Re: [amibroker] Net Profit % is not giving the value I expect

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Net profit is profit of entire PORTFOLIO.

Individual trade profit is listed individally (on trade by trade basis).
As you probably now, percents do NOT add (rise 5% and subsequent fall -5% does not give you zero).
