He details historically, how him and his brother Javier Colón (co-founder of Darwinex) embarked on setting up Tradeslide back in the day, to empower traders to become better traders.
But the industry was full of brokers at the time who simply weren't interested at large in the same vision.
To be a venue that attracted "Alphas" - traders with the attitude, motivation and drive required to improve and succeed - Tradeslide NEEDED to become its own Agency Broker and hence CREATE the fair, level playing field that was missing in the retail trading industry, particularly in retail Forex / FX at the time.
The brokerage arm of Darwinex was hence born.
We are typically our clients' 3rd or 4th broker - and this is good for us (in one sense) because before getting to us, people have already had unfavourable experiences with most others and immediately appreciate the difference we bring to the table.
But historically, Traders should never have had to experience systematic exposure to conditions biased entirely in brokers' financial interest, ever. This industry norm to date has created psychological imbalance among traders on a grand scale.
We see too much in the way of distrust, discontent, bitterness and suspicion towards brokers as a result (Darwinex included).
The only way we have to make our case, that we are NOT in the business of profiting from people's misfortune, that we ARE in the business of empowering traders to succeed, is by giving them the tools and the level playing field necessary TO succeed.
But to accomplish this mission, Darwinex needs traders to viralize our message, to spread the word as far and wide as they can.
As an Agency Broker, Trader success IS our lifeblood at Darwinex, and the only thing that drives our growth - NOT sales, NOT buying traffic, NOT introducing brokers, NOT affiliate marketers.
To help us accomplish this difficult mission, of leveling the playing field while empowering talented Alphas to succeed and attract the capital necessary to SCALE their trading activity, Darwinex NEEDS YOU to grow this movement WITH us.
Darwinex relies EXCLUSIVELY on organic acquisition as a result.
If you're an Alpha, if you're a serious Trader looking to scale your game to the next level, to turn your talent into a scarce commodity where investors compete to back YOU with capital..
.. help Darwinex spread the word, and do it with gusto, with all your might!
Because YOU deserve it.
