About calculating the profit

New comment
 
Hello friends,
As you can see in the picture, I collected 600 points for Buy position in EURUSD currency pair, but it gives me 5.43 rather than 6$.
My code for exiting is:
      if(OrderSelect((int)BuyOrder[x],SELECT_BY_TICKET)==true)
      if(OrderProfit()>=OrderLots()*TakeProfit)
      if(OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),bid[x],Slippage,clrNONE)==true)
While TakeProfit is 600.

What is the problem? I exited with 600 points but it gave me 5.43. Why?

Commission, swap.

Commission, swap.

Thank you!
One more question: after the order has been closed, if we select the order, Does OrderProfit() include Commission and Swap too? or they are independent from OrderProfit() even after closing?

No.

 

Total Profit is OrderProfit() + OrderSwap() + OrderCommission(). Some brokers don't use the Commission/Swap fields. Instead, they add balance entries. (Maybe related to Government required accounting/tax laws.)
