Report in broker's profitability on algorithmic trading on FX margin accounts?
Is there any report on Broker's profitability on Algorithmic trading in general or preferably on FX margin accounts? e.g. I want to know in IB, NinjaTrader(as broker), and IB trading by NinjaTrader8(as a platform) how many of the Algorithmic traders do have profitable accounts? If there isn't any general report around, is there any way to get an analysis of some of the available reports and conclude an approximate result on in what percentage the IB, NinjaTrader(as broker), and IB trading by NinjaTrader8(as a platform) Algorithmic trading accounts are profitable?
Tnx and best of luck

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Thanks. Do you mean there is no broker, not even IB that Algorithmic trading on that broker can be profitable?
I mean, my question was more about errors happening on the server-side code execution, while I'm running an algorithmic trading strategy, the outcome is incorrect because of errors happening in the server-side in the broker end. Anyone who has experience with IB algorithmic trading can confirm if the IB is always reliable in algorithmic trading or it's like the other brokers who have an error in code execution on the server-side that is a casing to algorithms loss?
Thanks. About 'reports of which algo-traders are profitable, split by broker'> Yes I want this as well? I mean the reports on broker's profitability that I found do not split on Algo-trader's and Manual-trader's, it's a total of both.
About 'Now you are talking about errors during the execution of the algo.'> This affects the report of profitability on Alg-trading on the broker, is there is such a report available. And by speaking about an error in the execution of Algo-trading, I wanted to mention that execution on Algo-trading profitability depends on how error-free is the execution on Algo-trading through API to broker, e.g. Error's in Algo-trading are dividing into multi sections:
1- Error on the logic of Algo-trading
2- Error on the execution of Algo-trading
2-1 Error that depends on hardware(server failure, etc)
2-2 Error that depends on Execution of the Algo-trading file(OS level errors and application layer errors)
2-3 Error that depends on the execution of API(e.g. If the API provide false information or information that is outdated by nano-second, then in case the execution on the server is at high speed and receiving information from API at a lower speed, there were the case that in nano-seconds the information that received by API if they are outdated/false then execution of the code in high speed generate the false results.
2-4 etc
Also, the reso I didn't reply by now is that I didn't get a notification for new posts or reply to my posts or thread's, as I only received the number of new notifications and when I click on that, it gives the 'only latest' response, e.g. assuming I received 5 notifications for 5 response but only latest of all response is available to view when I click on the notification and there is no way for me to know what are the last 4 replies to my posts if you know what I mean. There shall be a way that I get to recognize all the past 4 replies in this example but I can't find them anyway? Could you elaborate or if this is the website's issue, please consider fixing it? Nowadays all modern forum's CMS have this functionality to recognize all the actions including reference to all the replies to my posts and not just showing the number of notifications(e.g. number of replies to my posts) but not showing the last four response's and only showing the 5th and latest one in this example, it makes it very hard to track these replies. The only way for me to find out someone replied to me is finding all my post's one by one and all my thread's and then go page by page and look for replies that done to my post's or thread's, like what I did today and find out you replied to my post.
?
This is something I should have done months ago. The purpose of this thread is just to track the changes that I make to the site over time. Some may find it interesting, but its mainly for me.
So, unfortunately most the heavy lifting has been done …
