How to calculate estimated profit/loss base on the formular on the docs

[tomtom555]

I got this formula here https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tion_modes.htm

I find it difficult to apply the formula. My mission is to calculate what will be the profit after my sellLimit TP is filled before executing the order.

This is what i have tried according to the docs above:

        double calcProfit(string Mode, uint LS, double quantity, double exitPrice, double entryPrice){
            /*@Params
                Mode C=Currency, P=Percent, Po=Points, Pi=Pips,  T=Ticks
                LS  1=long, -1=short
            @DOCS
                https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?profit_and_loss_calculation_modes.htm
            **/
            double profitInPoint = LS * quantity * (exitPrice - entryPrice) / (exitPrice* Instrument.MasterInstrument.PointValue) / 1;


            return profitInPoint;
        }​

But it not given me to correct profit in point.

Please how can i calculate the profit either in Currency, Points or Percent?

Hello tomtom555,

For points this would be the entry minus the exit and then multiplied by the quantity.

For currency, the above value (already calculated) would be multiplied by the point value.

Currently you are only multiplying the exit with the point value and not the entry minus the exit first, and then multiplied by the point value.
