Which assets are eligible for DARWIN creation?

You can create DARWINs on top of live MT4/MT5 accounts trading Forex, indices, commodities, US stocks and ETF CFDs.

You can create DARWINs based on two different asset categories in MT4:

  1. FOREX, indices and commodities CFDs
  2. CFDs of US stocks and ETFs

In MT5, you can trade all available asset categories simultaneously — including forex, indices, commodities, stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. Note that the list of stocks and ETFs available in MT4 is more limited than in MT5.
