I traded Darwins in 2020 in my portfolio published here for some days more than 6 months.The other avenue which only now I am starting to explore is to trade the Darwins, i.e. scalping, based on timing entries, stops and take profits, RRR, hit rate, and so on.
you wouldn't consider another option?I am exploring ways to make money from Darwins on the "Investor" platform. After 7 months and a portfolio loss of 3%, I am starting to doubt it is possible to do so using only the basic techniques of porfolio management (*).
Has anybody ever made money investing in Darwins (other than Darwinex)???
(*) To me the basic techniques of portfolio managment are:
Selection: which asset (which Darwin)
Allocation: how much of an asset
Diversification: how many different assets
Correlation: how different the assets

Obviously I am not excluding that possibility, but my post to which you so kindly replied is about whether the other possibility logically can be excluded or not.you wouldn't consider another option?
if after 7 months, in this market, you've made a loss, you have to be asking yourself could you not have done better yourself
Yes, I did see the 6-month screenshots of your "Model Portfolio" but I was not sure whether it was a live portfolio, with returns after divergence and fees, or just in Demo mode. Is it really real?I am making money, result for 2020 is +5%
You can find it in my portfolio discussion.
10 darwins, equally weighted, buy and hold.
With 3 years of painful learning as far as I remember it right.It is difficult, I took me 4 years to find the right ones and thousand of hours of study.
Just a hint derived from a video of a professional future trader (I like a lot of his statements):There is still hope for us dummies

Many thanks for this recommendation. QXS looks poised to become the kind of Darwin in which I would be likely to invest, given a longer record of success. Do keep up the good work, which seems to be the ultimate challenge for most.Hi Morehaselessspeed.
Have a look at the Darwins I use and 8 portfolio options I update on. Portfolios 1-6 (which I use) all did 9,5%+ before commission for the month of January.
Attached is a spreadsheet of Portfolio combinations for January and the new selections for February. There are only 12 Darwins currently from the 3000 that meet all the criteria for a Darwin that have the traits of a strategy with a true edge in the market. I have created a list of these Darwins and 4 of my own and I update them on a monthly basis. You can view it here.
In the file attached, you can update the portfolio returns by filling in their returns for the current month just below the Darwins name in the February sheet. This way you can compare your own portfolio against a few of our options that give the best returns.
I have a mailing list where I update Investors on the best Darwins, Portfolios, and exactly the Basic techniques you mentioned for portfolio management in your post. You can join if you want, just drop me a mail at [email protected] (put "add to mailing list" in the topic), or join on my website www.justnextlevel.net, and I will update add you or anyone else that wants to join.
Hope it helps.
No problem, only a pleasure.Many thanks for this recommendation. QXS looks poised to become the kind of Darwin in which I would be likely to invest, given a longer record of success. Do keep up the good work, which seems to be the ultimate challenge for most.
