If he used that formula then it would be wrong. If they are trading with a daily percentage gain as reported then they would operate on daily compounded balances from day 1 to last trading day of month so just doing 1+2+3 would not show the compounded % outcome over the 20 odd trading days and if that is how they calculated it then its by default clear they don't even know how much they are earning.
Just saying that the 9.22% figure at the bottom is correct as the formula used was to simply add up the percentages of each respective day.
But yeah, adding the percentages for each day would definitely NOT be the way to calculate the total monthly profit as a percentage. Correctly calculated for a compound formula (using the daily percentages shown there) it would be 9.65% "profit" at the end of the month.
