+ 2.5 pips = + $31.65

11.04.10

Variable Position Sizing is what I did today depending on how far my stop had to be place away from entry I adjusted my size. Min position size was at 25 cents per pip max size today was at $5 per pip. In general my max position size is $10 per pip and my min position size is 25 cents per pip.

Variable position sizing can create some weird stats. It's possible to be negative total pips with a positive bottom line. Today my 2.5 pips for plus $31.65 suggests I was trading $12.66 per pip.

If I exit 2 places from initial entry then I'll take the average pips earned for that trade as the pip count.

The dollar figure I earn or lose in a day is straight forward and is the only number that really matters.
