Weekly Bites 13th October 2025

Hey, DARWINs!

Last Friday brought one of the most volatile sessions of the year, after comments from U.S. President Trump reinforced the idea of renewed China tariffs. The NDX collapsed over -3%, while crypto markets dropped even further causing huge liquidations.

We hope everyone managed to stay relatively unaffected, moments like these serve as a powerful reminder of why disciplined risk management is at the core of every successful strategy.

Here's what's been happening at Zero, so sit back and dive in!

TRADER PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

VGTV with an impressive recovery!

At the start of 2025, VGTV faced what many traders dread: starting with a drawdown. Down nearly -6% across February and March, it would have been easy to reset, pause, or give up altogether. But they didn’t.

Instead, they kept trading through the rough patch, trusting their process and allowing their edge to play out. That discipline has now paid off: VGTV has surged to #2 in DarwinIA SILVER, posting a +28.23% return over the last six months and reaching a new all-time high.

Today, VGTV sits with a +18.45% total return, an annualised return of 30.75%, and a Sharpe ratio of 1.49, with €130,000 in DarwinIA allocations. It’s a reminder that consistency isn’t about avoiding drawdown: it’s about managing it, learning from it, and staying the course when others would have hit reset.
