[amibroker] How is profit for a short worked out?

["amiabilityy" <amiabilityy@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi members.

  I have a question about short trades.

  Is the profit basically worked out similar to a long profit.

 e.g. the buy to sell value

 In a short trade could the profit be worked out in reverse 
( not in reference to ami, will be used for a spread sheet)  

  e.g.  If the short was $10.00 and the cover was $5,
  could i reverse these and say that there was a %100 profit.

 or are there oddities when working out the  profit of a short trade.

  Peter.
