sdsarmad, absolute gain is a simple (profit/deposits)*100.
Cumulative gain on the other hand accumulates over your account's history. If you had one deposit only, the cumulative and the absolute gains would be the same. If you had multiple deposits, then for each deposit term, you need to calculate a yield (same formula as above) and sum it up. Example: 1. Deposit $1000, profit $500, gain is 50%, balance is now $1500. 2. Deposit another $2000, profit $500, yield is (500/3500)*100 = 14.2%. Cumulative yield is 50+14.2 = 64.2% and absolute yield is 1000/3000=33.3%. Let us know if it's still unclear. Got a question? Need help? Send me a message! |
