Efficiency & Capital Performance
Metrics covering expectancy per trade, average days in trade (DIT), premium capture ratios, and average return on capital (ROC) are omitted due to the absence of duration and initial premium fields in the underlying ledger.
Tactical Insight
When navigating periods of sudden market compression or minor geopolitical shocks, premium expansion creates excellent opportunities to enter structurally sound positions. However, as demonstrated by the metrics, your average loss can occasionally outsize your average win if risk parameters are not strictly managed. Cultivating a high win rate provides an excellent buffer, but long-term profitability requires keeping defensive structures tight when underlying index spots shift rapidly.
Data Health Assessment
The sheets are in excellent health with no “ghost trades” or “zombie trades” detected. All listed profits match their respective exit dates perfectly. To expand the “Under the Hood” performance analytics, consider logging underlying trade duration, initial target premium, and strategy type tags in future entries.
