Pips mean nothing.

All that counts isn't it ?

Bank only accepts money, not pips. Go to the bank manager say I made 10 pips. He's going to say: Nice, how much do you want to deposit ?

I made about 130,000 on my real accounts this real.
So about 40,000 pips monthly
Or about 4k pips/account

is this good or bad?

No one with any experience cares about the Pips. I do 40 000 in a day if I feel like it. Doesn't mean I made money.

And you vont what his name, stop spamming. I've you're successful go to the beach, no need to try squeeze it in everywhere.

+1 pips really means nothings you can make 50 000 pips that will bring you 5$ and loose 1 pip that will loose you 5000$.
If you can hold an average of 3-5%/month over a 1-2year period you could concider yourself a great trader.

Sounds reasonable.

It depends a lot on individuals and what kind of system he/she is using for trading.

It makes sense.

This is the philosophy about pips:

Calculate how many pips you are ready to loose for each trade you place. If it doesn't worth it. Drop it.
