Re: [BestCharts] BestCharts Gains

[Rob Kipp]

Oh yes, the magic of compounding.  I did find two formulas on BestCharts web site which I don't completely understand but guess the results being shown by BestCharts are correct with compounding. Thanks for your help Rik, Rob Kipp formula - resource codes 1.  dReturn=(dSellPrice-dBuyPrice)/dBuyPrice*100.0; 2.  dTotal=(1.0+dTotal/100.0)*(1.0+dReturn/100.0)*100.0-100.0; ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: BestCharts@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 3:08 PM Subject: RE: [BestCharts] BestCharts Gains Gains are calculated cumulatively, not additively.
