Ben Trader

Just locked in my first performance sharing from @DarwinexZero — $1K in the bag! Confirmation on the way. It’s a solid start, and we’re only going up from here. More allocation coming soon... this is just the beginning! 🚀

@dmartin_nq This is great insight Martin!

@Tradelikeben Yes. E8 one. The only thing I see is profits are deducted from trades opened 5 minutes before or after news event. This is normal with most firms so I can see past it. Everything else is manageable. Not a 10/10 but the best option I see outside of FTMO

Was looking to purchase based on this offer but apparently alpha capital thinks that automated strategies "rely on aggressive execution models and increased exposure to volatile markets" Basically they are saying if you are a 100% automated trader, your algos are incapable of properly managing risk by themselves and they also won't be able to handle volatile markets. Which if you are an algo trader you know that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. 😅 Very unfortunate because I was looking towards them particularly because of the swing trading option. The only firm that I see viable now is fundingpips and I don't like the new prime thing but I guess I don't have much choice Because there's just no good cfd prop firms for algo traders except FTMO 😒

@dmartin_nq E8 one or signature allows Ea? Would love to explore further as well

@Tradelikeben I've been doing some research and I like E8 so far

My market pulse reader telling me market is in the healthy side. Anyway, we're having NVDA earnings & FED minutes later.

@TheWolf534 @DarwinexZero Thanks mate! Lets go!

@Tradelikeben @DarwinexZero congrats man look nice!

Update im delighted to share, new investor came in earlier. Pushing my AUM to $101k. This is my algo based Darwinexzero ticker. @DarwinexZero

@downlikedefi @DarwinexZero Appreciate!

@Tradelikeben @DarwinexZero Grats!

@PropJoshD @fundexgg @FundedHive Appreciate your insight Josh!

@Tradelikeben @fundexgg @FundedHive I'm not sure as I don't use EA's. Perhaps they can be kind enough to reply to you here with the info.

So a brief update on my @fundexgg and my @FundedHive accounts. Disclaimer: The trading matters are my fault not theirs my results are my results no interpretation necessary beyond that. Fundedhive: +6% Fundex: Breakeven A bit discrepancy I know. Its self inflicted. I am using Ctrader web for fundedhive and mt5 for fundex. When I open a trade on one, I completely forget about the other and either chase an entry when i realize I forgot or just skip it completely and in this market skipping a trade is often a victory. No trading condition etc has determined the result, purely human error. The execution is great at both companies, trading is really trading. I am still head wobbling a bit about the trading costs at fundex but its not really a detriment to my trading. One thing that has happened though is the fundex risk mechanism has kicked in. Overall, I like it - most prop traders who aren't just coinflip gambling should see more longevity in their evaluations with it. Initially it was annoying for two reasons: 1) It appeared out of no where, without some sort of notice 2) It happened when I had trades open and the margin call function really triggers my neurons when I am trading, it had me searching whether I did something or some issue happened. A solution to this would be to email the user clearly upon triggering. Perhaps also limit the change to when the user is flat to avoid full blown panic. I still don't actually know what my leverage is, trial and error of "no money" errors lead me to figure out what positions I can take but no real clarity is there. I think with this feedback they will implement some sort of alert system as its just common sense. I put this down to growing pains as I understand the business and how sometimes good ideas take a moment to perfect. With Fundedhive, the journey has been smoother by chance I suspect. Its the one I am missing trades on the most so the results are smoother. Nothing surprising yet. In the end both of these accounts are about the funded experience not the challenge really. Another thing that may be a hidden outcome generator is the way I am applying my stop loss. On Fundedhive, I am using the ctrader function to insert stop and TP by %. On metatrader I am click dragging to approximate values. On one trade I got stopped on EUR/USD on fundedhive and not on fundex because I dragged to a support level on fundex vs the rigid stop of fundedhive. But in most instances the extra spare change of loss has been negative to fundex. If the funded models hold up then I can say both companies run a decent program although I can see this "dynamic leverage" as a problem for many in the industry as it does soften the ability to yolo an account which is what most people are doing to their phase 1's. I'm not at a funded stage yet to play with the A/B mechanism however I have been developing the how-to side of it to benefit from the system overall and avoid having to pay out a lot of a-book losses. Whether it works or not can't say. I'm not a trader just a hobbyist. Am I recommending these companies? If you have spare money and are filled up on prop accounts - could be interesting ones to add to your arsenal, but make sure you understand the program, each phase and how the funded accounts work. Work on a strategy to utilize the funded accounts the best. My opinion is, ignore the on demand payout stuff if you are patient with getting yourself more DD the funded accounts could be fantastic if you have a nice edge.

@FXPhysics @quandapro Hahaahah, i like label 2 and all of them to 😆

@quandapro I've been through it, with millions on the line in the past. Went on to make millions after that. Don't beat yourself up. There's no such thing as hitting new ATH after new ATH every 30 days. That's another deluded social media myth. Stay locked in. You're gonna be just fine. 💪

213 since ATH to be honest is very tough mentally. I haven't been able to produce a new strategy to smooth out the equity curve and it has been quite frustrating. It is what it is. Have to keep moving forward anyway.

⭐️ ATA April 2026 Highlights ⭐️ @kieran__duff: +3 ATA points on StatSig @TradeLikeBen: hit #77 in DarwinIA Gold @RealQQQTrader: pulls +23.8% monster month & +3 ATA points on MAR @Rodriaranaa: +3 ATA points on MAR 🌪️ Major reshuffling among the top ATA traders. Check it out!

@FXPhysics @kieran__duff @RealQQQTrader @Rodriaranaa Massive win for the team!

@cristquant amazing work brother!

Save this, one day I will manage millions under my Darwin OYZY. I promise

@DarwinexZero notice me INDX 🫡

An allocator does not pay for backtest performance. They pay for compounding under live conditions on capital that has consequence. INDX allocates real money to qualifying DARWINs. The judgement happens at the boundary backtests cannot cross.

@FXPhysics My man 💯

💪 First single account over the 8-figure line. ✅ Scaled algorithmic robustness ✅ Institutional risk management ✅ Big money pressure ✅ No-proxy accountability ✅ No resets PS: Not audited. But mirroring UNITY which is.

@DrDeannaCole @DarwinexZero Appreciate Dr! It means alot 💯

@Tradelikeben @DarwinexZero Great job Ben!!! 🤩🤑🥳

New ATH for my ticker this month. 3% return this month, mentality feels better than ever. Here we go, May.💯 @DarwinexZero

@DarwinexZero Shortlist me to the INDX 🥂 (cheeky smile😏)

@Tradelikeben BOOM, great work!!!

This passage from Paul Tudor Jones is too good

@DrDeannaCole @darwinexzero_es @DarwinexZero @darwinexzero_fr @darwinexzero_it @darwinexlabs Got it 💯 let's do our best! See you in the INDX

Honestly I have no idea 😂 (other than whatever guesses I come up with...but I'm not sure I have any idea at all). Getting added to the INDX really helped, but also I think sharing your successes might be helpful as well. Typically I would not share performance but I thought the same thing -- unless you share it how will I ever get enough eyes on it. What I keep trying to tell myself is just keep doing your best and things will shake out. That and time 🕰️🕛⏰⌚

It happens🤷‍♀️take a look at this nasty spill I took. Monday begins day 1 of your new opportunity to be consistent. What you do moving forward / the decision you will make, are more important than what you have done in the past. You've got this!
