  1. I presume that by APR you mean Annual Percentage Rate. For one trade you have APR = (c1/c0) ^ (1/(t1-t0)) where c0 is the amount invested at t0 and c1 is the amount taken out at t1. (Both times in years.) For more than one trade you can use the Excel IRR function or calculate t0 and t1 as capital weighted time averages.
