How do I return the profit value of a specific pair in MT4?

I did some searches on various websites with no results.

I am trying to figure out if there is a way in MT4 to return the profit value of a specific pair.

Exactly what the AccountProfit() returns, except only each individual pair's profit.

Thanks

You need to do that manually.

Inserted Code
//Calculate dollar profit per pair.
string Pair[];
double PairProfit[];

for(int TC = OrdersHistoryTotal(); TC >= 0; TC--)
   {
   OrderSelect(TC, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY);
   string PairMatch = "No";
   int PairShift = -1;
   for(int PCheck = ArraySize(Pair) - 1; PCheck >= 0; PCheck--)
      {
      if(OrderSymbol() == Pair[PCheck])
         {
         PairMatch = "Yes";
         PairShift = PCheck;
         break;
         }
      }
   if(PairMatch == "No")
      {
      Pair[ArrayResize(Pair, ArraySize(Pair) + 1) - 1] = OrderSymbol();
      PairShift = ArraySize(Pair) - 1;
      }
   PairProfit[PairShift] = PairProfit[PairShift] + OrderProfit();
   }

//Print all pair profits.

for(int PP = ArraySize(Pair) - 1; PP >= 0; PP--)
   {
   Print(Pair[PP]+" Profit: "+PairProfit[PP]);
   }
Something like that.

[edit]

For any member here who works as a full time programmer, is there any way for me to improve how I write code?

Thank you,
That is kind of what I figured, I just could not think of the logic behind it.

Although after I look at it your pulling profit trades out of the history, I am looking for current pair equity.

so lets say i have 4 trades open I want to know when combined if they are in profit or loss.

  for(int i=totalorders-1;i>=0;i--)
 {
    OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS);
    if ( OrderType() == OP_BUY&&OrderSymbol()==Symbol() )  {profit=profit+OrderProfit()+OrderSwap();buys=buys+1;buy_lots=buy_lots+OrderLots();}
    if ( OrderType() == OP_SELL&&OrderSymbol()==Symbol()  )   {profit=profit+OrderProfit()+OrderSwap();sells=sells+1;sell_lots=sell_lots+OrderLots();}
