Be aware that trading of forex, stocks, futures, options and contracts for difference on indices, commodities, metals, energy assets and cryptocurrencies carries a significant level of risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Values of forex, stocks, futures options and contracts for difference on indices, commodities, metals, energy assets and cryptocurrencies may fluctuate wildly and lead to traders/investors losing more than their original investment. The highly leveraged nature of forex, stocks, options, futures and CFD trading means that small price moves will have a significant impact on your trading capital and can work against you, leading to large losses, or work in your favour and produce large gains.


A market move contrary to your trades can wipe out your account and cause you to sustain losses exceeding your account capital. Do not engage in trading except you have fully understood the nature of the transactions you will be entering into, and the extent of your potential losses. You are solely responsible for all the financial resources you use, the trading system you deploy and the trading decisions you make. Seek independent advice from your investment/financial advisor if you do not fully understand these risks.

COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

In some ways similar to eToro, Darwinex also brands itself as a “social trading” broker, offering retail traders tools that let them examine other trader’s strategies and risk profiles, and then choose whether or not to follow that trader’s strategy.

However, Darwinex differentiates itself from eToro and other “social trading” brokers by focusing on identifying and copying good trading strategies, and not on copying other people’s trades. Traders who already have a profitable trading strategy can choose to list their strategy on Darwinex and receive a 20% success fee from the profits made by other traders who used one’s own strategy.

The Darwinex brokerage brand first got registered in 2014 and is owned by Tradeslide Trading Tech Limited, a UK-based company regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under license number 586466. The broker is present with office locations in London and Madrid.

Darwinex is a standard straight-through processing (STP) and no-dealing desk (NDD) broker, fully compliant with the new EU regulations from 2018. As a consequence of that, leverage for EU-based traders is limited to 1:30 unless you qualify as a professional trader.

The trading platforms offered by Darwinex are the widely used MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms, with the main difference between them being that share trading is only available on MT5.

A unique feature of Darwinex is their “hedge fund as a service” model that lets profitable traders trade with the broker’s own capital – up to EUR 24 million – and earn 20% of the profits he generates for the firm.

Further, the broker has an interesting “Scout” program that is set up to bring more experienced and profitable traders into the Darwinex ecosystem. Under this program, eligible traders can earn up to USD 10,000 for referring what the broker calls “a good trader.”

In terms of instruments available for trading, Darwinex pretty much has it all covered, with choices including all popular currency pairs, and CFDs based on equity indices, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. Spreads are generally low and transparent, with a live spread table for major FX pairs available on the website. At the time of this writing, spreads on the EUR/USD were as low as 0.1.

Deposits and withdrawals on Darwinex are carried out as you would expect from any broker. For retail clients, a minimum initial deposit of 500 EUR/USD/GBP applies, and for corporate clients the minimum is 10,000 EUR/USD/GBP. Subsequent deposits can be of any amount, but be aware that Darwinex charges a 5 EUR/USD/GBP fee for any deposit lower than 500 EUR/USD/GBP. Deposits can be made with major debit and credit cards or bank wire from an account in the name of the Darwinex customer.

Lastly, Darwinex’s customer service is available through email and phone, in addition to an “emergency contact form” on its website for use only in cases when there are problems with live orders or prices on trading instruments.

The website further features a large FAQ section that answers most questions a trader might have about deposits, withdrawals, and trading on the Meta Trader platform. The broker also has an active community forum where traders help each other with everything from developing a portfolio, creating trading strategies, and even tips on how to use the trading platform.

Risk Warning:

The trading of forex and Contracts-for-Difference (CFD) assets trading imposes a high level of risks and is not suited for all traders and investors. As much as trading on foreign exchange markets and Over-the-counter (OTC) CFDs may be potentially profitable, it can also lead to significant losses. You must ensure that you have enough trading experience, knowledge and full comprehension of potential risks involved. Most derivative contracts have high leverage and low margin requirements. Hence, rapid price movements may inflict serious financial damage or even devastate your entire trading account. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
