With my Broker I can't select the amount of Demo money the account starts with so my Demo account is at $100K so it would be nice to know how much drawdown the account went into for the week or whatever so I know that if I was to deposit $100 into a Live account, I wouldn't have blown it do to a margin call. Thx
The short answer to your question is 'No'.

The long answer is this: MQL does not provide a function to get the UPL for a certain historic date. One way to approximate this is by dissecting the reporting period in a sequence of one-minute candles, working out which of the selected trades (filtered by magic number, comment-fields etc) were open on that candle and for each of them work out their unrealised pip count (by comparing their open price with the one-minute candle close price for that candle). This would give you a minute-by-minute unrealised pip count (that can be converted to dollars using the lotsize).

Problem with this is that the one-minute historic data feed is not accurate and MQL just throws you a number if it hasn't got the data loaded (meaning that you can get different answers for different runs).

Hope not to disappoint you.

Hi renexxxx,

I'm writing to ask for a slight mod, that I think others with less than perfect eyesight will appreciate as well. Would it be possible to change the color of the totals at the bottom to something more legible? The red on grey is a real challenge for my eyes. Even with glasses, I cannot read the negative pip count as it's displayed right now.

A color choice would be awesome, but just plain white (like the others are) would be just fine. Thanks for considering, Andy

Wolfeman,

I still would like to visually indicate whether it is positive or negative result. How about this:

Here I changed the back ground color of the grand total PIPs and Dollars to one of the alternating row back ground colors and also changed the border colors of the cells. Also, increased the font size slightly.

Is this better? If so, I will update post 1.

Thanks again rene, it looks just great. Now I can see how I lost 1400+ pips this week and still made money.
