PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PROFIT) - which currency?

[[Deleted]]

Hello, just a quick question:

In which currency is the profit returned when calling PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PROFIT)?
Is it the currency of the user account or is it the quote currency?

I could not find the answer in the documentation, so maybe it would be nice to add it.

Greetings

Christian

The answer is available, but .. Read carefuly again:

The function returns the requested property of an open position, pre-selected usingPositionGetSymbo

.

.

~ Symbol = Currency ~

Thank you very much. This would mean that OrderCalcProfit is actually the better choice if one is interested in a preliminary evaluation of the profit of a trade operation in the account currency.

Two people saying two different things. Can someone clarify?

@Moderators: What about just adding it to the documentation right here
https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/tradingconstants/positionproperties#enum_position_property_double

to avoid the confusion?

For change/update in the documentation you need to ask to Metaquotes ServiceDesk.

Yes, but Stanislav said it is the account currency and Mohammad said it is the currency of the symbol.

currency of the symbol ? it's meaningless.

Mohammad is a nice guy but I would not rely on his answers.

Alright, just tested it quickly and it seems Stanislav is right indeed.

All of you thank you for your answers.
