AccountProfit( ) return as pips?

Mazoem:
I am using the following code to display the profit of my trades right on the chart:

double accp = AccountProfit();

ObjectCreate("ap", OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);

ObjectSetText("ap","Profit: $",14, "Arial Bold", White);

ObjectSet("ap", OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);

ObjectSet("ap", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 900);

ObjectSet("ap", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 2);

ObjectCreate("ap1", OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);

ObjectSetText("ap1",DoubleToStr (accp, 2),14, "Arial Bold", White);

ObjectSet("ap1", OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);

ObjectSet("ap1", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 995);

ObjectSet("ap1", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 2);

Is there any way to make the function return the profit as pip's like you can do in the Terminal - Trade tab?

lowphat:
could you make some kind of var that holds ask or bid and assoiate that with specific entrys and compare to current ask or bid

squigglefunk:
no. theres no way.

waaustin:
Cool. i've been looking for an indicator to do this. Could you post the actual indicator code

kokas:
I think it is possible:

Just:

1. Check number of open trades,

2. for each open trade {

- Calculate the pip value of this symbol using the following function

- Calculate profit and calculate profit / pipvalue

- add this value to total pips

- Calculate the value of the swap for this order

- Add (swap / pipvalue) to swappips

}

//+--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----+

//+ Calculate cost in USD of 1pip of given symbol

//+--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----+

double PipCost (string TradeSymbol) {

double Base, Cost;

string TS_13, TS_46, TS_4L;

TS_13 = StringSubstr (TradeSymbol, 0, 3);

TS_46 = StringSubstr (TradeSymbol, 3, 3);

TS_4L = StringSubstr (TradeSymbol, 3, StringLen(TradeSymb ol)-3);

Base = MarketInfo (TradeSymbol, MODE_LOTSIZE) * MarketInfo (TradeSymbol,

MODE_POINT);

if ( TS_46 == "USD" )

Cost = Base;

else if ( TS_13 == "USD" )

Cost = Base / MarketInfo (TradeSymbol, MODE_BID);

else if ( PairExists ("USD"+TS_4L) )

Cost = Base / MarketInfo ("USD"+TS_4L, MODE_BID);

else

Cost = Base * MarketInfo (TS_46+"USD" , MODE_BID);

return(Cost) ;

}

//+--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----+

//+ Returns true if given symbol exists

//+--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----+

bool PairExists (string TradeSymbol) {

return ( MarketInfo (TradeSymbol, MODE_LOTSIZE) > 0 );

}

If you need help coding this I can help you tomorow.
