OrderProfit()

[Proximus]

Question about the:

OrderProfit()

Does it return the net profit aka the profit without spread or including spread ?

Since the documentation says it returns the profit without swap & comission, but doesnt say anything about spread?

Including. On a Buy you pay the spread when you open. On a Sell you pay the spread when you close. Profit = (OOP-OCP) * Lots * DeltaPerLot

Ok cool.So that means that when the order is opened OrderProfit is negative and its first value = current spread calculated in cash, and only after the trade went enough in the good direction it is becoming positive.Nice.

In all case you pay the spread when the trade is closed.

What are you talking about? You cannot exclude the spread.
