However, when we look at large percentage short position gains or in total, it can cause huge calculation errors.
Short position profit is calculated as follows:
Profit Percent = pp
Short Position Profit = ((100 / (100 - pp )) - 1 ) * 100
Short Position Profit = ((100/98.47) - 1 ) * 100
Short Position Profit = (0.0155) * 100 = 1.55 (percent)
Total Profit = (Lev * Short Position Profit * Position Size) / 100 =
= (33 * 1.55 * 3) / 100 = 1.5345
Our new capital = 100 + 1.5345 = 101.534
