Is there an existing method that will provide the total returns for a security account
I need to get the total returns for a security in an investment account.
Total returns = (proceeds from all sales + dividends+ misc income) - cost of all buys.
I've searched through the documentation but I don't see such a function - does one exist? If not, what's the best way to create one? Should I retrieve all the transactions for the security account and iterate through them accumulating the values? Is this an expensive function in terms of performance?

I'm a fellow user.
The return amount on the investment report looks like it may give what you want.
The definition on how this is calculated is in the thread:

hmm seems I may have posted too soon, I only just noted you posted this in the extensions forum not the investment forum.
My apologies

Thanks. Failing a different answer, I'll try to find a coding example in existing extensions.
