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 -$149 over May 22, 2026 – Jun 26, 2026 — 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 -$149 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 net over May 22, 2026 – Jun 26, 2026 -$149) 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 up to 24 signals/day, at least 1h apart, posted as they are taken, each one labeled paper (pair and direction only — entry, stop-loss and take-profit are VIP). It exists as public, auditable proof.
What's the difference between free and VIP?
Free is a selection: at most 24 paper signals a day, at least 1h apart, posted as they are taken — no delay, no grade filter. VIP is the full feed: every signal that clears the hourly liquidity floor, uncapped, plus mid-trade updates (TP1 hits, check-ins) and the hourly radar with price levels. Only care about a few coins? Send /follow ETH SOL to @DarwinOPBOT (up to 10 coins) and the VIP signals on those coins — entry, TP1, close — also reach you in private. 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 were allowed to trade the real-money account (April–June 2026); signals run on paper since.
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?
Two ways: a one-time Genesis 100 founding seat for lifetime access, or a monthly plan whose rate stays locked while you stay subscribed. Current prices are on the /subscribe page. You pay in crypto inside the Telegram bot, which shows your exact amount. You can start with a free trial first.
How do I start?
