40 pips is easy, more is possible, depending on how much time you trade.
If around and able to watch the screen every half hour or so, enter a trade in direction of price and indicators on M15 chart. Set a TP of 10 pips and no SL. Watch your trade and once TP is hit, start another trade. If you cannot stay at the screen, get out or stay out. Or if in the money set an SL at entry.
A friend of mine, working at the computer all day, runs a laptop on the side for this strategy and makes 60 - 80 pips net easy every day.

if you can make 60 to 80 pips easy everyday, what possibly could you be doing that would be more important than being at the screen? Heart surgery?
Sitting at the screen all day and watching a stupid line and indicators is not for everybody - not even for the money. For some, there is more than just simply making profit. Like studying, creating ads, writing articles or other stuff, that keeps your mind alert and fits your higher endeavors.

I prefer to go with weekly goals rather than daily. From experience, setting daily minimums creates too much noise in your results and at times leads to excessive over trading. With weekly goals, your equity curve is smoother, imo.
That being said, my "minimum" goal is 100 pips a week and it has produced steady results.

I have another key rule... I don't take a trade unless I think it has a shot at more than 20 pips. No overtrading...
Unless you have a plan on how much to make you don't make enough money is my experience. Got to have set goals and a set business plan!
