Hi Max,
You might want to consider using POT (Profit On Turnover) instead of ROI (Return On Investment) to describe your results as it is more commonly used in horse racing. I say this as in your above examples you refer to getting back 3 units on an 11 unit outlay and calling it a 27% ROI which would indicate a profit when it is actually a loss (-8 units).
It is much the same calculation but you divide the actual profit (or loss) by the outlay and not the total return.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Matt.
