Backtest Summary
This backtest shows a Short Put strategy on SPY from Dec 8, 2020 - Dec 8, 2025, placing 230 trades that stayed open for an average of 180 days. With a solid 63.48% win rate (146 winners and 84 losers), the strategy proved reliable. This translated to $1,158,154.52 in total profits. On average, each position made $5,035.45. When annualized, that's a 310.1% return (CAGR), which suggests strong growth potential if maintained over time.
