Well I can't make changes in my statement to show in pips rather than profits. I was just wondering if it's available somehow... perhaps somekind of an EA could do that?

If you are using metatrader right click on the profit column. You can then select if the profit/loss is displayed in the term currency, deposit currency, or as pips

Increase!....
(no funny)

common, guys, seriously -
there is no problem on open orders
after that - it converts to base curr amount - pips are gone (statement,$)

should be EAs, spreadsheet methods, etc - i believe someone who deal with it can tell

simply divide amount on closing rate - as people say "because of swaps, commissions - practically no way do the calculation by history data"

if there is an open price and a close price, you take their difference and divide by the point size.
