United KingdomSummary
Darwinex Zero works differently: no challenge, just a monthly subscription. Your strategy becomes an investable index (a DARWIN), and if its rating exceeds 75, Darwinex allocates real capital to it.
The most professional model for consistent traders, but not for making money fast.
Programs
A subscription of €38 per month (€405 per year, €1,095 for three years). You trade a virtual account on MetaTrader, with no profit target and no risk of losing a challenge fee.
Through the DarwinIA program, a rating of 75 or more guarantees a monthly allocation, up to €500,000 at the Gold stage, and potentially external investor capital.
Payouts
You earn 15% of the profits generated on the real capital allocated to your strategy. This is not a classic prop firm split: it is a performance fee.
