How do you calculate how many ticks of profit been made?

Would it just be as easy as:

1) set a tickCount variable to zero (0) when your order is successful

2) while in the position, on each "OnTick" event, add 1 to your variable.

3) when the position is closed, save the tick count.

There is a variable for pips. Or you could calculate it manually from "EntryPrice" and "ClosingPrice" from the HistoricalTrade interface.

Hello,

Try the following:

var netProfitInTicks = position.NetProfit / (position.VolumeInUnits * Tick.Size);
