Profit in points?

New comment
 
Please, in the "history" tab, is there any way for the "profit" column to be in points instead of monetary balance?

It can be done through a calculation. A script can be made to calculate it automatically.

// Following code calculates the total profit of the open positions for the current symbol or chart only. 
// You can change the RunningProfit function not to exclude other symbols.
// I am an amateur hobyist coder so my code might not look pretty or make sense to seasoned programers, but hey it works.
// I coudn't find a way of including commissions for those who trade with brokers who charge commissions.

   for (int i=PositionsTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)//Go through all the positions 
               {
                  string symbol=PositionGetSymbol(i); //Get the current symbol of each position
                     if (_Symbol==symbol) // Include only positions of current symbol on chart. You can omit this if you want total profit of all positions.
                          {
                           double SinglePositionCurrentProfitCash =PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PROFIT)+ PositionGetDouble(POSITION_SWAP);//Get the position profit in Cash
                              if (PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE)==ORDER_TYPE_SELL)
                                 {SinglePositionCurrentProfitPips =PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN) - Ask ;//Get the Sell positions profit in price difference
                                   }
                              if (PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE)==ORDER_TYPE_BUY)
                                 {SinglePositionCurrentProfitPips = Bid-PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN); //Get the Buy positions profit price difference
                                 }
                           
                           RunningProfitCash = RunningProfitCash + NormalizeDouble(SinglePositionCurrentProfitCash,2); // Adding profits of current symbol positions     
                           RunningProfitPips = RunningProfitPips + int (SinglePositionCurrentProfitPips/_Point); // Divide price difference then convert to points. Then add all profits in points
                           }// End If loop 
               
                 }// End for loop
        RunningProfitCash = RunningProfitCash;
        RunningProfitPips = RunningProfitPips;
 }
This is a code I made as part of a larger expert. It works for your purpose. Hope you find it useful.

How to turn profit into profit points?

Wisam Abdelazim Ibrahim Mohamed, 2023.08.27 21:31

a small modification give real points of profit


int cs = SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_TRADE_CONTRACT_SIZE);

RunningProfitPips = RunningProfitPips + int (SinglePositionCurrentProfitPips * cs );
