Using Pips Pop Up makes it easy to know your profit and loss in pips and points!
When this Expert Advisor (EA) is active, basic information of the position closed, such as symbol name, result pips, and profit or loss in your currency, are popped up on the chart to which this EA is attached at the moment your position is closed.*
It also provides optional parameters to change the font style, size, color, the location to show results, speed of their scrolling, duration of showing etc. You can change them and customize it just as you want.
In addition, Pips Pop Up sums up the pips and profits/losses of the positions that are closed (and the results were shown on your chart). The total pips and profits are printed on Expert tab in the toolbox any time, only by pressing Esc key (default) when the chart to which this EA is added is active.
*The time when this EA shows the results might be delayed (in such cases usually they are shown in some seconds or less) because of the situation of the markets, internet connection, a lot of orders handled at the same time, etc. In such cases, please press the key of reload_key (the default is F5, you can change to another key by editing this input).

Note:
When you changed any parameter(s), I would recommend you restart MetaTrader 5; the text delays more often after parameter changes for some technical reasons.
