ah so easy.
I made my 7% required at Axiselect in 9 days, however, I have to stick around in seed for 21 more days before advancing to the next round.
Hardly a long wait compared to DZ.
Reason is, at Axi, I'm not competing with anyone. All I have to do is make the required % whereas at DZ I am competing with some very damn good traders that have been at it for years.

Easy money by competing against no one (Axi and props) vs. grinding it with damn good traders that make my low dd, low risk, high return style look like shit. Lol luckily I'm in both and will come up on top either way.

Next is FTMO. That way I will have all 3 styles.It's just that fkg DZ will take forever.

Yes, I would absolutely be running Axi as well, in addition to Darwinex, but, well, you know, that USA thing.

Foy the next 87 days, 13 hours, 20 mins and 15 seconds , we have to look at the green ticker on the dashboard that says pay us extra money, so we pay your cut monthly instead of quarterly.
Are they broke or what?

Not been here for a long time. Have you been able to raise investor capital through Darwinex yet? Last time, I think the talk was that it would take one to two years to at least be able to make a living from Darwinex.

This is to show how hard it is to eek out a few percents at Darwinex.
A steady low dd (only 4.5% a couple of days), low margin and consistent of 17.5% translates into a stingy low gain result after going through Darwinex's risk engine. Yikes.
With any prop, this would have been a 100K funded account and 90% profit share.
With Darwinex, this is half way up the chain to wait 3 years so an investor may take a look at it and grace me with 15% cut.
Any minute now the Darwinex enthusiasts will tell me that this is because I don't know how to manage risk. What risk?

Only posting because I do not want some to miss out on this great opportunity due to your negative comments......

It's not that you don't understand risk, you don't understand the product offering.....

It depends on how comfortable you are with a certain risk level. Whether you trade 1 lot or 0.01 lot, you'll be scaled the same and achieve the same risk-adjusted return. There are pros and cons to using a high or low risk multiplier, but the key focus should be on maintaining stability and consistency in your risk ratio. You don’t want to keep switching between 1 lot and 0.01 lot—instead, stick to a defined risk level and let the risk engine handle scaling up or down.

You have stated in the past you use great variance in your lot sizes, risk consistency is what Darwinex is all about, the risk engine scales your strategy to make everyone equal. Darwinex rewards you on what you actually take from the market irregardless of risk. I have one Darwin at 0.54, one at 1.74, they both make 2-2.5% monthly RISK_ADJUSTED returns

and for anyone, thinking a prop casino model is superior to trading actual investor funds, let's revisit right here on June 13, 2027, 2 years, and compare where we are in our respective journeys

Well thank you for commenting.
I don't want to go into too much detail but this is different than the accounts of mine that you know. It's trading only gold and usually it is holding maybe 10-12 positions of .01 size each. If it gets to a1 lot size, it will be in profit by that time.

Darwinex has a formula. It's Darwinex's proprietary set of conditions of how they think trading should be. It's not THE word of god. And by their own admission, they are not traders. Just like prop owners aren't traders.

Answer me this, if you are an investor and see this performance consisting of 6000 trades of .01 size and a 2 maybe 3 day dd of 4.5% dd, would you freak out and run away screaming my god what a risky trader, I'd never invest my money on this guy?
Darwinex has appointed itself as the intermediary that presents a trader as worthy to trade in or not. In effect they are saying that don't invest in this guy cause his trading is risky and horrible according to us. That's all. And they are wrong. My trading is proof of concept that their risk formula is biased, ill convinced and not practical. Of course they are not going to own up to that, so I voice my concerns about it.
Darwinex sells hope. That's all. Darwinex is a broker enjoying the broker usual profit making and this is a side hassle selling hope.
Anyways whatever, like I said, I will be making money elsewhere and I do this with effort and pay and time at Darwinex in order to obtain the job title of 'fund manager' someday regardless of the shitty score keeping methods that I'm dealing with.

I love how FF's TE shows both the equity and balance together in a chart. My equity closely follows the balance. The difference between them is my float.
Somehow Darwinex sees thr gap between equity and float as a big risk. They just can't handle it that I carry a float. They see that, rather their re formula sees that and freaks out risk risk risk cut cut cut. Dumb formula. Blind too. With all AI around, this is all they can do? How about 1:1. No need for increasing/ decreasing lot size.
There must be 1000's of traders doing better than this that in comparison I deserve to be cut to 1/3 the size to be equal.

oh yah pip, I happily accept your 2027 bet. My pleasure to once again compete with you especially now that wr will be judged on an equal basis.
Yes a prop model of 1:1 with 90% share is superior to Darwinex model.

My dear piomaster, I'll pm you my gold account letters now that we are in a competition.

  • Edited 6:16am Jun 14, 2025 5:58am | Edited 6:16am
So pipmaster and I chatted. We are on a friendly competition in our respective accounts.
I'm algo guyinto FX and gold and pipmaster is into trading..everything. ..way advanced and using marvelously manual trading methods.
He is kicking a*s in his accounts. The man is on fire.
And he is way ahead of me by 3X gain in his DZ account(s).

Yup. Tough competition. no doubt.

So, me thinks (Longevity + Positive expectancy) / Time = Success.
There is a couple of years time to the finish line...weeee.... this date in year 2027, 2 years from now is the finish line. Then we will both be ....millionaires?
Packing my bags for the long haul.

I think there is a bit of man vs. machine (operator) theme here.

Is that meant for me?
If so, what I am doing is no different than before except that
The short dd in the equity chart I previously posted was caused by introducing a few pairs and I got that dd for it and I ceased trading those pairs after that. Before and after that spike down, I was trading only gold. The only reason I can come up with is passage of time and proving through the ups and downs that I can remain consistent and profitable.

Piece of cake with Axiselect.
Easily passed seed to get to incubation and now I am allocated 20k to make real money with.
I need to make only 7% in 60 days to get to the next stage with 100k allocation and 90% profit split. Nothing to it.
At darwinex, I would have just finished the calibration.
It is so nice trading without the RE.

And look at the scoring. Simple and fair. I especially agree with the scores on consistency and experience.

Stop contaminating the DZero thread with your bloviated self agggrandizing useless Axi select posts.

Open up your own Axi thread and jerk yourself off over there.

In June, I tried to tune the Risk Engine to a positive value. It was a test. A profit of 0.37% in the Signal Account turned into 6.68% in the DZ Account. The Darwin Risk Ratio was initially at x46.93, currently at x21.72 (due to a crappy trade last Friday, my mistake). Current June Rating is at 83.03. Starting in July, there will be an allocation of €30,000. No EA, all manual trading. Of course, this is no guarantee for the future, but I was very surprised after the calibration phase. I would have expected 1 to 2%. I'm curious to see how it continues.

Best regards, Chris
