin Peeps! - Will you be exposing your Darwin to the election? I dont have any special memory of running a bot through an election and having concerns. Volatility usually works for me as long as I dont get any SL jumping price moves. Fingers crossed I'm on the good side of a big price spike. Also is a chance to get a lot closer to my 5% 100K target (or depressingly further away). Should be jumpy for at least this week and next. Just landed my 30K allocation so I'm good for 3 months. Sooo month #1 is gonna be YOLO!
