What it is

Darwinex lets traders turn a live MT4 or MT5 strategy into a DARWIN that investors can put money into.

Which protections you get depends on the entity that opens your account. You choose it when you sign up.

The risk side

Copying trades does not remove risk. Leveraged products like forex and CFDs can lose money fast, a trader you copy can have a bad month, and past results do not promise future results. Only use money you can afford to lose.
