Backtest Summary
This backtest shows a Short Put strategy on SPX from Dec 10, 2024 - Dec 10, 2025, placing 114 trades that stayed open for an average of 15 days. Despite winning only 39.47% of trades (45 vs 69), the winners were big enough to generate $815,465.18 in profits. On average, each position made $7,153.20. When annualized, that's a 816.9% return (CAGR), which suggests strong growth potential if maintained over time. The journey was quite volatile though - at its worst, the account was down 33.7%, which would require strong conviction to ride out. With a Sharpe ratio of 6.35, the returns were excellent relative to the risk taken. While it made money, there's definitely room to improve the consistency and risk management here.
