The March edition of our DarwinIA trading challenge came to its end. Below you can find the 48 winners of our € 4,000,000 notional allocation for a 6 month period (yes, you read well: Darwinex Reloaded has doubled the prizes due to the DARWINS’ risk being lower!).

Nuestros traders ya pueden abrir, en plataforma MT4 y MT5, 0.1 lotes del índice WS30 en vez del mínimo de 1 que permitíamos anteriormente.
Our traders can now open, on the MT4 and MT5 platforms, 0.1 lots of the WS30 index instead of the minimum of 1 that we previously allowed.
In addition, following our strategy of continuous improvement, we have substantially narrowed the average spread of the WS30 to a target spread of 2 points during US opening hours. Commissions and swaps remain unchanged.

* XAUUSD closes a minute earlier, and opens a minute later than the rest of Commodities in Darwinex as shown in the table of Darwinex assets and spreads.
Please note during Easter Holidays, swaps will be charged in a different way than on normal weeks. There may be days with swap x6 charges and days without any swap charges at all. The amount of the swap will be similar to that of normal weeks, the only thing that changes is the way it’s charged. The swap rates that appear on our site generally get updated around 19:00 BST and may suffer only minor changes afterwards.
Also note that on Friday, April 10th the US market will be closed. Fx spreads thus may widen considerably. Both traders and investors should avoid setting tight stop loss levels.
The DARWIN Exchange will remain open even if the underlying assets’ market is closed. Should you want to know the standard procedure when you buy/sell a DARWIN whose underlying asset market is closed, we recommend you to read the following Knowledge Base article: Can I buy and sell DARWINs whenever I want?
Do not hesitate to contact us at info@darwinex.com for support.
Happy Easter!

Specific to XAUUSD, liquidity within the futures market remains thin and unstable mainly because refineries are shutting down and it is impossible to move metal. We are doing our best to […]

We introduce you to the new style of DarwinIA information and ranking pages, our monthly capital allocation.
Let’s face it – the previous version was too complex – trying to explain how it worked, how to enter plus the standings for the month was just too much.
The Leaderboard ranked all participating DARWINs by rating. Running month rankings and final winners lacked visual distinction. Not to mention when DARWIN providers checked their own standings… and to top things off – legacy standings were only available from our blog :-(.
We’ve split information in two:
Both pages are now mobile-friendly as well!
The Hall of Fame! Expect a major redesign later this year!
Do you like the new DarwinIA design? As always, your comments and feedback are welcome.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. -- % of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider.
