{quote} This would solidify the point that classic traders have a HUGE advantadge over dzero traders as far as securing AUM.. That is, if an investor is judging by one's skin in the game. Unfortunately, being in the USA, zero is my only option.
That depends if investors know that you are in USA and cannot participate any other way-ask Darwinex staff about this issue... Anyway you will need 3-year solid trackrecord to attract some stable AUM. Believe me,you don't want to deal with stupid investors who jump in when your Equity curve looks fabulous and than run away in the middle of next drawdown. That is not good for trader's psyche and also not good for your commissions-realized losses,if investor comes back,will have to be made back before you become eligible for commission and it doesn't matter that it is not your fault that he realized loss by freaking out.
If investor has a portfolio of 5 darwins and one goes into 10% DD,it should be easy to weather such DD as it represents only 2% DD in his portfolio(if he invested equal amounts in all 5 darwins),but somehow they still manage to freak out.

{quote} You say they have changed but how do you know since you don't work for Darwinex?
They implemented changes on their platform that represent huge improvement over how they operated in 2020 for example. Darwinia went through very important improvements.It is still not very good,but much better than old one.
Also there was a change in staff.Not to mention that traders from restricted jurisdictions (Japan,USA...) now got a chance to participate and total beginners also have much safer way to learn how to trade and manage risk- DarwinexZero.

{quote} It's not Just US with only DZ. It's everywhere in the world with regulatory bodies that Darwinex hasn't bothered to register with. Americans with their ingrained victim mentality think they are the only ones in the world missing out on goodies as usual.
It's not because they haven't "bothered" to register with the US.

As I've said in the past about 7 years ago when I discovered the Darwinex classic model I actually spoke on the phone with one of their representatives. At that time they were in the process of trying to obtain all of the licensing/requirements etc etc to open up to the US market. They had a 6 month plan. Unfortunately they gave up on that plan because of the immense cost and complete aggravation of trying to deal with all of the regulatory red tape. And Voila, the US was nixed from their plans

I'm just speaking about my experience and Luis saying the re needs 45 days to access the trading results of a Darwin.
Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that it is possible to present an account that seems to pass as a candidate after that 45 day period.
Then the Darwin has to go through the same calibration as DZ traders to acquire a rating.
Those are facts and valid as of now regardless of the past procedures.

Finally an account of mine that Darwinex likes. {image}
Nice!! You're SMOKIN' - I'm doing OK so far this month (almost positive for year). This week will be volatile so should be able to boost gains. Congrats! on nailing a strategy that the risk-engine likes. Now you just need mutiple 100K's to put on that puppy (future proposed upgrade). I switched my second Darwin from trade two pairs to trading the BEST PERFORMING currency by itself. Duhhhhh..... (should have done that from the start). I have never done a major strat shift in the risk-engine so it'll be interesting watching the risk-ratio adapt.

Thanks very much.
I have seen plenty of what it doesn't like. (Any kind of martingale even if successfully done)
I just remembered you have some marty in yours. Must be real mild....or your use of SL is helping.

Anyway, now seeing what it does like is really helpful. This one has no marty in it.
Opens it up more for me.
But at the end, 'low dd, good earnings and 2 step ahead and one little one back once in a while' seems to be the trick which is not a new one. All hedge funds work on the same principal.
You are doing great yourself. It doesn't like strategy change unless it's really mild.

I made a screenshot just like yours.
I got 30K in this and qualify for a 45K next month as it is now.

Have you purchased the instant allocation as of yet? I know you added the 100Ks to your accounts, but I believe it was prior to the instant option.
From a math perspective, the 5% is a no brainer vs. the other options. What I am weighing is the $500 extra for instant truly worth the $750 I would earn on the 5% as opposed to needing to use the 5% to trigger it. I guess $250 is $250, right?

Nope. Instant doesnt seem to be a good 'value' as much as the 5% which is a pretty low target already. The 5% fits with my thinking so well that its already part of my Darwin process for new accounts. Even up to 10% are targets that you have to hit anyway on the way to 20% Gold. The 10% seems perfect for getting out of drawdown since its only +5 on the good side.

Permanent allocation stays active in gold as well? Completely separate from silver and/or gold, correct?

Yep, its a completely separate investor. Never goes away just the HWM changes. Silver/Gold add to the DarwinIA Line, Perm Alloc is a separate entry and eventually Investors will be another entry

Great. Thanks. I have 60K this month but in a bit of DD, would be a great time to add.
Where is the investor breakdown screen or do you only see it when there is more than 1 investment type?

They only get added once each type active. You might not even see this grid unless you have the perm allocation since its not needed if you're only in DarwinIA. I'm DZero so I cant gain investors until Gold level.

Quiet in here. I assume everyone has hit their 2% for the month and awaiting their next allocation?

I need a 1.8% to get another 30K.....4 days to do it. Once again, regret not adding the permanent allocation at the right time. Was over 5% DD at one point earlier this month. Would have hit the 5% already.

Keep it up guys. Only 5 more months to go.
....and earning a few hundred while waiting. Darwinex is literally the easiest, most stressfree trading endeavor I've ever taken on. Especially compared to the high stress day trading I do on the futures props.
