Comparisons

When you automate a strategy, the tool between your signal source and your broker only has one job: make sure every signal you send actually results in the trade you intended. A dropped alert, a missed fill, or a signal that silently fails to reach an eligible account isn't a minor inconvenience. It's a trade that should have happened and didn't, or one that should have closed and didn't.

The failure modes that matter

Trading-automation tools can fail in a few characteristic ways:

• Dropped signals: the alert fires but never reaches the account, so no trade opens or closes.
• Silent partial delivery: a signal reaches some accounts but not others, with no indication anything went wrong.
• Missed exits: an entry goes through but a later close/exit signal doesn't, leaving a position open when it shouldn't be.

Any of these can matter more than raw execution speed, because a strategy that occasionally doesn't execute isn't really automated at all.

NexumTrader's approach

NexumTrader is built around routing every signal it receives to every eligible account, and being explicit when it doesn't. As described in how a signal flows, each connected account is evaluated independently against its own eligibility checks (Auto Trade on, inside an active Trading Window, symbol present, EA online). An account that fails a check is skipped for that signal only; every other eligible account still trades, and exit signals bypass the Trading Window check so emergency closures always go through.

This is a design goal, not a guarantee independent of your own setup: your MT5 terminal still needs to stay running, connected to your broker, with the EA attached and algorithmic trading enabled, for a signal to have anywhere to land.

We don't have independent benchmarks comparing NexumTrader's reliability to other tools, and we won't make numeric claims here without them. This page is about the principle we design against, not a scorecard.
