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.

If you do 40k pips in a day with constant lot size how could you not make money?

Pips mean nothing.
+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.

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.
