Your Gain

How many pip you earn in every deal?
how many pip you earn in every week and month?

My goal is something between 10 to 100 pips per trade, but it also depends on the asset you're trading and also on the market conditions and own mindset at that very time when I start or close a trade. For weekly or monthly results I don't have any pip-goals; I'm looking more on the percentage-gain. A monthly gain between 0.5% and 10% is okay for me, because that's most realistic on long terms (e.g. if you're trading an account for more than 2 years). Everything else is just gambling not trading. This is how 3 of my accounts are looking like this year:

My trading style is conservative. My focus is on small gains and on a continuous basis without the need for so much exposure to risk.

Yield estimate: 1000 pips per month
Profit average per trade: $1 (100 points)

It's not specific and it should be specific. It depends on market situation. In some weeks you can get a lot of good trades. In some weeks it could be very few or none. Profit target should be quarterly or half yearly. Daily target sometimes causes psychological pressure resulting in unnecessary trades and loss.

It depends on the market situation. You can not say it specifically.

@Michihito said it right. Every trader's target should be different. It should be based on trading skills. We should not compare ourselves with how many pips others are making. We should focus on our individual skills and experience.

I plan before trading. I never trade without a plan. I have a profit target of 200 pips per month. That means 50 pips a week and 10 pips regular. When there is a loss in a trade, I try to cover that loss with a risk-reward.

Having a target is good. But I don't think it is wise to try making a specific amount of money every day. Your earning will depend on the market situation.

Market situations affect every aspect of trade and it is not easy to specify a particular target. It also depends on what you are trading in and what the profit margin is. Focusing on petty or small gains could help in fulfilling short term goals.

It’s not consistent. Anywhere between 50 to 100 pips on a good day.

Yeah. You are right. But having a target is good. But if you force your trading decision to achieve the goal is not good.

But how do you know when to close early and when to leave a trade to run. Also, what stop loss are you using to get 25 pips? If you use a 50 pip SL to get 25 pips then you will end up in loss eventually

i dont have fix number. but on an average I earn and lose 3-4 pips

i always try to bring good trading habit with personal , i think its a real gain than all others , actually habit is a thing which is most valuable assist in the world.

its a fine line you have told , habit is everything because it runs the life ,
 i always try to maintain my focus and discipline level.

As long as I was able to make a consistency in profit, i really did not care about how much pips have I been making

Focus on growth and consistency rather than blindly trade for high profit.

The best thing is when you grow and your income level rises.

Success begins when you begin to earn money on constant basis. Some arbitrary winning trades isn't success. It requires time and effort to achieve success.
