Yes, true. But it’s also possible you buy a booster after x drawdown and your drawdown will even increase from there on.

Got it. Yes, i was only referring to the time aspect in regards to the discounted prices for the boosters. I like to keep things simple. Stacking boosters every week/months over one or even several darwin’s sounds like a lot of „operational time“ ...

A 3-month 25k booster costs a one-time fee of $140. If you had to repurchase it every 3 months, you would pay $140 twelve times over the 3 years. That's a total cost of $1680. A 3-year 25k booster costs a one-time fee of $505. Have I missed ...

I still don't quite understand, but it's okay. A 25k booster that costs $140 for 3 months seems far more expensive than a 25k booster for 36 months that costs $505 or what I am missing?

How did you arrive at that calculation? From 500 to 10000? What was done, and over what period of time?

darwin discussion

Yes, whether it's tactically smart to pay upfront for the maximum allocation of boosters for three years is another question. I was just looking at the costs and the potential profit one could expect if, as Pip says, one were to make 3% per month. I ...

All the boosters can be purchased for 3 years. The maximum allocation of boosters over 3 years, consisting of two 200k boosters and one 100k booster (500k total), would cost $9,945. A 3% monthly return compounded over 36 months results in a total ...

Can you quantify how much active trading time (in hours) you invested in the 3 Darwins over the 13 months, how much in fees you incurred, and what you received in payouts? Do you still aim for Gold/Investors over virtual allocations/ boosters etc.?

darwin discussion

Great! How long did it take you to reach gold with your Darwin? I stopped all trading-related activities for the last two months and also took a break from all screens. The last system I tried yielded mixed results. I'll have to see how/if things ...

Happy New Year to you all! Just canceled my Darwinex Zero subscription. I started at the worst possible time, suffered a -5% drawdown in December. The maximum drawdown ncreased to 8%. Another 45 euros down the drain... The only good thing was a ...

Happy new year!

My new Darwin was created today. Reducing the number of markets from 5 to 3 and decreasing the position size per order from 0.25% to 0.20% has given me a current risk factor of x1.35 as compared to x0.50 with my previous Darwin. Return (since ...

Great post. 100% agree!

Yes, I think this is the logical consequence of thousands of failures and setbacks over the last 15 years. My self-confidence is pretty low. That's my impression too. No single strategy works in all conditions. Discretionary traders likely have an ...

I don't quite understand that statement. With a filter, I'm not trying to change the strategy itself, but as you say, simply to increase the chances of success for the entry trigger and to get fewer "false breakouts." I hate that word because it's ...

Thanks. Yes, that's my impression too. It's not my developer. It's the author from whom I bought the ORB system. I'll send you the link right away. No, I don't actually want to trade ready-made black-box systems or signals, but I'm starting to feel ...

Hey. I don't know anything about PoC, and this isn't a thread for PoC. I'd advise you to start your own thread about it. No offense.

The answers, by the way, came from Google Search AI (Gemini), not GPT. I spent a few more hours researching yesterday and today, and from many different sources (not just AI), I'm getting the overwhelming impression that implied volatility might be ...
