Shouldn't it be this ?

Print("Profit Now ", PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PROFIT) );

I believe RaptorUK is correct. Strange thought that POSITION_PROFIT initializes as 10 :)

Br, Candles

EDIT: OK, all of the ENUM_POSITION_PROPERTY_DOUBLE have initial integer values. Probably has some deeper meaning which I cannot understand :)

My apologies for the OT.

POSITION_PROFIT is from an ENUM and is an integer constant.

PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PROFIT) is a function that return a double and take an ENUM (integer with limited dataset) as parameter.

Nothing with "some deeper meaning" here.
