With Darwinex Zero we discovered that inconsistent risk, grid and martingale systems, and frequent restarts after drawdowns lead to poor ratings and lost allocations. What Darwinex truly rewards are long-term, trend-following strategies with steady risk, consistent lot sizes, and controlled drawdowns in the Darwin — not just on MetaTrader — favoring disciplined trading over short-term gains or recovery-based systems.
When trading with iFunds, we found that spreads widen significantly around news events, making it critical to use strategies with a built-in news filter. Additionally, if the broker charges high swap fees for overnight positions or pauses trading overnight — increasing the risk of price gaps at market reopening — strategies with strict time management or session filters are strongly recommended. Furthermore, grid systems can easily exceed the 10% drawdown limit, making them unsuitable for iFunds as well.
