Use PositionProfit.

PositionProfit(0) gives you the profit or loss on the current trade.
PositionProfit(1) gives you the profit or loss on the previous trade.

You can divide this number by BigPointValue to get the profit in points.

I have learned that PositionProfit is broken in TS 7.0 but may be fixed
in 7.1.
