{quote} //----- not sure...... have not even looked into it...... as i've said before, investors are not something i want....... the more investors i would have the harder i would force myself to work to please them...... and i work far too hard now....... it's my worst habit...... what i do know for sure, sitting at wendy's yesterday at 3:45 pm, i purchased the booster...... that account is 33 days old and has no silver seed allotments..... actually several accounts with investors have no silver allotments..... this morning i noticed the investor...
Yes, I have 3 Darwins. First one just qualified for Gold....so real anxious to see what the coming months bring because I DO want investors....it's the entire reason I am with darwinex.
Have 2 otheres sitting at 15%+, so hoping to have all 3 in Gold by end of Q1.
can say for sure the limit of 1 booster per month must be gone......

just purchased the second 200k in 24 hours..... next payout date is the same so must be considered the same day in darwin's time zone.....

plan to max it out before feb 15th deadline.....

will watch investors tab......h

yep, another 20k was added to investor funds...... still just 1 investor...... some other accounts have 7 or more investors.....

this will be a perfect account to monitor because it is only a month old and i caught the investor tab the same same day....

i will now feel compelled to trade this account better than the others....... really don't need the extra pressure......

figures.......h

{quote} Thank you for not ignoring me, Hayseed. I asked the same question on Discord too. Your response here is the best. I can ask in the future to other places too - but please do not ignore me....
//-----

hey deroty...... this is expansion of my discord reply..... many feel darwins risk engine/multiplier will adjust the trade size to the best size...... that is not true expect in extremely rare circumstances......

my risk multipliers range from 0.51 to 2.32 ....... none are the same......

if i placed the exact same trade in each of 11 accounts, darwin's adjusted trade size would be different in every one....... so which one is the best size...... they can't all be.....

does it really matter......

can't the account with a 0.51 place 2 trades and make more than the account with a 1.00 multiplier...... yes, of course......

my entry and exit conditions are more of a concern....... contract size or darwin's risk multiple are minor....

i try to be relentless in self-discipline regarding entry's and exit's.....

they are what counts.....h

be careful updating metatrader 5 to new build 5571 today...... enivid has reported an issue and my main terminal locks up....... it might be wise to let wise to wait for a hot fix......

anything prior to yesterday build 5571 should be ok....h

Yes, I always wait a week or so before doing the update.

What do you think of 36 month Boosters? Do you have any in your portfolio of darwins?

{quote} What do you think of 36 month Boosters? Do you have any in your portfolio of darwins?
//-----

i think i have 1, but no more for sure......

i'm trying to get every account with the permanent before time runs out.....

once that is complete, the 36's will be next......

my goal is the full 600k plus silver allocations in every account.....

should have accounts moving to gold in next couple months....... that will double the silver allocations time.....

it will take me maybe 4 months to pay for a 36 month 200k...... that gives me over 30 months clear money.....

the 3 and 6 month 200k's take far less but the total payout is far worse...... i have quite a few of those but now on it will be the 36's.........

december set my plans back...... spent to much time getting those apex accounts...... darwin suffered....... back on track now......

march should be my best month ever......h

Excellent! Do you only do Instant Booster Allocations? I like the look of 36M 20% Target Boosters on both the 100K and 200K Allocations. The 36M 15% Target on the 100k also looks good. What are your thoughts on these?

all mine are instant types which is worst approach....... there was a reason for me choosing instants, have just about changed my mind on that......

the target types are best for sure..... darwin is weighing the odds of us making the target......

the success rate is low, darwin has admitted this...... it has even published a chart showing the results.....

only have 7 days left to purchase the permanents and my focus is on them......

i have several darwins with silver allocations and no boosters...... there is a good chance i'll get only target type boosters in them.......

the 36 month 200k at 20% looks good....... almost too good......h

clearly said till 15th, but i was able to purchase them up to 30 minutes ago.....

now appears all documentation and links regarding permanent allocations has been removed......

that was a good deal, at least for me......h

got a text from apex a few minutes ago...... 90% off again...... not sure of the cost..... no email yet.....

half feel like getting 7 more 300k's and just canceling the 100's.....

have 13 300's...... 3 of the 100's are standards and 4 are static's........

if they all were 300's, trading would be much simpler......

have gotten a few mae rule breaks notices over the last few months.......

never looked why or which account, but feel comfortable saying i must have traded a 100 static thinking it was a 300k......

might just keep what i have......

darwin is my main focus......h

Yes, same here. I'm starting to realize I am built for a certain kind of trading and props aren't it.
I've had allocations just about every month in 3 Darwins. I have one Gold now and another tow just a little over 2 % away. Of the 9,000+ traders in Darwin , only about 20% get alloctations and about 6% achieve Gold....so I'd consider myself an above average trader being in the 94th percentile.
However, I can't beat these props....I pass, get within a few hundred of a payout, have a couple of bad days and breach the account EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A HIGHER BALANCE than when I started......that trailing DD is bullshit and only solidifies the fact they are only interested in you failing.
Darwinex, to me, feels like REAL trading.

//---

to me darwin feels far better than real trading...... the silver allocations, boosters and the permanents ...... that's a free cheese line......

darwin has killed my desire to trade with any prop, with the exception of apex....... it takes me years to lose a papex account cause i trade so small...... a big day for me is 200$..... i might average 100$ a day on the 300's...... 50$ a day on 100k's..... that's plenty for me......

darwin just seems to go out their way to help traders......

that's rare......h

I have 4 of 100K permanent allocations. Should I decrease the lot size to prevent blown account? After all Darwinex Var protects the account from getting blown. Should I decrease the lot size to protect from getting blown? And let VAR work on that?

Lastly, If I start using half lots and risk with Darwinex Zero, will VAR increase my lot size to adopt?

Not sure what size you are trading. My 3 Darwins gave max losses of 8.8, 7.3 and 5.9. They range from 8-13 months old.
If you even have a slight thought that you may blow an account, yes reduce your risk by about 80%

Size is only part of the equation, along with (just top of head)....... instrument(s) traded, how much DD you incur, duration of trade
