New Darwinex Filters

21 July 2016

As the number of DARWINS listed on our exchange keeps growing by the day, many investors on our platform reach out to us asking how to build their portfolio.

With this in mind and in order to make life easier for our investors, we are introducing the brand new Darwinex Filters. These new filters are now available for everyone in the DARWINS section on our website.

How do the new filters work?

The new Darwinex filters are an intuitive tool to pick new DARWINS for your portfolio. At the top left corner of the DARWINS leaderboard you’ll find different filter criteria. If you click any of the available filters, DARWINS will be automatically filtered.

What filters are available?

There are currently 6 different filters available, namely:

Top Invested: This filter contains the 20 DARWINS with more investors’ capital.
Good Scores: DARWINS in this filter have good scores in all the attributes (scalability is not taken into account for the purpose of this filter).
Quote > 200: These DARWINS have won more than 100% since they were listed and, hence have a quote higher than 200.
On Fire: This filter contains the 20 DARWINS that yielded the best returns in the last 3 months while keeping a moderate drawdown level.
Promising: These DARWINS have still a low experience but they achieved good scores in their investable attributes.
Trending: This filter contains the 20 DARWINS that got more new investors during the last month.

Also, you are more than welcome to set up your own filter criteria so you can select DARWINS by pretty much any criterion you can think of by clicking the “Set up new filter” button.

More filters are underway!

New filters are coming soon, not to mention the new features that we are working on (you’ll love them!)… the best is yet to come!

On Sunday June 24th, 2018, the first round of general elections will be held in Turkey.

If you plan to stay in the market during the weekend in pairs related to the Turkish lira (USDTRY, EURTRY y GPBTRY), please make sure you post margin / equity in your account as volatility is expected to increase heading into the elections and upon Sunday’s market open. Although we are not planning to introduce changes to our margin requirements, please be informed that Darwinex reserves the right to change margin requirements as we move closer to the elections and depending on the outcome.

Should we decide to introduce any changes to our trading conditions, we’ll contact you via email, blog post and social media as soon as possible.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at info@darwinex.com should you need assistance.
