Biggest mistake you might do , run away

if there was less than one star i would give it to this big scam run away, they don't answer me anymore , when you want to pay for a subscription its right away, i tried to get allocation with them while paying subscription for 3 months , and when i'am finally eligible for allocation they answer that i didn't while I send them all proof that i was eligible and i'm 100% sure about that, they don't want to update my account performance , and they just refuse to answer my request, im going to ask for refund it they refuse i will hunt them in uk with every organisation of consumer protection and every law court, biggest mistake of my life i trusted those scumbags

I've been with Darwinex since the beginning

I've been with Darwinex since (almost) the beginning. I initially joined because I had a bad experience with my previous broker. However, little did I know at that time, but Darwinex is so much more than just a broker. They offer brokerage services (which are excellent btw) to serve their higher vision of allowing traders to attract investor capital. This is their huge USP. I have never once had a bad experience, and can safely say I am Darwinex through and through.

overall a good broker.. leverage is a joke

overall a good broker... BUT leverage on indices is only 1:20 for retail and max 1:25 for Elective professional clients. This is a joke!

Thank you for your comments in regard to the leverage we offer (https://www.darwinex.com/forex-cfds/forex). The leverage we provide helps us protect ourselves from unexpected markets movements (since we have to compensate the negative balance of any trading account to meet the regulatory requirements) as well as our clients capital, whether they are retail or professional.

Please, bear in mind that the main source of income of successful traders at Darwinex is not the profit obatined with their own capital leveraging it to the maximum possible, but rather based on getting paid a 15% performance fee for the profit made with the capital that investors allocate into the trader's strategy, and investors capital is certainly more that your own capital even with the highest leverage you can find.

We have paid close to 5M USD in performance fees up to the moment of this post (https://www.darwinex.com/darwinia/hall-of-fame).

One of the few legit brokers

I am taking some time to leave a review for one of the best broker company that is around since 2012 and is FCA regulated. I had great experience with Darwinex because of their product and the technology behind, that allows traders to maximise their strategies. The Darwin concept is something completely different from other platforms, and in my opinion next level of trades platform. I use Darwinex as a trader but also as an investor. Highly recommended!!

1% withdrawal fee? crazy these days

Max leverage on commodities for Elective Professional is 1:12... laughable... another "great" thing is 1% withdrawal fee back to my credit card, from 10k this means €100 fee just to get your money back... while all my other brokers have this withdrawal free of charge... disappointing overall

Thank you for your comments Mick. You are correct, we charge a 1% commission for withdrawals to your card so this is a depositing method recomended for smaller amounts since a withdrawal to your bank account is only 3.75 GBP independently of the currency and amount you withdraw. Certainly, depositing 10K through card and then pay 100 EUR to withdraw them to your card is not a good choice.

You can check our depositing and withdrawal conditions in this link: https://www.darwinex.com/deposits-withdrawals

Regarding maximum leverge in commodities for professional clients (https://www.darwinex.com/es/forex-cfds/forex/professional?pathPrefix=uk) you are correct, although we currently offer 1:20 for silver and gold and 1:16 for gas and oil. Please, bear in mind that we are a conservative broker that takes little to no exposure against our clients. This means that we are safer in case of a flash crash or similar events in comparison with other brokers. Darwinex is a place where you can make profit mainly by managing third party capital and getting paid 15% of the profit made, while having a leverage high enough to implement your strategy and trade with your own funds.

Gotta love it!

I think that the idea behind Darwinex is awesome. Been trading with them for 4 years and have withdrawn couple times with no problems. A new Darwin based on my strategy has just become available today (AYC) .
Recently they raised the leverage for investors to 1:4.
This means that when investing in a Darwin, you can make 4 times as much as the Darwin shows. Obviously, the risk will also be 4 times higher. It will be 26% and not 6.5%. But this only means that less money can be invested while reaching the same result.

Darwinex is #1 on many levels

Quite happy with my experience with Darwinex so far. been trading currencies with Darwinex for a little over two years (started learning about forex early in 2020 and darwinex was my first experience with any broker). Since then I have tried out 2 other brokerages and they didnt even compare. I am now 100% invested in Darwinex, have a couple of decent strategies and am focused on the DarwinIA aspect and am actually having fun. I have transferred money into and out of my account using my bank card, my bank account and now am using Skrill and even when I had questions, they were fast at responding and every transfer went through in a decent amount of time.
Will continue to recommend Darwinex to anyone wanting to explore forex. Thank you Darwinex for being a fantastic brokerage with traders as your number one priority!

DARWINEX

Excellent for traders without commercial capital. I recommend them to anyone who wants to trade as a hedge fund manager! Correct, with excellent communication in correspondence!

Just created a Darwin

I have just created a Darwin on the basis of my trading strategy in currencies and have so far had quite pleasant experience with Darwinex and the platform they have created. The platform is a bit complicated for an average trader or investor but at the same time it has most of the attributes that I need.

Withdrawal is stuck

Withdrawal is stuck. Still on pending after 4 working days.

Website shown 1-3 days but it doesn't seem like that is the case.

Contacted support but nothing fruitful yet.

Will update the review again once they get back to me.

Deposited via Skrill and withdraw via Skrill thus I don't see any issue and had never experienced such delay and issue from any other brokerage.

I will think twice before depositing my fund again in Darwinex.

A reliable company.

I have known this broker since 2015. In addition to being headquartered in a top notch jurisdiction, I consider Darwinex a reliable company, with which I have never had problems with withdrawals. Whenever I needed, the customer support worked quickly and courteously. For traders, trading conditions are good with regard to commissions and execution. For investors, they provide an innovative investment asset, which is a product derived from clients' trading strategies, monitored and valued in real time by the broker's proprietary algorithms. No complaints.

I have been using Darwinex very well…

I have been using Darwinex very well now for 2 months and have encountered no problems especially with regard to withdrawing funds, as mentioned by other contributors, which is as easy as dealing with ones own bank.
I believe that Darwinex is now a well established broker with a truly unique offering that enables retail investors to invest in top traders and benefit directly from their success, whilst managing risk effectively. Could be a future game changer in the financial markets.
