  1. 20, 50, 100 or 200 pips your target?...what is your preferred pip total target per trade?...trying to see how many really hang in trades for 50-200 pip profits or do most FX traders just scalp in the 5-20 range?

    Depends on volatility and time frame.

    More volatility = bigger target.

    Larger time frame = bigger target.

    Trade off larger time frames. Better risk to reward. Scalping is best left to pro's.
     
  3. When I get in, I do it for the sake of a few big figures, no less.
