I am part of the Darwinex team ask me anything

[Blayn Marshall]

What's about "Darwinex Labs" in that link https://community.darwinexzero.com/darwinia-world/leaderboard.html?

1) Are theses Darwinex's own Darwins, employee Darwins or the Darwins used for feeding INDX?

2) How many different Darwinex "investors" are the maximum for allocations, boosters and INDX?

The reason for this question is that I asume that they are counted as investors and their investment is listed. IMO that dilutes the content and the meaning of numbers of "investors" and "Investors capital" in the filters. The INDX investor(s) could be taken as real investors but the Darwinex hedge investor(s) cannot.

Apologies for the major late response. I get notifications in the past if there was a reply and not checked in to see if any other questions have popped up. Bad move on my behalf.

To answer your question the DarwinexLabs is our own proprietary investment arm that invests real capital of our own. Some of the Labs goon to feature within the INDX too.

To answer your second question there are the obvious which you will know of being DarwinIA and boosters (boosters are capped at 500k max) we also have darwinexLabs (No cap). We have INDX (again no cap and as it grows so will the trader) we also have AMC where High net worth investors can invest in Darwins (min is normally 100k)

Darwinex Hedge is listed on the investors lab within the dashboard but you do not make performance fees from them as they are there to hedge the DarwinIA allocations or boosters

@Blay
Hello,
I would like to ask whether a Darwin that is created by the classic method (open MT5 account, deposit my real fund and trade until open Darwin). I call it a classic Darwin.
My question is can we purchase booster packages for classic Darwins?

Thanks for the question and sorry about delayed response! You can get boosters with a brokerage (classic account) although you need to sign into your account via the darwinex zero website not the darwinex website. From there you will be able to purchase boosters

Darwin BTFQ: Can you explain, why this Darwin has such a high use of capacity as it only has 3 investors (at least one could be the Darwinex hedge user) and just 34.6k of invested capital?

Yes so the Problem with this Darwin is they are getting high slippage and when a Darwin gets higher slippage it is not good for the investors hence why you will see through the history of this Darwin it has been closed to investors several times. Upon review this Darwin has been getting heavily slipped on gold which is why its used capacity is so high. The traders Capacity could be massive but the risk engines job is to protect investors first.

There are ways to get around it with some simple small changes and its something we have made an article on. If the person order split and avoided trading exact on the hour then in theory you should get a better fill rate. Also if the person uses small stop losses then slippage effects them more than someone that has a lot wider stop loss.
