i think its depending on the movement of the market and your technical skills. if you have strong analytical skills then you might be gain more than 300 pips in a day

it is not a constant as i differs from one trader to another, and depending also on his strategies and plans.
and 20-100 pips per day is not bad.

My guess is about 500 to 600 pips per day. As the market is moving in a variety and the same movement encompasses so many currency pairs therefore the figure goes higher and higher in my point of view.

I think that is imposible to make 500 till 600 pips per day, because the price don't any movement, sometime one pair just sideways only, take movement just 20-50 pips only.

yes, the target is a target of 45-50 pips a rational where the average pip movement every day to more than 100 pips. but we should have a good analysis so that we are not mistaken in the open trade positions....

it will vary from trader to trader because all the trader in forex market are not same. those who have big equity and expert in trading their average earning is large then the small trader. my target is daily 10-20 pips.

It was a very good number. money management by 5% then it is equal to 12.5-25% per month. This value is quite good value. I think with sufficient capital, $ 1000 for example, you earn enough to live for a month.

Big lot size? this is the main reason why so many scalpers does not see their account survive for six months. Yes you can earn good doing scalping but your playing with fire if you going to use big lot size. As the more you use big lot size the nearer you going to get MC in no time. And also what will be your SL if you going to use big Lot size? As small pips loses and you are already in deep whole.
