Quicken does not calculate daily % or increase, or return YTD $ or %.
This happen with securities that were purchased at the beginning of the year

You are correct in that these calculations are not at all accurate.I maintain separate Excel sheets to reflect my real returns

The Price Day Change would need a price change from the previous day in a security's price history.

The Return YTD requires the security is held on December 31 of the prior year.

Sherlock, tks...I'm using Quicken DeLuxe 2020\, verion R26.17, build 27.1.26.17.
And, obviously when I said that does not calculate % is because prior day, and current day prices are there. The same happens with return YTD the numbers are there, but the actual difference between the valuations are not there.
