For what it's worth:

It's not healthy to judge your performance by other people performance here. There are some super-skilled traders here who must have been at this game since before online trading was even invented, so who are you (and me) to assume or expect that we can do as they do?

If you can safely manage to collect 40 pips a day, you are doing better than many. 200 pips per week is not to be sneezed at. If other people are taking 200 - 400 per day, then they must obviously be more skilled at this than you are at present. Personally...

well putt...in my opinio even 10 pips in a week is a success...as long as u r in green consistantly, it does not matter how many pips u r in profit, but that u r in profit..and i guess that is the objective for everyone who is trading is to be in profit

I am happy that I can average 60, and I'm very happy that others can average 200+ per day.

I don't think there is any "trick" to it, I think it is just experience and practice.

60 a day? day in day out? That's the fast lane brother. Happy? Be ecstatic!

Mark this post down:

10 - 20 - 100 - 500 pips a day means nothing. Don't get yourself drawn into the trap of others.

For some 10 pips a day = 5% profit of the account size
For some others 500 pips a day = 0.5% profit of the account size

How many pips a day or how many dollars a day some people make is not proof of their skills. Proof a skill means how many % of the account size one makes. Because it involves much more than BUY or SELL it involves MONEY MANAGEMENT.

60/day is an average. I get my bad days and my good days like everyone else. I also get days where I can't figure out what the hell is going on, so I stay out!!!

There is my biggest weakness. When I have no idea what's going on, I take it as a challenge, I'm getting over it slowly, but too slowly for my own good.

So are you saying that if I made 10 pips x 10 standard lots I would only earn $100?

In correct....10 lots x 10 pips = 100 pips = $1,000

Get it? Do you want to count pips or actual gains?


Quoting SerpentDove
Pips are the numbers on the right hand of the screen.

10 standard lots X 10 pips = 10 pips.

Pips are great for measuring technical/fundamental prowess and such.

Bottom line is bottom line. Someone who bets 1 lot for 100 pips and someone who bets 10 lots for 10 pips accomplished the exact same thing.

I swear to you it's easier to bet 1 lot hoping for 100 pips, than it is to lay down 10 big ones for 10 pips. When 10 lots go against you, YOU SWEAT INSTANTLY. I should say I sweat instantly.

That's how I see it.

I know exactly what you mean.....I've got burned a couple of times for not taking my own advice. For instance, many people are talking of 1.5xxx, but I am not convinced.....and I've said so a couple of times over that past week or so. I could be wrong....way wrong in fact, but my own analysis says we won't get there. So, now *I* think we won't get there, but many do think that we will.

I'm not going to be arrogant and defy the masses, and I'm also not experienced/bold enough to risk shorting this. So, what to do? For me, stay out of this until I see something I like. I made nothing yesterday, and may make nothing today.....but.....i didn't lose anything either.

Sooner or later a trade will come along that I like.....it's just a matter of of waiting under the forex tree until something drops into my lap!!

While my account burns

If we drop 5 to 7 hundred pips from here, we'd be back in correlation with equities.

What a freakin' if eh???
