ok thanks
  
double pipsmultiplier;
void init()
{
 if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==3 && MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==5)
 {
  pipsmultiplier=10;
 }
 else
 {
  pipsmultiplier=1; 
 }
}
void start()
{
 getprofit();
}

void getprofit()
    {
     double profits;
     for (int i=OrdersHistoryTotal() -1; i >= 0; i--) 
       { 
       if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY)==true){
        if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol())
           if(OrderType() == OP_BUY || OrderType() == OP_SELL)
               {               
                profits += OrderProfit()+OrderSwap()+OrderCommission();
               } 
        }       
       }  
       double prof=NormalizeDouble((profits)/(pipsmultiplier)*MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT),8);                      
       Print("net profit",prof);
    }
 

Hmm first of all in your Init() you need to change your && to ||.

Secondly you can not simply divide your profit by point to tell you how many pips you made.

You are not taking into consideration the size of a trade.

100.00 made on a 1 lot trade is only 10 pips.

100.00 made on a .01 lot trade is 1000 pips.

That assumes you are trading something that ends in USD like EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD.

If it is USDJPY or GBPCHF you have some more math to do. Have fun..

PipPip..Jimdandy.

p.s. putting (profits) and (pipsmultiplier) in their own parentheses accomplishes nothing.

maybe you meant (profits/pipsmultiplier)?

Profit in Points is the difference between the entry price and the exit price, it has nothing to do with the $ profit from a trade

There is no code below your post
  
double pipsmultiplier;
void init()
{
 if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==3 && MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==5)
 {
  pipsmultiplier=10;
 }
 else
 {
  pipsmultiplier=1; 
 }
}
void start()
{
 getprofit();
}

void getprofit()
    {
     double profits;
     for (int i=OrdersHistoryTotal() -1; i >= 0; i--) 
       { 
       if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY)==true){
        if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol())
           if(OrderType() == OP_BUY || OrderType() == OP_SELL)
               {               
                profits += OrderProfit()+OrderSwap()+OrderCommission();
               } 
        }       
       }  
       double prof=NormalizeDouble((profits)/(pipsmultiplier)*MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT),8);                      
       Print("net profit",prof);
    }
