I have the same problem figuring how I am doing percentage-wise. I am always putting money in, and occasionally taking some out, plus in my overall spreadsheet I count all the dividend reinvestments as a new buy.

So I could not put a single penny into my trading account for six months, and by selling some stocks and buying others plus the dividends during those months, increase my overall capital invested by a lot.

So I need to figure out a way to take into account only the money that has entered or left my account, plus that some of the money entered only partway through the period over which I am trying to calculate the percentage return.

My holdings mirror this thread to a large extent.Hard to find much fault with the winning percentage of everyone here.Think koan mentioned that more eyes watching and minds thinking is a sure way to up returns.Often it is the stocks not mentioned and mistakes avoided that make the big difference.Very few stock wipeout's here.Also get to learn what to eat and hear some great tunes.lol
