right, and since we can't retrieve all the history data there is common method of averaging (make sense)
as RR mentioned :

hi fxbs I am writing my first expert , I am using this funciton but I am not sure its 100% correct, sorry I am still debugging my code but I hope you get the idea

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| COUNT THE PIPS IN LOSS |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double LossPips (int mgc) // function will count the open pips & return LossPips
{

for(nCnt = 0; nCnt < OrdersTotal(); nCnt++)
{
int PipsOpenPL=0;
OrderSelect(nCnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if(OrderMagicNumber() == mgc)
{
if (OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{
PipsOpenPL=PipsOpenPL+MathRound((OrderClosePrice()-OrderOpenPrice())/MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT));
}
if (OrderType()==OP_SELL)
{
PipsOpenPL=PipsOpenPL+MathRound((OrderOpenPrice()-OrderClosePrice())/MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT));

}
}
return(PipsOpenPL);
}

}

come on it was funny
