I use api order.getProfitLossInAccountCurrency() and order.getCommissionInUSD() to calculate the real profit.
But the calculated value is not equal the account profit that i compare the account Equity between order opened and closed.
Now i want to find the way to calc the real profit after order close, but how to do?

I have read the topic,but i think it can't resolve my problem.
The important point is that i need calc the real profit when close order.

The algorithm I calc profit :
profit = order.getProfitLossInUSD() - order.getCommissionInUSD()

We find out the result is not equal the real profit == account.getEquity()(before open order) - account.getEquity()(after close order 5s)
Please support a way resolve, thanks.

Did you take notice of the part about overnights and that the order commission gets applied also on order close?

I known we can use order.getCommissionInUSD to get the open Commission.
Truely I don't care of overnight Commission, I just want to get the close order Commission.

The method is the same also for the close commission.
