But there is one major flaw which needs to be rectified

Because your portfolio is tracked on a total value invested basis 
(including transaction costs etc) this means that whenever you invest more 
money into the portfolio you get an immediate performance uplift which is 
misleading.  If you have a set investment pool then this is not a problem 
however if you are constantly investing more money into the market (e.g. 
through your wage or other income sources) then the performance of your 
portfolio is misleading (i.e. it looks much higher than it should)

This is a relatively easy problem to fix.  All google needs to do is fix 
the graph so that any additions to the portfolio do not affect the indexed 
value of the portfolio - however they have not done this yet. Once they get 
this right this will be quite a useful tool for benchmarking performance. 
 Until they get this right however it is absolutely useless as an 
analytical tool.

- I tried to embed the Flash source, but I can't get this working.
- The Google Finance API seems to be deprecated

 Any ideas?

Indeed. Ideal solution is to calculate Time Weighted Return (TWR). I used 
therefore www.profitmapper.com, which supports TWR, I was very happy with 
it, but that site is not working properly anymore (for the moment?). 
Therefore I looked for an alternative (Google Finance), but this seems not 
possible to integrate. So I'm stuck :-(
