You've hit on exactly why talking about pips is a completely meaningless exercise. Unless two traders are trading exactly the same way, there's no basis for comparisson. Start talking risk adjusted returns and you'll get my attention.
I have actually see a system vendor promoting results in which they aggregated the pips from multiple simultaneous open pair positions in the total. What a joke!
If you can make 5-6% per month consistently you're crushing the vast majority of forex traders.
