    Hello John. Appreciate your question.

    Which version of Quicken are you using? Is it for PC or Mac: https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/add-your-quicken-information-to-your-posts-plus-...

    Thank you in advance.

    Respectfully,
    ~ Quicken Harold.

    Certainly there is a way -- it could be programmed in.  That is what this "Idea" post might accomplish.  In light of the 1-month, 3-month, 12-month, and 'entire time' options, YTD could be a reasonable addition.  

    OTOH, I am not clear what value that information adds.  Gain/loss is a specific and limited measure.  (Similarly, I do not see value in the other less-than-total time periods.)  To make your case, you might need to expand on how and why such information would be useful.

    Also you might look at the Return columns in the Investing Portfolio views to see if they meet your needs. Note that the Return (%) YTD numbers are downloaded quote data. The best corresponding percentage number is the ROI (%) YTD.
