Is this sheet maybe more applicable????

I just need to be able to generate that in, say, june of 2005 the account grew by x% (unrealized and realized). I am so disgusted by this whole thing.

Trying to figure it out from adding or subtracting from a total equity is just going to give you a heart attack.

Your first attachment has the individual % return for each trade it seems, but it is missing correct dates.

Fix the dates, and then you can do it in Excel easily but simply graphing the F column "% return" grouping by month.
