intraday trading swing size?

How big does an intraday swing in trading (primarily Forex) have to be (as a guide). I heard 25+ pips on the m5 is okay? Can anyone elaborate please? I am looking to pick high/lows and retrace areas.

If you are new to FX start small. On a full contract 25 pips is $250. On a mini lot it’s $25. I can limit my downside to about $15 includin the spread which is why people saying Fx is risky is just plain wrong. Try to limit like that on stocks, options, or futues. Your trading style will determine your risk tolerence , timeframe, lot size,
