Not recommended!

As long as there are no problems, everything works fine. But if you really need support. Then, oh dear.

I opened an IBKR account via Darwinex and for 2 weeks now one support has been pushing the problem on to the next support. And the customer is trapped in the support loop and has been waiting 2 months for his money.

My conclusion. There are much better brokers. Above all, they take care of their customers when something goes wrong.

Thank you for your comments, neverthless, as explained specifically in our support provided, you need to call IBKR for verbal confirmation of your withdrawal request.

Thanks in advance for your collaboration.

You cannot reduce your max drawdown so…

You cannot reduce your max drawdown so if you have a bad couple of days and then return the equity on the account or exceed it the max DD remains. As the funding is heavily weighted on max drawdown regardless of how well you do you cannot then get to the max funding

You are correct, drawdown, by definition (maximum accumulated loss in equity from the highest point of equity in your trading history) is something that does not change even with future performance.

If you make a 10% return on 100.000 USD, the equity of your trading account would be 110.000 USD, and if your have a loss of 10.000 USD, you would have a maximum historical drawdown of (10.000 / 110.000) * 100 = 9,09% regardless of your future performance.

Maximum drawdown only weights 11% on the calcualtion to receive capital allocations and we only consider the maximum drawdown in the past 6 months.

Please, contact us in info@darwinex.com if you need more information in this regard and we will be back to you as soon as possible.

Great alternative to scammy props

Awesome platform for expierienced traders and quantitative geeks. Whole idea of funding this way, reaching investors, monthly contests with initial funding and tons of stats/metrics in very good looking UX is simply motivating and awesome to everyday use. Also worth mentioning is great level of darwinex support - my go to man is Luis Víctor, so far never left me with anything unanswered, always helping with all details. Keep up guys this great initiative!

You are correct Lukasz, although we may want to simply the platform in the future, we will always maintain a layer for an in depth analysis of the DARWINs and trading strategies so it suits all kinds of needs.

I will make sure my colleague Luis Víctor is aware of your mention.

It is so refreshing to finally find a company that wants their traders to be consistent and are happy when you make money, great support, and trading conditions are great.

If you are happy with your trading, want to build a track record and want to attract investors then this is the place for you, if you still have the prop firm gambling mentality then it is not, this is for serious traders only

well done Darwinex, I am looking forward to seeing you grow

You are correct, consistency in risk and returns is very valuable in the Darwinex environment firstly for your own performance and potentially to get capital allocations both from us and from third party investors.

We hope you can take full advantage of Darwinex for your trading and capital management goals.

the worst prop firm ever

the worst prop firm ever, just don't spend a dime you will just waste your money, support almost doesn't exist it feels like you bother them when you ask for something, and they can just ignore you emails (the only way to contact them by the way) and there is absolutely nothing you can do, all they care about is selling subscriptions . total scam

Biggest mistake you might do , run away

if there was less than one star i would give it to this big scam run away, they don't answer me anymore , when you want to pay for a subscription its right away, i tried to get allocation with them while paying subscription for 3 months , and when i'am finally eligible for allocation they answer that i didn't while I send them all proof that i was eligible and i'm 100% sure about that, they don't want to update my account performance , and they just refuse to answer my request, im going to ask for refund it they refuse i will hunt them in uk with every organisation of consumer protection and every law court, biggest mistake of my life i trusted those scumbags

I've been with Darwinex since the beginning

I've been with Darwinex since (almost) the beginning. I initially joined because I had a bad experience with my previous broker. However, little did I know at that time, but Darwinex is so much more than just a broker. They offer brokerage services (which are excellent btw) to serve their higher vision of allowing traders to attract investor capital. This is their huge USP. I have never once had a bad experience, and can safely say I am Darwinex through and through.

Thank you for your comments in regard to the leverage we offer (https://www.darwinex.com/forex-cfds/forex). The leverage we provide helps us protect ourselves from unexpected markets movements (since we have to compensate the negative balance of any trading account to meet the regulatory requirements) as well as our clients capital, whether they are retail or professional.

Please, bear in mind that the main source of income of successful traders at Darwinex is not the profit obatined with their own capital leveraging it to the maximum possible, but rather based on getting paid a 15% performance fee for the profit made with the capital that investors allocate into the trader's strategy, and investors capital is certainly more that your own capital even with the highest leverage you can find.

We have paid close to 5M USD in performance fees up to the moment of this post (https://www.darwinex.com/darwinia/hall-of-fame).

One of the few legit brokers

I am taking some time to leave a review for one of the best broker company that is around since 2012 and is FCA regulated. I had great experience with Darwinex because of their product and the technology behind, that allows traders to maximise their strategies. The Darwin concept is something completely different from other platforms, and in my opinion next level of trades platform. I use Darwinex as a trader but also as an investor. Highly recommended!!

1% withdrawal fee? crazy these days

Max leverage on commodities for Elective Professional is 1:12... laughable... another "great" thing is 1% withdrawal fee back to my credit card, from 10k this means €100 fee just to get your money back... while all my other brokers have this withdrawal free of charge... disappointing overall

Thank you for your comments Mick. You are correct, we charge a 1% commission for withdrawals to your card so this is a depositing method recomended for smaller amounts since a withdrawal to your bank account is only 3.75 GBP independently of the currency and amount you withdraw. Certainly, depositing 10K through card and then pay 100 EUR to withdraw them to your card is not a good choice.

You can check our depositing and withdrawal conditions in this link: https://www.darwinex.com/deposits-withdrawals

Regarding maximum leverge in commodities for professional clients (https://www.darwinex.com/es/forex-cfds/forex/professional?pathPrefix=uk) you are correct, although we currently offer 1:20 for silver and gold and 1:16 for gas and oil. Please, bear in mind that we are a conservative broker that takes little to no exposure against our clients. This means that we are safer in case of a flash crash or similar events in comparison with other brokers. Darwinex is a place where you can make profit mainly by managing third party capital and getting paid 15% of the profit made, while having a leverage high enough to implement your strategy and trade with your own funds.

Gotta love it!

I think that the idea behind Darwinex is awesome. Been trading with them for 4 years and have withdrawn couple times with no problems. A new Darwin based on my strategy has just become available today (AYC) .
Recently they raised the leverage for investors to 1:4.
This means that when investing in a Darwin, you can make 4 times as much as the Darwin shows. Obviously, the risk will also be 4 times higher. It will be 26% and not 6.5%. But this only means that less money can be invested while reaching the same result.

Darwinex is #1 on many levels

Quite happy with my experience with Darwinex so far. been trading currencies with Darwinex for a little over two years (started learning about forex early in 2020 and darwinex was my first experience with any broker). Since then I have tried out 2 other brokerages and they didnt even compare. I am now 100% invested in Darwinex, have a couple of decent strategies and am focused on the DarwinIA aspect and am actually having fun. I have transferred money into and out of my account using my bank card, my bank account and now am using Skrill and even when I had questions, they were fast at responding and every transfer went through in a decent amount of time.
Will continue to recommend Darwinex to anyone wanting to explore forex. Thank you Darwinex for being a fantastic brokerage with traders as your number one priority!

Just created a Darwin

I have just created a Darwin on the basis of my trading strategy in currencies and have so far had quite pleasant experience with Darwinex and the platform they have created. The platform is a bit complicated for an average trader or investor but at the same time it has most of the attributes that I need.
