I have been seen that a lot of traders only go for a few pips a day (5-20 pips). If my calculations are correct 5-20 pips is not much unless by PIPS they are referring to something else. If you are trading 1 contract that it is $53 to $212 profit. assuming that most traders trade an average of 5 contracts that is not much. TradeConsultant wouldn't catching one big move in the week be better than a few points a day? Personally I have seen traders get 100 to 150 points in a week in a couple of trades it would add to more than a few points a day in profit. If you want you account to grow wouldn't that be a better approach to growing it while minimizing your exposure?
