anyone got a problem with the XIRR and time-weighted returns? When I key in some of my past transactions, I get things like -100% on some years and 1000% on others. Wonder what's the underlying algo.

Check out Internal Rate of Return.

XIRR uses dates to calculate IRR. if your portfolio is small and you FIFO, your XIRR will be very big negative or positive.

i.e. A portfolio with a single contra position with 10% gain over 3 days is roughly 10866909% XIRR.


Sorry ah... reading thread from the very first post

Some of my 2013 contract notes are incomplete. Then some of them I bought in 2013 and sold in 2014, like that might as well just take out that 2 years to better reflect my positions in these 2 years.

Should have the habit of putting everything in excel for all my years, but too bad I only have that habit ever since 2012.

yyhwin, does this look familiar to you?

This person also started recording in excel since 2012, but incomplete data in 2013 .

Where you get this curve?

I never really keep track.
Now based on whatever contract I have on hand, I am + 44.41 % since 2012/2013, including paper loss on noble, excluding my recent purchase which I do not wish to disclose.

This guy +50% at end 2015. Roughly there la.
Is that you?

 

[OngHuatHuat]

Not me.

In 2012/2013, I shifted most of my funds from stock market to real estate market, so that I can take advantage of my young age to own more properties.
In 2014, I restarted my stock investment after a significant decrease of my funds in previous 2 years.

Thanks! This does seem similar to what I was doing - adding those 1 to 2 days trades. Didn't seem to have a problem when I was doing it in Excel though..
