Re: How to correctly measure the pips won in an operation?
Thank you all for the answers. Actually, I�m getting much clearer about all this. I�m going to focus on keeping a separate record of pips, % and lot size. I think part of the problem is that you start operating without really knowing what you�re doing. But each clarified doubt is a step forward. You�re grateful for the patience.

It's not a lack of intelligence, it's a lack of structure. Nobody teaches you well from the start. That's why there are so many who end up burning accounts. I'm glad you understand. If you really want to improve, build a trading journal with all the variables. There you will see your mistakes and your successes without having to guess.
Re: How to correctly measure the pips won in an operation?
I've been in that same doubt for years. It's normal. But believe me that understanding the difference between measuring performance in pips and for real benefit will save you a lot of dislikes. There are people who never learn it and spend their lives operating blindly. So if you're already asking these questions, you're on the right track.
