Backtest Summary

This backtest shows a Credit Put Spread strategy on SPY from Dec 31, 2014 - Dec 31, 2019, placing 1158 trades that stayed open for an average of 13 days. The results were impressive - winning 84.02% of the time (973 wins vs 185 losses), which shows remarkable consistency. This translated to $745,161.90 in total profits. On average, each position made $643.49. When annualized, that's a 53.3% return (CAGR), which suggests strong growth potential if maintained over time. The journey was quite volatile though - at its worst, the account was down 91.3%, which would require strong conviction to ride out. The Sharpe ratio of 1.63 suggests the returns were worth the risk. Bottom line: this strategy looks promising for anyone seeking consistent, well-managed returns.
