If I go long 1 lot and it loses 100 pips, but go short 3 lots and it wins 50 pips, by a fixed calculation of pips, I'm down 50 pips. However I won $50 So in reality I should be showing a win of 50 pips overall. The calculation would be (3 * 50) - (1 * 100) = 50. Pip calculations should take lot sizes into account and from what I see on the charts that display pips won/lost they don't. I'll see for any given day when the account is up, the pips calculation is negative.

Well, it's not an error in the calculation, just a different calculation from what you've described. Your observation is correct and it's indeed absolute pips chart and not averaged as you've described.

Those lot sizes are taken into account when you take a look at the equity. I don't think it's needed. I like it the way it is. If I win 10 pips with 10 lots, and loose 100 pips with 0.1 lot I think that the chart should show me that I'm not very good with winning pips not that I'm a winner. (10*10)-(0.1*100) = 100-10 = 90. This is not what I want to see

Except your pips are worth different values and you can't compare a $10 pip with a $1 pip. I see what you are saying and that would be reflected in your balance. I'm winning dollars but losing pips and doesn't make sense. Maybe it should be a user option to do it either way.
