Hi Tomasz,

Please correct the system's calculation of % profit and profit on Short
selling. The profit can never be bigger than 100%. Example:

Sell 10000 units of XYZ at $1-00 each = $ 10 000-00
Buy 10000 units back at $0-01 each = $ 100-00

Profit equals $9 900-00
% Profit equals (9900/10000*100) = 99%

Regards.
