Order profit calculation

[Forex Trader]

Dear Gurus,

Could somebody clarify how does the OrderProfit() function work?

Does the return value depend on the number of lots traded or not?

Does it depend on whether I have a mini or standard account and if I trade micro or normal lots?

Let's take an example: say that I have bought on a mini account 0.1 micro lots at the price of 1.3000 and later on I sold at 1.3005

What would OrderProfit() return in this case?

5 PIPs ?

0.5 PIPs?

Maybe something else?

Best regards,

Levente

The OrderProfit() function provides the physical order profit/loss for the selected Order. So if you're base currency is $ the P/L would be in $. To get the full picture you need to consider the OrderSwap() as well.
