Not every trader is ready to go all in on day one. Some want to test the waters first. Some are watching their budget. Some already have a track record building here and want to try something new — without touching what they've already built.
That's exactly why we built Lite Membership.
- Not competing doesn't mean you're without capital
- Who's Lite Membership for?
- Standard vs. Lite, at a glance
- Can I switch between Lite and Standard?
What is Lite Membership?
Lite Membership is Darwinex Zero's lowest-cost way in — now available in Colombia, the UK and Italy: €25/month, virtual trading, and a real, verified track record — no DarwinIA required.
Here's what that means in practice. You trade on a virtual account. Our Risk Engine tracks every trade and builds your DARWIN — your own risk-adjusted, investable index. It's the same verification process that powers every Darwinex Zero trader's journey. The only difference: you're not entered into DarwinIA, our monthly merit-based competition for capital allocation and there are not Permanent Allocations available.
No competition. No pressure to perform on someone else's timeline. Just you, building your record, at your own pace.
Not competing doesn't mean you're without capital
Here's how it works. You get access to Boosters — the same capital tool available on Standard Membership — to grow what you trade beyond your own account.
And there's a bonus path too. If your DARWIN reaches the same bar we set for our GOLD tier — at least 8 months of track record and a return-to-drawdown ratio above 2.5:1 over a year — it opens automatically to investor capital. No competition to win, no leaderboard to climb, no DarwinIA required. We check at the end of every month.
Build a genuinely strong track record, and the capital finds you. That's what meritocratic actually looks like.
Who's Lite Membership for?
New to Darwinex Zero? Lite Membership is the lowest-barrier way to start.
Get your strategy in front of our Risk Engine and start building your track record. If you later decide DarwinIA and Standard Membership are your next step, you can move over by restarting your account — just keep in mind a restart resets your track record from scratch, so it's worth building confidence in your strategy first.
Already testing your strategy elsewhere, on your own dime? Do it here instead, for €25/month, with a verified track record to show for it.
Already a Standard Member? Lite Membership isn't a downgrade — it's an addition. Open a second account to test a new strategy from scratch, in parallel with the one you've already built, without touching your existing membership or your DarwinIA standing.
One strategy competing for capital. Another quietly proving itself. Both yours.
Standard vs. Lite, at a glance
- Standard Membership: €45/month (or €420 on annual or €1,080 over 3 years). Full access, including DarwinIA — our monthly merit-based competition for capital allocation, plus Permanent Allocations and Boosters.
- Lite Membership: €25/month (or € 276 on annual or €774 over 3 years). Virtual trading and full track-record verification, without DarwinIA. Capital via Boosters, plus an automatic path to investor capital once your DARWIN qualifies.
Futures accounts carry a +€5/month surcharge on either membership.
Same Risk Engine. Same verified DARWIN. Different route to investor capital.
*Please note USD prices vary. Check our pricing page for more details.
Can I switch between Lite and Standard?
Not directly, not today. Moving between Lite and Standard Membership currently means restarting your account, which resets your track record and starts your DARWIN from scratch — there's no upgrade or downgrade that keeps your existing track record intact. If you want to build toward DarwinIA while also testing something lower-cost, the way to do that today is to run two separate accounts, one on each membership, as described above.
Lite Membership is available today in Colombia, the UK and Italy.
We hope you enjoy this new membership,
Darwinex Zero
