Subtract the current closing price of the open position from its opening price. It is that simple!

In your code you are using the CPositionInfo class, so use the methods PriceCurrent and PriceOpen of the selected position for this.

If you will work on all symbols, then you only need to change OnTick:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert tick function                                             |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnTick()
  {
   for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)  // returns the number of current positions
      if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i))        // selects the position by index for further access to its properties
        {
         //---
         ResetLastError();
         if(!m_symbol.Name(m_position.Symbol())) // sets symbol name
           {
            Print(__FILE__," ",__FUNCTION__,", ERROR: CSymbolInfo.Name");
            continue;
           }
         //---
         double profit=m_position.PriceCurrent()-m_position.PriceOpen();
         double profit_points=profit/m_symbol.Point();
        }
  }

If you will work only on the current symbol, then you need to make changes to both OnInit and OnTick:
