100 pips on a 30 pip move? so if you have a 3 positions you are multiplying 30 x 3? Thats a different way of counting pips.. I'd just say made 30 pips on 3 positions lol
Oh.... difference is that.... we are counting profit in PIPs..... not in positions or $ profit....

If you have 10 fills on 10 micro lots on a 10 pip move one could say that they made 100 pips .. I dont like doing it that way

Its funny how people get interested how others count their pips profits etc.
I count % of equity growth.Not bragging but up 35% this month 25-0
Counting pips is measure of performance to me but not overall picture for that % is the real thing.Perhaps the guy with 168 posts should be more concern about his trading then how I count my pips.I'll be happy to update to you Jeremy Oak how I am doing on regular bases

In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

{quote} True, to each is own. I get a false sense if I do it that way, rather just get an average fill and count the total pips in return. If you have 10 fills on 10 micro lots on a 10 pip move one could say that they made 100 pips .. I dont like doing it that way
