Re: [amibroker] % (Percent) Profit in System Test - How to fix Problem?

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

Most probably you are using incorrect settings.

Percent profit of position is calculated as Dollar profit divided by entry value of the position (not portfolio).
In your example you seem th have set entry value as 0.01

Write to support with your settings and formula attached if you need more help.

Best regards,
