You can check yourself with two different accounts and then login same time but with two different IP address (landline + VPN or mobile or something else) and two different devices (so PC desktop + notebook or mobile phone). Then can you compare the quotes. If they are not the same then you know...

...and this is not the end of insolvencies the number will get bigger/worse in the next months I guess.

Yeah, also meant very good RRR trades with at least greater 5 or so. You could say something in common words without being too specific.

I meant also MFE/MAE ratio where it is at least over 5 in average on every trade. How to get it for you then ?

Of course this depends on the asset class and time horizon. But say for Forex doing daytrading or swing trading, what can you expect for a drawdown given a certain leverage ? Where is the limit, where do you can expect to blow up your account ? This question is open to all asset classes, like...

A lot of traders are looking for perfect entries where there is nearly no drawdown at all. It gets by far more difficult to do this on every trade or most trades one is entering. How do you get these entries ? Are you looking for special patterns or candles in the market ? Do you need a (large)...

You said "There's a tradeoff between consistency and variance of returns." How would you describe that curve in more details ?

...and from January to April you make a profit every day or week (or month) ?

What are you trading ? Stocks, Futures, Forex ? And what time frame usually ? How many trades you have usually every day or week ?

In what time period are you usually profitable ?

How long did it take (for you) to become consistently profitable ?

A wake up here https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/its-global-margin-call-i-hope-we-survive

So these HTF limits down the trades or the direction of the trades. How far do you go here ? What is the highest HTF here ? What if your weekly and daily HTF contradicts, then no trade ?

What is your favorite timeframe to trade ?

My experience with tick based charts and strategies on them are mixed. They can be profitable of course but the variation of the drawdown can far exceed the slightly better reward-risk-ratio I can get from trading those smaller timeframes. What kind of timeframe you like and why (perhaps) ? Pros...

I would suggest trade on the daily timeframe. Once a day you can find some time to have quick look into for a trade or not. If one cannot do decent money on daily timeframe then it is much more difficult to do it on the intraday timeframe. So first master daily timeframe before you go to smaller...

...is there any who is who from Elite Trader too ?

I heard Ninjatrader is even (far) worse when it comes to autoexecution. Forget those retail software autoexecutions. There are mainly built for backtesting only. If you need something good, you need to look for Deltix or kind, or do it on your own with a lot of efforts on being a programming...

I do not want to write books here about deficient automated order execution with MC. I have other things to do. But you must see that MC is not built for autoexecution at all. Usually everyone knows that when MC was heavily used here.

I mean so many things can go wrong when doing automated execution. There is no way to no t do babysitting all the time when trading. Thus you can manual trade then too. For example you can loose internet connection for a few seconds when there is a signal to be executed, or MC loose connection...
