Net profit in account history tab. Why not?

New comment
 
Can anyone explain to me why MT4 in the account history does not have the entry NET PROFIT (or similar) which also calculates the costs (swaps and commissions)? It is absurd that such an important thing is missing. What's the reason? Advice on how to do it?
 

It's worse than you think.

Do not count on OrderCommission and OrderSwap. Some brokers don't use those fields. (Maybe related to Government required accounting/tax laws.)

But why does Mt4 not indicate net profit? What's the point in having the PROFIT table, if it's not a profit? How do you do it?

I just add OrderProfit()+OrderCommission()+OrderSwap(), After selecting each order.

He is talking about the Account History tab in the terminal.

  1. Because that's how they wrote it (15 years ago.) The world doesn't revolve around you.
  2. There is a profit column, which is all you need unless you hold overnight (swap) or trade with a commissioned broker.
  3. Per #3, add the three columns to get net profit. (subject to #1)

  1. Yes, live with reality. Yes, in over nine years, I've not read any other post wanting that.
  2. You do not need it; live with reality. Add the three numbers. Your question has been answered.
  3. There is no how; live with reality. No one on this user's forum can change that.
