I think it's not so much a low drawdown per se that helps the rating, but rather the ratio between return and drawdown. That's the reason for my previous question and why I think risk-to-reward has a significant influence on the rating calculation, ...

darwin discussion

Okay, so your maximum drawdown was probably less than 3%. Well, I think my strategy isn't good enough yet to achieve these results in a short time. I would have to happen to start the calibration at a perfect time when the market was performing ...

darwin discussion

So could you provide an concrete example of what percentage risk to reward was achieved for one of your Darwin’s that finished the calibration phase with a minimum rating of 75? Then I can figure out how this translates to a certain risk to reward ...

darwin discussion

Yes, and that’s great (so at least it gets „easier“ over time) However, Hayseed mentioned it’s entirely possible to come out at the calibration phase and receive the minimum silver allocation straight away in the first month. So I wondered while ...

The statement could therefore not be further from the truth, and thus a very positive/strong risk/reward ratio would be THE decisive criterion for success with Darwinex. From AI Key Long-Term Performance Metrics Realistic Goal: A 15% annual return ...

darwin discussion

Thanks, but I don't think you quite understood my actual question. The question did not refer to risk/reward in general, but rather whether and how this affects the rating one receives/needs to obtain a certain DarwinIA allocation or level. Looking ...

darwin discussion

Can one generally say that a reward:risk ratio of slightly more than 2:1 is needed for a minimum rating of 75?. If I take the figures that the rating calculator gives me one could assume that. A 5.22% required to achieve a rating of 75.02 where my ...

Okay. My Darwin has now been created. Return (since inception): 1.40% Max. drawdown: -2.41% Return (last 6 months): 1.40% DARWIN risk: x2.51 Maximum VaR: 2.60% Minimum VaR: 2.28% Max./Min. VaR: 1.14 1 month max. variation: 14.57% Annualised ...

Just out of curiosity. Couldn't Darwinex directly implement the necessary techniques/tactics to solve capacity problems? If I understand correctly that you have to use some kind of order splitting technique in your underlying strategy, isn't that ...

darwin discussion

Yes. Fall seven times, stand up eight. Wishing you success too in whatever you’re working on

darwin discussion

Yes, I understand. Regarding "spikes," are you taking any additional measures to protect yourself from potential negative slippage situations? I recently read on the Darwinex Discord that someone experienced a 38-point slippage from their actual ...

darwin discussion

Hehe. So, if I understand correctly, there's no error in the calculation of how you're paid on the profits you made with your Darwin (thats all correct). Your concern is that without adjusting position sizes, you won't achieve a compound return as ...

darwin discussion

I didn't understand that part of the message either. Up until now, I was under the impression that the Darwin’s Quote reflect the net percentage return of the Darwin. So, if the Quote starts at 100, and the underlying strategy / signal account has ...

darwin discussion

url I've only had positive experiences with it so far. It's a very reliable trade copier that doesn't even cost anything. However, it only works locally with MetaTrader accounts but therefor there are no latency/execution/slippage problems like ...

darwin discussion

Yes, nothing against a positive attitude and ambitious goals. I'm just saying that the reality of most Darwinex traders' track records tell a different story, which isn't to say I don't believe you can't achieve 100% annual returns. Have you ...

darwin discussion

Ok, understood. So my idea got trashed hehe.

darwin discussion

That's a very optimistic assumption considering that very few Darwins have had 100% annual returns so far, and I don't think any have even had 100% in two consecutive years (I'd have to look at the stats I collected on all the Darwins again). Be ...

darwin discussion

It would only be one booster then. What I meant was the following scenario: I buy 10 Darwinexzero subscriptions, which cost €45 per month. I receive 10 x 10% discount codes. I cancel all 10 Darwin subscriptions after the first month. I have spent ...

darwin discussion

Does the discount apply to all booster types, and can the discount codes be collected and then applied all at once, for example, to get a completely free booster after purchasing 10 Darwins? (10 x 10% = 100% discount) Then, for example, you could ...
