Hey Darwinex Peeps! - Its taken ALL WEEK for my martingale sequences to close. Market was news dead until the end of the week so it kept hitting my GBPUSD SL. What a pretty wild ride. My EA lost about 1.9% on GBPUSD to close the sequence for a reasonable in-month recoverable loss. BUT No-Worries! While GBPUSD was struggling USDJPY was quietly chugging along printing profits. These currencies are running together because they are uncorrelated and this sequence proves it! - I LOVE it when a plan comes together. If Darwinex didnt clip a couple trades I'd likely be in-proft but only having 0.56% to recover to get back to 0% is sweet! (and tackle that last 1% I need to activate my 100K)

When this month started I posted a Darwinex picture that showed I'd get 30K at 0.00% - Looks like that also stands for NEGATIVE 0.56%. LOL!! - Good Grief I LOVE this platform.

Sweet. As hayseed put it, all your doing is summing monthly returns.

My experience was similar to what pipmaster already stated about his first DZero withdrawal 24 hours to verify my identity 24 hours to verify my bank details Requested wire transfer today. Going forward any withdrawals will be a simple click.
5 days later and the wire transfer still hasn't hit my bank account. Maybe the weekend slows it down. No hurry just pretty inefficient.

When I chose my payout method there was an option to create a wallet. I'm assuming that was for crypto? Anyways, when I clicked it said we are now taking you to the Darwinex site to create the wallet. I didn't follow through with that because I figured that as an American it wouldn't allow me to make a wallet. Maybe I'll check on that for next payout. Crypto is so much more efficient.

As an example, last night I selected a Bitcoin withdraw from a poker site I play on. Payout approved and Bitcoin hit my Kraken account in 45 minutes. 3 seconds on Kraken to sell for US dollar and request withdrawal to my bank. $$$ in my account when I woke up. 10 hours and process complete.

I didn't create the wallet either, assuming the same as you did....once I leave the Darwinexzero environment I am an illegal alien. I believe it did take about 3 business days from verification to hitting the bank.
What sites do you play on? I'm on global, ignition, and ACR.

WPN and Betonline. Ignition doesn't allow Nevada. PLO8 specialist so WSOP is a no go because they have little to no tourneys. Global has a few but they haven't fixed an issue for 3 years. When you're all in at any point during a PLO8 hand in an MTT the cards don't flip over until the hand ends. Ridiculous. They don't deserve my business and can't stand the platform anyways.

Cut my teeth on Party Poker, Fulltilt, and Pokerstars back in 2004. I miss those days......sigh

Anyways have little time for poker now

Too funny..... I used to 12 table 1-2 NL on Pokerstars, fulltilt and Paradise Poker......around the same time 2004-2007ish. Yes, those were the days. Just as with most worldwide forex brokers, the rest of the world still enjoys those sites.
Now, I just play MTTs, strictly NL hold 'em for me.

6 days without payout hitting my bank and I just found out why.

I never look at the email I used to sign up with and apparently there was an email sent to me the day after my request asking for my routing number which I gave them today. That seems strange because when I requested the payout it only asked for the Swift # and my account number.

No big deal. At least I know what happened

swift for international, routing for domestic. I believe it depends on whether you request EUR or USD, if they convert it or your bank does.

Just strange they didn't ask for it on their website when I made the request

Got an email at 6am this morning saying everything was good and the cabbage was on the way. Hit my bank in a couple of hours.

Now I'm going to buy 37 evals at APEX, 26 at TopStep, 16 at Blueguardian, and 14 at TickTick. Oh wait, nevermind, that's Monty.

I'll just continue with my beloved Dzero. Risk factor now up to 0.54 with 6 months of fees in the bank.

Wise? Tradeslide Technologies? Only cost $2 for the transaction. I use Chase Bank. OK, that works

Hmmm... Month has been pretty quiet for me. Got a couple of percent ahead then the reverse in Drawdown. Have dipped and pulled out of it 2X. Actually, I've been feeling pretty good about seeing how well my 'recovery' systems are working to prevent serious loss. So far the system is demonstrating exactly what I wished for - nice safe lower-risk profits when going 'good' and mitigating losses to near breakeven or small loss/profit when things are going 'bad'. So far so good. Even the losses at their greatest were <3% and in-month recoverable. Just what I wanted from a 'best-case' scenario of my downside systems.

This dip DID give me a chance to program a possible long-term code enhancement but for the most part I didnt have to touch anything. Posting today because at the mid-point (12/14) and checking my Darwinex.com rating I was shocked to see its in the top 15%!? - WHAT!?- Looks like it been a rough month for most and I'm not the exception. It appears that no-matter the system the market has been chaotic enough to screw up most people's plans. Next week is FULL of high-impact events so I expect a nice positive holiday bump heading into Xmas since my algo prefers volatility.

Being in the US how do you check your Darwinex.com rating?

Personally I trade one (sometimes two) positions manually based on price action. Market conditions don't really affect me. Patience and disciplined risk management far outweigh market conditions for me.

My initial 7.5% drawdown was from my intentional YOLO to make sure I got the first allocation as fast as possible. Kind of silly because I didn't know then that you get paid quarterly. Since that first month I doubt if I've been in drawdown more than 1%

I've had a Darwinex.com account for YEARS (waaaay before USA was banned). I was using it for their stats tracking for Demo accounts (myfxbook wasnt as good as now. still like both though). Tried a link when NOT logged in and no-go. You'd prob need to use a VPN to setup a fake account in an approved country.

Guess I get to crawl out of DD for Xmas. I have 2 trades open so it can still go mildly red (maybe). Prob no movement unless some big money wants to make a move on light volume. My last trading day of the year will be Thursday but I'll let anything open keep working to close hopefully by that Friday. In any event I should still qualify for another 30K on top of my current 60K. Also <1% away from activating the 100K. Still possible but most likely next week. Also can see that its been a difficult month for almost everyone if 0.11% beats 91% of 7,904 traders.

I was doing ok with 2%+ on the month and was very close to shutting it all down for the year with a positive month...and then I had an idea, why not trade gold a bit?
I even had a better idea, why not start on Dec 19th? Lol.
Well, it's been a rollercoaster ride trying to make it right since then.
Not all hope is lost, if gold covers the range of 2590 to 2640, I should be able to escape relatively unscathed.
Let's see if after xmas, it picks up again.

Feel the same. Have one trade open that tanked so I'm BARELY holding onto Green. Nicely in profit but if it crashes I'm slightly red but new allocation fundable. Hopefully Thursday closes me out for a profit without opening more risky trades (unless they win...). Last year I regretted pausing trading so I'm only skipping the 'deadest' of the Xmas to New Year days and jumping back on the horse.
