(DARWIN) HAKR by TyStocks

[Phoenix86]

I'm relatively new to Darwin investing and have been doing my best to learn the ropes. I've come across a trader—TyphooN—who is quite active and helpful on the Darwinex Discord, frequently providing feedback and support to other traders.

Despite his engagement and technical background, I noticed his Darwin has zero investors. That gave me pause, and I wanted to get an honest take from the community before making any decisions.

Here’s what stood out to me during my research:

• He built his own open-source trading system (available on his website Market Wizardry site
• He designed a custom VaR-based risk management system
• His GitHub contributions date back to 2011, showing long-term involvement in coding and strategy development
• He manages a Discord community with a clear focus on engagement and transparency
• HAKR Darwinex

I'm not looking to follow the herd or just invest in the most popular traders. I’d really like to support a trader who is under the radar but genuinely skilled. However, I also want to avoid missteps as I’m still learning.

So any feedback or perspectives on what one would look for to determine whether a trader like TyphooN is investable - even if they currently have no investors?

Are there red flags I might be missing, or metrics I should dig deeper into?

Appreciate any insights or honest opinions!

Welcome to the T2W forum.

To HAKR:

Before even thinking about an investment I would wait until that is solved:

Thank you for the response. I had noticed the drawdown early on, and it was definitely something that caught my attention. When I spoke with him about it, he explained that the increased drawdown was due to issues with the LUMN stock he had been trading.

Upon further investigation, I found that he had indeed reported the stock as being delisted or removed from Darwinex. Based on what he shared, LUMN was the only stock he was actively trading at the time. It also appears that several other stocks were affected on the same day, and he was able to identify this through a custom script he runs — which I found particularly interesting.

This actually added to my interest in his account, as I strongly support the integration of technology into trading strategies. I’ve followed up with him with a few more questions for clarification and will update once I receive his responses.

LUMN is a loser in the last 6 months, but not delisted. What Darwinex or their CFD providers do, is another story which I don't know or research.

If the Darwin depends on holding only one stock, you don't need a Darwin to hold this stock. 😉

As I wrote, I would never thiank about buying a falling knife.
Five consecutrive months of losses without an end is a special situation, but never a buy signal.
Wait, whether it would be able to recover fully or not.
