I'm still swearing because the trailstop got me out of the current big EURUSD bull move too quickly.... and it is still climbing.... 
Anyway up until today +16,7 pips (on demo account). Still a very good profit indeed.

Great to see you guys are getting the green pips. Me busy with customers and I have just finished re-installing it all.
You see sometimes the trades go against you, sometimes they return and you are able to profit and sometimes not. As long as the winners outnumber the losses we are fine

+10 pips EU 11:30 candle signal
(+10, -15, + 10) +1.25 % on the day
+2.5% -3.75% +2.5% = +1.25%, Right profit is +1.12%
or
+2.5% +2.5% = +5%, Right is +5.06%
Therefore I think it's right to speak in pips, not percentages, because of compound rate.

A few days ago I wanted to say something about the amount of Profits that many of you do. If we are risking 3.75% on every order is not correct to say:
+2.5% -3.75% +2.5% = +1.25%, Right profit is +1.12%
or
+2.5% +2.5% = +5%, Right is +5.06%
Therefore I think it's right to speak in pips, not percentages, because of compound rate.
I am not going to start a debate on this, I am too busy working and trading. All I know is my account is growing and that is for me the only thing that matters. I use end of the day calculation.
so with regards to your example:
+2.5% -3.75% +2.5% = +1.25%, Right profit is +1.12%
+10 pips - 15 pips + 10 pips = + 5 pips
10 pips = 2.5 % so 1 pip = 0.25 % ===> 5 pips 5*0.25 % = 1.25%
