Yes I guess it comes down to how you measure and benchmark performance.
As a note for the London Forex Open system they recommend trading with 3% capital per position and show the results on the site in both 'pip' terms and also as a percentage return in line with the money management suggested.
As an update October finished for me around breakeven on the GBPUSD and up on the EURUSD. No surprise really given the news events that keep hitting the market.
November has started with a +120 pip win (3%) on GPBUSD and no trade today, so hopefully we will get back on track!
