How is Signal Growth YTD calculated? - page 2

 
Giulio Braga:

Yet, if you have an account that had an initial deposit of 300, and now has a current 360, common sense will say that it is currently growing at a 20% rate.

I find this growth calculation mostly misleading to evaluate the performance of a signal.

Your example is correct, but don't forget the compounding factor (in growth calculation).

 
Diego Lenti:
and when the month is negative, how should we include it in the calculation?

Everything is taken into account.
