FAQ

To get started, just create an account with Darwinex and invest in our Darwin ECC. After that, you can sit back and watch your investment grow.
Alternatively, you may request that your account be connected directly to the algorithm, which can significantly increase the risk/reward ratio.
I work exclusively with brokers accredited by the relevant government authorities to protect your investment and ensure compliance with all legal requirements.
Darwinex is a reputable FCA-registered broker, and all investments on their platform are protected under applicable laws.
For direct integration with the algorithm mainframe in the UK market, I use IG, a widely recognised broker fully protected by the FCA.
Darwin ECC is managed and overseen by Darwinex, which imposes several restrictions to safeguard customer capital. Consequently, Darwin typically delivers a significantly lower return on investment than direct market access. Additionally, Darwin’s minimum investment is currently set at 500 USD/EUR/GBP.
Copy trading enables full engagement of invested capital, which can substantially increase the risk-to-reward ratio. Due to the nature of trading and the use of a separate investment account, the minimum investment for Copy Trading is set at 2000 USD/EUR/GBP.

Darwinex charges a 20% Performance Fee on any 3rd party profit in DARWINs using the HWM (high-water mark) method and 1.2% p.a. Management Fee.

Direct access and copy trading I only charge 20% Performance Fee using the HWM (high-water mark). 

The high-water mark (HWM) is a widely recognised standard in the asset management industry, serving as a benchmark for determining the fees that investment managers are entitled to receive.
Application of this method ensures that managers receive fees only for profits generated in the current period, without overlap from prior periods.
Consider an example illustrating the progress of an investment over four consecutive quarters, assuming the investor remains fully invested throughout.
 
The graph illustrates the calculation of the high-water mark (HWM) over successive months.
In the third month, HWM1 is determined based on the profit generated during the quarter, which amounts to £10,000.
In the subsequent quarter, no new HWM is established because a loss of £7,000 reduces the cumulative profit to £3,000. At the end of the third quarter, profit surpasses HWM1 by £1,000, establishing HWM2. Performance fees are then calculated on the difference between HWM2 (£11,000) and HWM1 (£10,000), representing £1,000 in additional profit.
 
Performance fee is assessed on a quarterly basis for each investment and each investor. Additional investments by the same investor in the same product do not alter the quarter’s commencement date.
At the end of each quarter, if the previous high-water mark is exceeded, 20% of the net profit (including both closed and open profit) generated during the quarter is charged to the investor.

HOW CAN I
HELP YOU?

I created Darwin ECC so everyone can benefit from my solution. For those who want full access to the algorithm, I also developed software that allows complete integration. This option is available by invitation. If you think it could help you and would like to request an invitation, please reach out via the Contact Us page.
