I am completely out of PM now, but I would like to know if I made a profit or loss, and how much. I have downloaded all transactions (not easy as you have to do it in 3 month chunks and stitch them together) but I cannot get the figures to reconcile. Can anyone see where I am going wrong? Since the platform balance is now zero total withdrawal minus total deposits should equal the profit (loss) over the life of the platform. Unfortunately these are not explicitly shown in the transactions although there are debits and credits. The profit (loss) should then equal some combination of other transactions types, which are Total Cashback
Final Bonus
Interest
Invest
Property Sale
Refund
Rent
Return Of Capital
SM Purchase
SM Sale
Can anyone make it work on their own transactions, or at least suggest what should work?
(i can't use the alternative method of comparing deposits and withdrawals to/from my bank as I opened my PM account in Jan 2015 and can't access bank transactions that far back.)

All I do is download my account history (which gives me all transactions since I opened my account). Then I add up all my payments in and subtract my withdrawals. That tells me if I am up or down.

You might want to check the transactions. After a thorough audit I have found that a total of £2000 deposits are missing from the statement, although the investments and subsequent sales are shown. So subtracting deposits from withdrawals overstates profit by £2000. Analysing all the other data types now nearly reconciles with a discrepancy of just 70p. You should be able to check the profit or loss you calculated against the net of of the other data types. The good news is that rather to my surprise a made a modest profit overall. Although I have not calculated the XIRR which will be pitiful.
