How old are you?
Are you working for Darwinex full time?
What is your education and your previous job(s) ?

 

[Blayn Marshall]

Hey, I am 29 and yes I am full time at Darwinex as well as a trader still. my education is mechanical engineering which led me to algo trading while was at university many many years ago. For the most part trading has been my income source but I did work part time in retail for many years.

Can you share any additional info about INDX?
How many darwins patecipate the index?
What is the rotation of the portfolio?

 

[Blayn Marshall]

The INDX is just a portfolio made up of the best Darwins where the Darwinex Labs team hand-picks trading talent based on strict metrics. These are then rotated on asset exposure , loss aversion and lots of other metrics to preserve overall risk. Right now there is about 200ish Darwins involved in the INDX. Kieran Made a presentation on it all that I can share the link although it is quite lengthy.

Let me know if there was anything else you want to know

Hi there is there a way to find out with out checking every individual Darwin what asset class it trades. For example OIl, Gold, Indexes from a high level top view. Now I have to check every Darwin individually. If I believe an asset will be active at a certain period it will be easy to pick up the Darwin trading the asset. It will be nice also to have a description of the type of trade the Darwin uses. Manual, algo, grid, scalping, trend following etc. Thanks

The closest thing we have at the moment is - https://community.darwinexzero.com/darwinia-world/leaderboard.html

Here it can be filter by asset classes etc. Regarding types of trades We could do that but then the trader could in turn change their trading style at any given time meaning it would be false advertising on our behalf. People can put a description on their classic Darwin bios if they chose.

Few put the description on the bios. Did not know of the link good to know it helps to to have an overview is this accessible from with in the Darwinex platform? Type of trading it would be helpful...they can change but usually traders do not they stick to their plan. More info helps one pick a Darwin...Thanks.
