Backtest Summary

This backtest shows a strategy on SPY from Mar 24, 2020 - Dec 10, 2025, placing 58 trades that stayed open for an average of 179 days. Despite winning only 48.28% of trades (28 vs 30), the winners were big enough to generate $3,674,510.00 in profits. On average, each position made $63,353.62. When annualized, that's a 88.8% return (CAGR), which suggests strong growth potential if maintained over time. The journey was quite volatile though - at its worst, the account was down 56.6%, which would require strong conviction to ride out. The Sharpe ratio of 1.75 suggests the returns were worth the risk. Notably, the strategy captured 480.9% of the premium sold, which is excellent. While it made money, there's definitely room to improve the consistency and risk management here.
