Will try a new FTMO challenge starting next Monday. Regarding Futures Props. TPT looks good to me except they also doesn’t seem to allow automatic trading. Why is it that Future Props all seem to be against automation?

image Slowly... I was already up +5% at the end of August but faced a prolonged losing streak from Monday-Wednesday. Not sure I’m going to reach the minimum rating of 75 by the end of September to be qualified for a DarwinIA Silver allocation. ...

Yes, I agree with you. That's really strange, but then they're probably out of the question. I currently have the best conditions for CFDs with GlobalPrime. For futures, I've opened an account with Interactive Brokers, AvaTrade, and NinjaTrader, but ...

I've already tested the "ECN Prime" account type, where you pay commissions on top of the spread, but 1.1 pips for EUR/USD is ridiculous. I just checked again to see if it was sporadic, but it's still that high on my platform. Stock indices and many ...

I can't find a thread about this broker, so I'll just ask. Does anyone here have an account with BlackBull Markets? I'm a bit surprised by the spreads. They offer three main ECN account types: ECN Standard, ECN Prime, and ECN Institutional. For ...

Yes, that's right. You can import your data and perhaps only use the best ones. Never thought about it that way before. From that perspective, Darwinex should actually prohibit the import of previous broker histories altogether.

According to the official rules by FTMO and their TOS there isn’t any specific max. risk per order limitation despite the max. 5% daily drawdown limit and the max. 10% overall drawdown. I wouldn't rule them out per se and would simply make your own ...

What do you consider an acceptable percentage of trading fees? I currently have a gross P&L of $62k on my Darwinexzero 100k account. Of that, I paid 1k in trading fees (1.61%). That seems quite high to me? With another broker, I paid 0.38% for the ...

Good. Will be following. I'll give FTMO another try soon and leave futures props alone for now. Personally, I don't see any significant advantages over CFDs, especially since it's not your own account anyway. You still have to follow the company's ...

Yes, why not. I’m currently forward testing my latest trading plan after I’ve made some changes to it and hopefully it will all work out then.

The guy behind KVL didn’t sound like a stupid person to me with a decent background in data science. So that’s why I brought up this example. Intelligence doesn’t mean a thing in trading. Yes. A 2-3% monthly return is great but with Darwinex ...

You've got a good grasp of the situation. You're one of the few here who doesn't praise everything that glitters. In any case, Darwinex doesn't make much sense to me if it's simply not worth it compared to other options. I certainly don't want to ...

The only good news I heard today about Darwinex is that once you reach Gold status, your DARWIN supposedly remains open to investors forever from that point on. I had assumed that if, for example, you reached Gold after 8 months and then slipped ...

So, I spoke to Darwinex again directly and now I understand a few things better. It is as I assumed: Changes to the position sizing in my signal account with a current risk multiplier of 0.5 will not affect the profitability of my DARWIN. It is a ...

darwin discussion

Yes. I am currently at a risk multiplier of 0.5 for my DARWIN. Means to make a 1% profit in my DARWIN I actually need to make a 2% profit with the signal account. Doesn’t sound like a good deal.

darwin discussion

Yes, it seems to be constantly changing/adapting. With a risk multiplier of 0.5, my DARWIN‘s drawdown is halved, but so is my profit. I don't think that's ideal, but since the calculations behind it are difficult to understand, it's hard to adjust ...

Prop Firm Hub 2.0

Ok. That makes sense. So lowering my signal account‘s VaR should bring up the risk multiplier.

Hey. Yes, agree. Not sure which brokers are good/safe for US citizens as I’m from Europe. Maybe Interactive Brokers? I also used to have an account with Oanda but the spreads I was getting there were horrible and not really competitive in any way.

Thank you. That's nice of you! I'm still tearing my hair out trying to figure out how the values in DARWIN are calculated. DARWIN Return (since inception): 1.52% Max. drawdown: -2.48% DARWIN target risk: 6.50 % Current risk ratio: x0.49 Signal ...

My Darwin was created today. Current risk ratio: x0.49 Based on the stats available now I still can’t see how exactly the risk multiplier got calculated.
