There are plenty of traders who show skill and knowledge during their first year at darwinex and then fade away.I understand some were lucky,but that is not the major reason for fading away.Traders are after quick success and competitive.
It would be more productive if they treated this as a serious,long-term business. Anybody who is not prepared to work consistently and seriously for at least 10 years,is wasting their time here and wasting darwinex infrastructure,basically polluting rankings and misleading investors.
Most investors,including me,lose because they invest into promising darwins who just fade away.
For me this represents
lack of alpha,not in the sense of lack of edge,but
lack of entrepreneurship spirit.
Also traders and investors(retail) suffer from lack of awareness what is reasonable in terms of Return and Risk.
Here is a good link to study what
Hedge-fund industry delivers to their qualified investors on average long-term:

You can look up for averages of various categories of hedge-funds...
Darwins are calibrated somewhat in terms of Risk like these entities.
Retail investors cannot invest in them and investments are locked,not liquid like here, where retail investor can exit any working day he wants.There you also have entry and exit fees,while here you pay nothing of that sort.
Infrastructure that darwinex offers is good for Retailers.
