Thread: Net/Long term effect of habitual low pips targets on account size

I am often pissed off by individuals who informs me that they only have an EVERYDAY TARGET of 5pips, 10pips, 15pips etc.. My difficulty here is if it be a habit when there are chances sometimes to make 100-400 pips?

Primarily, if those are continuous scalpers, then I don't have any say because I understand scalpers would use big lot size to target small amount of pips so as to make significant profit. Conversely, using small lot size to target amount of pips with any trader is what I believe is going to be a dumb idea because what impact will that have on the account size?

My main grudge this is that, this people who say their daily target is this ridiculosly low amount of pips,
1. Are they attempting to say that the waves of approximately 100-400 pips which could be made by means of a pair in a day/week(especially the yen pairs) is ALWAYS AND FOREVER tough to ch? I am not saying it is simple to ch at all times but my difficulty here is should it be a habit of targetting this tiny pips? And if it could be a habit, are these traders extended term successful traders? Since I have at many times made 100-400 pips trading robots.

2. For those who always mention 5pips, 10pips, 15 pips as their target, long term impact or what internet does it have on their account size? To the best of my knowledge scalpers are not succesful traders on the term, or does any scalper tell me he's scalped like this during a year and he is succesful using his account or has not discounted any? account ?

If the author of the report requires proof that scalping works better at the long run, just go to Oanda Contest and analise the winners. The huge majority ( if not all ) would be the scalpers. Each month the winners are those who have mastered a system, which probably took them years to achieve, and they always play with this system.

The proof is right there made available by simply analising other peoples success.

Firstly, if those are continuous scalpers, then I don't have any say because I understand scalpers would use large lot size to target small number of pips so as to make substantial profit. Conversely, using little lot size to target number of pips with any trader is what I believe is going to be a dumb idea since what impact will that have on the account size?

My main grudge this is that, this men and women who state their daily target is that this ridiculosly low number of pips,
1. Are they attempting to state that the waves of approximately 100-400 pips that could be drawn up by means of a pair in a day/week(particularly the yen pairs) can be ALWAYS AND FOREVER difficult to ch? I am not saying it's simple to ch at all times anyway, but my problem here is whether it be a habit of targetting this tiny pips? And if it could be a habit, are these traders extended term successful traders? Since I have at many times made 100-400 pips trading waves.

2. For people who always mention 5pips, 10pips, 15 pips because their target, what net or long term impact does it have in their account size? To the best of my understanding scalpers are not succesful traders around the term, or does any scalper tell me he's scalped just like that throughout a year and he is succesful with his account has not blown down any? account ?

Question. . .what on earth makes you assume that scalpers are not effective in the long term? Your totally misinformed... BIG TIME!

There are far more opportunities to successfully scalp than you will find to catch the 100 - 400 pips. Long duration is traded by me and I scalp and I will tell you that before you conclude that scalpers are not effective in the long term, you have to do study. I really do look for my 25 pips on Monday to Thursdays and 10 pips on Sunday and Fridays. I always achieve them and that I really do trade size standard lots.

When was the last time you read anywhere that scalping doesn't work? When was the last time you read anywhere that scalping doesn't function in the long term? I never have and I have traded.

You know what they say about assuming...

Primarily, if these are constant scalpers, then I don't have any say because I know scalpers would use large lot size to target small number of pips in order to make substantial profit. Conversely, using lot size to target small number of pips by any trader is exactly what I think will be a stupid idea since what effect will that have on the account size?

Fine, I quite confess that there are more chances to scalp than goal large pips however from ur comments I notice that your present success I guess is only because YOU DONT SCALP ALONE. If you do then the market ought to have eaten you alive. Let a constant scalper that's scalped successfully for 1 year show me wrong!

My scalping account is separate from my other accounts. A successful trader that deals as a scalper along with a long term trader should not utilize one live account.

Your premises that my account could be eaten alive if I scalped completely is totally incorrect. Please stick with facts when your in conversation about a subject or topic that you know nothing about, or are not successful in.

Scalpers = short term succesful traders
adamant scalpers = long term failures
swing traders = long duration successful traders

I do not believe your an authority on short term or extended term. . .lol

opened the account only to trade with litlle immersion and insignificant fund, an abandoned account, left the broker long ago, doing exceptionally well with my actual brokers. Huu mind you I am an account manager! You know I should have crashed out long 14, so if I am not.
