GetCurrentProfit Module – Real-Time Floating Profit Calculation for MetaTrader 5

The GetCurrentProfit Module is a practical utility designed to calculate the real-time floating profit of an Expert Advisor, including commissions, swap, and active position results. By filtering positions by symbol and Magic Number, it provides an accurate profit metric that belongs only to the EA, avoiding interference from manual trades or other robots.

This module is essential for EAs that require dynamic risk management, equity-based decisions, trailing systems, or profit-target logic.

In this imge you can see how Floating P/L is use on GUI to count only this amount of this specific EA:

Purpose

Knowing the exact floating profit of your EA is critical for:

Triggering take-profit or stop-loss conditions based on total floating value
Managing risk dynamically

int OnInit() {
  Print("Robot Loaded Successfully...");
  return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}

Scaling systems using floating drawdown

Monitoring EA performance in real time
Closing baskets of trades when a profit threshold is reached

This module provides an accurate and fast method to calculate these values.

How It Works

1. Global Variables and Magic Number

The module begins by creating a variable to store the current floating value, and sets a Magic Number for filtering:

double totalProfit = 0;
input long MagicNumber = 7483;

Only positions belonging to the robot will be included.

2. Initialization

Upon loading the EA, a confirmation message is printed:

int OnInit() {
  Print("Robot Loaded Successfully...");
  return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}

3. Real-Time Execution

On every tick, the EA updates the floating profit:

void OnTick() {
  GetCurrentProfit();
  Comment("Current Floating = " + (string)totalProfit);
}

The floating value is displayed directly on the chart.

4. Profit Calculation Algorithm

The GetCurrentProfit() function:

Resets the profit variable
Iterates through all open positions
Filters by symbol and Magic Number
Retrieves profit, swap, volume, and applies a commission formula
Accumulates the total floating profit

Core function:

double GetCurrentProfit() {
  totalProfit = 0.0;

  for (int i = PositionsTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    PositionGetTicket(i);

    string positionSymbol = PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL);
    long positionMagicNumber = PositionGetInteger(POSITION_MAGIC);

    double positionProfit = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PROFIT);
    double positionSwap   = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_SWAP);
    double positionVolume = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME);

    double Comission = -(positionVolume * 7); // Broker commission per volume

    if (positionSymbol == _Symbol && positionMagicNumber == MagicNumber) {
      totalProfit += positionProfit + positionSwap + Comission;
    }
  }

  return totalProfit;
}

The commission is calculated manually using a fixed multiplier, which you can adjust to match your broker’s fee model.
