How is the growth rate for a signal provider calculated?

[waselfirst]

I find the growth rates to be quite confusing. If you could please explain the method used. How can for example an account has grown by 15000% while in simple financial terms their account is only ten or fifteen times the initial deposit, hence, 1000 to 1500% growth.

• How is the Growth in Signals Calculated?
  and
• How is the year-to-date growth (YTD) calculated, if a sum of monthly growths differs from this value?
