Lots of strategies teaching how to make hunteds,thousands of pipes a month. Do we need that much? Aren't money the goal? Can't be 10 pips enough to live wealthy? I think I run to much after the pipes and I miss the goal. Sholdn't we look more for high chances and less trades that more pipes? A 20-30 pips per week can be enough, for every week. How many pipes do you need to say it's enough? Try hard, think fast, die young

I think there's a lot of discussion about the number of pipes to gain without a lot of discussion as to trading probabilities. For me, discussing pipes without a discussion of trading probability is fairly meaningless. If I had a system that generated 10 pips a week, is that enough for any? Probably not for most. Well, what if I helped you that there is a 99.99% probability of success that you'll gain 10 pips a week. Now it's a lot more interesting. But, what if then said that the .01% failed results in a -150 pips. Makes it a little less interesting. So, I think there are a lot of factors at play when discussing pipes. Let's talk more about challenges.

When I started out trading, I set out with a mindset of getting 10-20 pips per day. I've guessed that mindset and have just gone with the idea that focusing on finding proper set ups, and taking what the markets offer, is what works best for me. Some days that may 5 pips and other days it may mean 100 pips. As long as I keep moving forward, I don't set expectations for accessing a certain number of pipes each day. I find this clear my mind and allow me to focus on trading correctly, which in turn is what makes the pipes.

Quoting No.. scrap the whole scalping idea, in the end nobody can sustain profitability through scaling, scholarship of one thing, whipsaws. To get that one pip, you currently need to gain the spread + that one pip. So if the spread is 3 pipes, you need to make 4 pipes just to realize that 1 pipe project, on the other hand if it goes 1 pipe again you, and that is your stop, then you just lost 4 pipes. So you would need to gain 16 current pipes which would net you 4 pipes, for every stop lost (set at 1 pipe below/above bid/ask
