Firm Rules

• Darwinex Zero is not a typical prop firm. Instead of passing a challenge, traders build a track record and attract investor capital over time. The system focuses on skill, consistency, and risk management, rather than profit targets.
• 🔹 1. Entry Phase (Virtual Trading Account)
• Traders subscribe and receive a virtual trading account
• No personal capital is at risk
• Trade real market conditions (MT4/MT5 supported)
• Monthly subscription fee applies
• No profit target or time limit
• This phase is focused on building trading history.
• 🔹 2. Calibration Phase
• Minimum trading activity required (example: ~15 trading days, 25 trades)
• System evaluates:
• Risk management
• Consistency
• Strategy stability
• Trading behavior is analyzed using Darwinex’s proprietary risk engine
• Once completed, your strategy becomes investable.
• 🔹 3. DARWIN Index Creation
• Your trading strategy is converted into a DARWIN (tradable index)
• Risk is normalized automatically to ensure fair comparison
• Investors can allocate capital based on performance
• No fixed profit targets — performance is ongoing
• This is the core difference from prop firms.
• 🔹 4. Capital Allocation (Funding Stage)
• Traders receive capital through:
• DarwinIA competitions (monthly allocations)
• Investor funding based on track record
• Boosters (optional purchased capital)
• Up to millions in investor capital possible
• Allocation depends purely on performance quality
• 🔹 General Trading Rules
• No strict drawdown rules like prop firms
• Strong focus on risk-adjusted returns (VaR system)
• No time pressure or forced targets
• Strategy must remain consistent
• Over-risk trading is penalized by the system
• 🔹 Funded “Live” Model
• No traditional funded account
• Instead, traders manage investor capital indirectly
• Earnings come from performance fees
• Long-term consistency is required to grow capital

Payout Policy

• Darwinex Zero uses a performance fee model, not a standard prop firm payout system. Instead of withdrawing profits directly from trades, traders earn a percentage of profits generated on investor capital allocated to their strategy.
• The standard payout structure is based on a 15% performance fee, meaning traders receive 15% of the profits they generate for investors. This is similar to how hedge fund managers earn income.
• Unlike prop firms:
• There are no fixed payout cycles like 7 or 14 days
• Earnings depend on investor capital allocation and performance
• Payments are based on a High Water Mark model, meaning traders only earn fees on new profits
• Traders can receive capital from multiple sources:
• DarwinIA monthly competitions
• Boosters (virtual capital allocations)
• External investors
• Payouts are typically processed:
• Monthly or quarterly depending on capital type
• Minimum withdrawal threshold applies (commonly €100) (community-based info)
• Another key feature is that traders can scale indefinitely. The more consistent and stable the performance, the more investor capital they attract. Some traders manage hundreds of thousands to millions in capital over time.
• However, payouts are strictly tied to:
• Risk-adjusted performance
• Strategy stability
• Consistency over time
• There are no shortcuts or instant withdrawals, making Darwinex Zero more suitable for long-term traders rather than quick-profit seekers.
