Frequently Asked Questions

In short: Darwin Lab evolves thousands of strategies with a genetic algorithm; the survivors traded real money on Binance Futures from April 2026. The wallet is at $0 right now — funds were pulled to fix a fee-drag that netted -$147 over 90 days — so signals run on paper while the system rebuilds. Every result, including the losses and fees, is verifiable live at /api/stats.json.

What is Darwin Lab?

Darwin Lab is a crypto trading system where thousands of strategies are evolved with a genetic algorithm, and only the survivors are allowed to trade. They traded real money on Binance Futures from April 2026; the wallet is at $0 now while we rebuild after a fee-heavy -$147 stretch, so trades run on paper for the moment. Either way, every trade is published as a signal on Telegram — the same trades the account takes.

Is this real-money trading or just a backtest?

Both, honestly. Darwin Lab traded real capital on Binance Futures mainnet from April 2026 — the live results, wins, losses and fees, are published unfiltered to /api/stats.json and /api/track-record.json straight from the Binance income endpoint, never hand-edited. Right now the wallet is at $0 (funds pulled to fix the fee-drag that made the 90-day net -$147) and signals run on paper while the edge is rebuilt. We tell you which mode we're in on every post rather than blur the line.

Is the Telegram channel really free?

Yes — 100% free, no credit card and no email required. You join the channel and receive live signals as they fire. The free feed posts on a short delay (~10 minutes) and only the higher-grade setups; it exists as public, auditable proof.

What's the difference between free and VIP?

Free = the same real trades, on a ~10-minute delay and top grades only. VIP = the same feed, instant and complete: every grade, confidence scores, champion DNA and trade-replay reasoning. You can try VIP with a free trial before paying anything.

What's your win rate?

We deliberately don't freeze a win-rate number on the site because it would go stale — read it live at /api/stats.json. And win rate on its own is misleading: fees, funding and trade frequency can turn a high win rate net-negative. That's why we publish the fee-inclusive net result rather than a vanity stat.

Can I lose money following the signals?

Yes. Trading crypto futures is risky and you can lose money. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and signals are not financial advice. Always manage your own position sizing and risk.

How do I know your track record is real and not faked?

Check it yourself: our full trade history, including losses, is exposed at a public raw endpoint (/api/track-record.json) and on the /track-record page — timestamps are published as trades happen, not curated afterward. A signal seller who only shows winning screenshots and hides a raw, fee-inclusive feed is the one to distrust.

How are the strategies generated?

Each strategy carries roughly 30 genetic parameters (indicators, timeframes, risk rules). They compete in an evolutionary arena — the best breed and mutate, the losers are killed automatically. Only champions that survive forward testing are allowed to trade the live account.

Which exchange and markets do you trade?

Binance Futures USDT-M, on a curated set of liquid pairs (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB and more). The system rotates its universe automatically toward the pairs showing the most opportunity. To mirror signals manually, Binance is the closest match; Bybit and Bitget are alternatives where Binance is restricted.

How much does VIP cost and how do I pay?

VIP starts at an Early Bird rate that's locked for life while you stay subscribed, with a small number of Founding slots at the lowest price. Payment is in crypto (USDT or SOL). You can start with a free trial first — see the /subscribe page for current tiers.
