How many pips does the average retail forex trader make?

I'm trying to trade forex on my own, with 3 strategies based primarily on technical analysis, supplemented by fundamental analysis. I've developed these strategies through homework, lots of reading and just a bunch of research. I bought a system in the past and got burned. Now I'm doing it myself. Does anyone know the honest average range of pips professional retail traders make every month? My impression was that they make an average 250-500 pips a month. Not to say they do that every month, it's just the result when averaged out. Right now, after 2 months of trading, I've made a little over 200 pips and I'm hoping to maintain that and improve to the 250-500 pip average a month range. Is that realistic? Ideal? What should be my target monthly average to be a truly successful forex trader.

i think how many pips you want is depend on you and we cant say so amny have so amny styles some will make morepips with small lots and some wanna open biglots and look for small pips so it totally depend on you how many you want

well this is good job that you make 200pt i think that you can keep it as a monthly average because none can garnt to you this points anyway from my experiment on the forex markets i see that the garnt of the point is imposible even with small one well when you garntthis point it is very good

hann aap 500 pips tak ki movement le sakte hain par iske liye aapko bara balance banana hoga aur sath me volume bhi kam deni hogi jis se margin call se hum bach sake.

Best pips when the price is a benchmark done.
Either that, 1 pips a month ..
so that a routine basis is how he fulfilled

The amount of pips that a trader is making per day depends on the traders trading style and strategy. No amount if fixed, we just set our own targets like 20 - 40 pips per day is a good target for a growing trader in the forex field.

You can earn as much pips as you want but only by trading properly. Every trader have his own target. It is good you have set your targets. Keep trading in the same way , one day you will be good trader.

ye to mere khiyal main ap ki trading k style par he depend karta ha k app kitne pips daily bana saktey ho esi liye main to app ko ye kahoun ga k app ager scalper ho to app daily 10 pips se 100 pips aaram se kama saktey ho or ager app multi pairs par trade kar rahe ho to phr es se bhi ziiyada pips kama saktey ho

i think that retail trader should not aim at pips...he should try his best to make a strategy and try to make a plan for his trading...and he should try to make a good profit which he has aimed at his strategy...so if he can make a profit which he has targeted for himself..so as a newbie, i will never aim at higher pips, but i will just aim at a good profit....

I make an average of 20 pips per day cause I make profit loss everyday when I loss I make a loss of 30 pips and when I make a profit I make a profit of 50 pips. This is my secret of trading. tHakns
