What Is Darwinex Zero
Darwinex Zero is a new revolutionary offering from Darwinex where you can trade on a virtual account while building a track record. That account is run with virtual funds but under real market conditions and allows you to create an investible index (DARWIN).
With that investible asset, the DARWIN, you will start ranking in DarwinIA SILVER from the very first month, which is a monthly contest where your DARWIN competes with other DARWINs to receive and manage Darwinex seed capital.
Winning DarwinIA SILVER is relatively easy and if your trading is robust, you will advance to DarwinIA GOLD, which is the elite top-tier contest where you can receive larger allocations and access to Darwinex investors capital (+100M AuM).
Here are the details:
How Darwinex Zero Can Help You
Darwinex Zero will help you propel your trading career regardless of whether you are a beginner trader, a trader that has struggled to beat the market, or a trader that already beats the market and is looking to attract third-party capital.
All traders enjoy the same conditions when trading under a D-Zero account, the service is the same for all of them regardless of their skill or trading style. However, the experience in D-Zero will be different for you depending on whether you are a trader that already beats the market or not.
D-Zero For Beginner And Developing Traders
If you are beginner or have had a bad experience in the past, D-Zero will be a great help for your trading, here is how:
D-Zero For Managers and Aspiring Managers
If you are a talented trader that can beat the market, D-Zero can help you in the following ways:
How To Become a Manager with Darwinex Zero
Darwinex Zero will provide you with a clear path to follow to become a manager, speeding up the process and allowing you to become investable from the very 1st month of your trading.
The D-Zero path from trader to manager consists of 5 stages:
Darwinex Zero Vs Darwinex “Classic”
Both Darwinex Zero and Darwinex “Classic” are addressed to traders that aim to manage third-party capital and both services allow traders to become investable by listing DARWINs. However, there are some differences and depending on your goals and experience you might prefer one or the other.
The main difference between Darwinex “Classic” and D-Zero is that with the latter you don’t need to open a real account; you evolve in a zero-risk environment while being able to manage investors’ capital in a legal and simple way.
Trading with virtual funds means that your personal capital is not at risk, and this have two clear advantages.
- Psychological factors that affect trading decisions are eliminated. This is quite beneficial even for us, algorithmic traders, because while we are not subject to emotions during the execution of our trades, we do experience emotions like loss aversion when our algorithms win or lose.
- You will not have capital constraints, which means that you can apply whatever risk management you desire.
Finally, the last difference concerns the process to become a manager. In Darwinex “Classic” your DARWIN ranks in DarwinIA GOLD but you will start competing with top-tier elite managers from day 1, which means that unless you come in importing a good track record it will be hard for you to get any allocations during the first year.
Conversely, in D-Zero the process is gradual. At first you will compete in DarwinIA SILVER where it is relatively easy to win allocations and, after a period of time and meeting some criteria, you will move to DarwinIA GOLD and compete with elite traders, so in D-Zero you can start managing Darwinex capital and earn performance fees from the very first month.
D-Zero Vs Funded Accounts
Some might think of D-Zero like funded accounts, but they are not the same, actually they are black and white. Have a look at the comparison below to see how different they are:
Prop Firm Funded Accounts
Business Model
Business model consists of keeping the success rate of their traders below a threshold.
Restrictions
They ask the trader to achieve, in a short period of time, a high profit target while maintaining a low drawdown. This pushes the trader to overleverage thus conditioning its success to luck.
Market Conditions
Many promise to move traders to real and trade with real funds once they pass the evaluations but that never happens. Even worst, some scam their customers by selling them bots that pass their first evaluation but fails on the next.
Control
Prop firms make money selling evaluations, so it is in their interest that traders fail them so they buy again. This means that funded accounts life is short and once terminated the trader is left with nothing to start a new account again.
Earnings
Traders usually get paid about 85% of the profits they make trading the prop firm capital.
Darwinex Zero Accounts
Business Model
Business model consists of getting the highest rate of winning traders for investors.
Restrictions
D-Zero does not impose restrictions on your trading; any strategies are welcome without profit targets, drawdown, and time limits.
Market Conditions
D-Zero accounts trade in a virtual account that simulate real market conditions. This is necessary since DARWINs must replicate the trader’s strategy under real market conditions with the minimum divergence possible.
Control
Darwinex Zero is not about a short-term vision of trading: It pivots on the track record as a fundamental pillar of a successful and sustainable career over time.
Earnings
Traders get paid 15% of the profits their index make to investors as concept of performance fee.
You might see this as a negative point in favor of funded accounts, but the reality is that 15% are wholesale market conditions in the mutual fund and managed products industry – no investor would accept getting just 20% of their investment (Think about it: if the trader makes 10% the investor would get 2%, but if the trader loses 10% then the investor would lose 10%).
How To Join Darwinex Zero
Even though in Darwinex Zero you trade under an account that simulates real-market conditions, you are still on a virtual account, your orders do not get to the real market and you are not assuming any risk. This also means that some regulations do not apply, which makes the sign-up process much faster than normal trading accounts.
D-Zero allows you to trade without risking your own capital, but the service is not free. The service has two fees:
- A sign-up fee, which is a one-off payment of €95 and includes: (i) the trading account, (ii) access to the Training Stage, and (iii) the first month’s participation in DarwinIA seed allocation program.
- A monthly fee of €38, which you start paying when your DARWIN is created and starts competing in DarwinIA (except for the first month which is included in the sign-up fee).
