Yeah you are right. Occasionally I browse dudes here who say won the following 1000 pips... who gives a rat's butt? What exactly does it matter if you risked 1000 to it and waited for weeks on end to have a measily 1R:R? Ok profit is great but one other component that is important: time. That is an advantage you keep losing rather than gets replenished so don't bother getting one million pips, get one million per cent gain (ok not sensible but you know what I mean).

Don't focus too much on those typical truths of trading however, (95% of traders neglect, pips instead of money, stoploss/no stoploss, technical or fundamental, blablabla...) it'll divert you towards a dead end. Attempt to look for great advice and persue that. Much more valuable way to spend your time and make a penny too. There are a few gold nuggets to be found, even on this forum.
