Recently, the market isn’t moving… Yet the reason you can aim for +10 pips: “Can you take it every day?”
Recently the market isn’t moving... Yet there’s a reason you can still aim for +10 pips every day: “Can I do this every day?”
【FAQ】Can you really take 10 pips every day? What I’m thinking when the market isn’t moving
This time, I’ll share a realistic answer to this question and a strategy to accumulate more pips during periods of low volatility
Lately, the market hasn’t been moving much...
Days like that have been continuing
In FX, you profit when there is price movement
No matter how good your method is, if volatility is extremely low, extending profits isn’t easy
That’s why I want to answer the common questions this time
“Can you really take 10 pips every day?”
Conclusion: It isn’t guaranteed that you’ll take 10 pips every single day
To answer briefly,
It’s not guaranteed you’ll take 10 pips every day
For example,
・Days with extremely low volatility
・Days when the market is paused waiting for important indicators
・Days with very short trading windows
On such days, you may not reach a total of 10 pips
Especially for working professionals,
you often have limited time to trade after work, after taking a bath, having a meal, and then going to bed
Naturally, the number of opportunities becomes limited
Still, on average, 10 pips is quite realistic
On the other hand, there are days when the market moves a lot
When a trend forms plainly,
when there are multiple entry opportunities,
on such days you can take 10 pips or more without special effort
In other words, you might have a day that only yields 5 pips
Even then,
on another day you might take 15 pips or 20 pips
As a result, on average
Around 10 pips per day is a realistically achievable target
When the market isn’t moving, increase the number of currency pairs
However, low-volatility markets can last for days, weeks even
In such times I think about
“Increase the number of opportunities”
If you’re only watching USD/JPY
* EUR/USD
* AUD/USD
* GBP/USD
and
look at currency pairs with relatively low spreads
Then, naturally,
you’ll have more entry opportunities than when you’re watching only one pair
It’s common that “USD/JPY doesn’t move, but EUR/USD trends nicely”
Increasing the number of monitored pairs equals increasing the number of opportunities accordingly
If you trade hard during a stagnant market and rack up needless stop-outs, wouldn’t you rather broaden currency pairs or spend time testing for the next big move?
In such times, a weapon is the “currency-weakness/strength-based trading logic,” but that’s for another occasion
Those who earn focus on the total rather than “every day”
The more stable FX traders actually don’t think in terms of a single day
On days with low volatility,
they accumulate total pips across multiple currency pairs
On days with high volatility, they lock in more profits than usual
In this way, they accumulate profits over a week or a month
Finally
“I didn’t take 10 pips today...”
There’s no need to feel down about it.
The market has days it moves and days it doesn’t
What matters isn’t forcing the same profit every day, but
steadily accumulating profits in situations with a favorable expectation
And on days when the market moves, make sure to grab the opportunity
That accumulation is what I believe eventually makes a big difference
Summary: two paths according to volatility
Rather than clinging to the fixed idea of “always 10 pips per day,” adapt flexibly to market conditions to stay profitable in the long run
On days with [low] volatility
Monitor multiple currency pairs and pick up the small opportunities to accumulate total pips
On days with [high] volatility
Ride the trend strongly on favorable pairs and build even more profits as if saving up
Both approaches are fully effective and sensible strategies
The methods I currently practice are here
(I’ve also added a currency strength filter here)
★★Steady trading of +10 pips per day (2–5 hours per day)★★
I’ve taken two methods taught by a genuine pro trader (my mentor) and combined the best parts,
and added a logic that clarifies entry points
Trading not to “win” but to “earn”
Trade with the expectation of going long where the upside probability is high
Thinking like an overseas pro trader (legendary investors Buffett and Soros)
