On the other hand overall profitability of clients dropped by 2.8% on average and 1.9% in weighted average for the first time since Q2 2011. Considering that Q1 2012 was not a volatile quarter this is somewhat surprising but then Q3 2011 was very volatile and profitability still increased so the correlation may be low. CitiFX Pro revealed its numbers for the first time, just like Interactive Brokers did last quarter, number of accounts is low but when considering the average account size, which is probably as big as what dbFX had: ~$50,000 on average, the overall result is impressive.
Just want to make sure I've got this right. Does it mean 60 to 70 percent of the accounts are losing money?
