How to turn profit into profit points?
An example for NETTING! The choice of position is by SYMBOL !!!
You need to: get the position ID, then you must get all transactions that refer to this ID. Additionally, you need to summarize the profit of the current position.

Now you can get the price of the very first trade and get the difference between it and the position price . And if there is a difference, then it will be easy to make a profit in 'Points'.
Like that:

Result:

Thanks. I will study the files you sent.
But there is one thing I don't understand:
According the MQL5 Reference
SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE
Value of SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE_PROFIT
- SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE – one-tick price change value for a profitable position
Why some CFD get SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE = 0.1 , but In fact every 1 point value is 1.
Isn't SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE the value corresponding to every 1 point fluctuation?

Anyone can help me ask this question ?
To calculate the profit in points on a position, my method is:
int Ticket_ProfitPoint( ulong ticket) { if (!PositionInfo.SelectByTicket(ticket)) return ( 0 ); double profit = PositionInfo.Profit(); double volume = PositionInfo.Volume(); double tickvalue = SymbolInfoDouble (PositionInfo. Symbol (), SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE ); return (( int )(profit / volume / tickvalue)); });
The profit in points calculated by foreign exchange varieties is correct, but for some CFDs, such as XAUUSD, the result is wrong.
For example, XAUUSD, profit 0.02, position 0.01, tick_value=0.1. Points are calculated as = 20, but actual points = 2.
I want to know what is wrong? Is it wrong to use SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE in my formula? Doesn't SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE refer to the profit corresponding to a position fluctuation?

I know that the profit in points can be calculated from the price difference, but I would like to know where is my formula wrong?
If my formula is wrong, then assuming you know the profit in pips and the size of the position, it is impossible to reverse the profit.

It works for your purpose. Hope you find it useful.

a small modification give real points of profit
int cs = SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_TRADE_CONTRACT_SIZE);
RunningProfitPips = RunningProfitPips + int (SinglePositionCurrentProfitPips * cs );
