Return Achieved
πŸ“ˆ Shows maximum profit potential reached during each trade:
β€’ 200%+ = More than tripled your money
β€’ 100-199% = Doubled to tripled (200-300% total)
β€’ 50-99% = Made 50-99% profit at best point
β€’ 0-49% = Small profit or breakeven
β€’ Loss = Never went profitable
Calculated as: (Max Spread Value - Cost) Γ· Cost
Year 200%+ 100-199% 50-99% 0-49% Loss
❌ Missed Opportunities
⚠️ Shows trades that showed profit potential but still ended in loss:
β€’ Identifies "painful" trades where you could have taken profits
β€’ High numbers suggest poor profit-taking discipline
β€’ Helps improve exit timing and trade management
Example: "3 spreads reached 200%+ return but still closed at a loss"

β€’ Right columns β†’ Captured most profits (exited well)

Understanding Bull Call Spread Metrics

Why Return Percentages instead of Price Multiples?

Traditional Price Multiples (Wrong for spreads):
β€’ 2x price multiple β‰  200% return for spreads
β€’ Doesn't account for net debit cost
β€’ Misleading for defined-risk strategies
Return Percentages (Correct for spreads):
β€’ Shows actual profit percentage
β€’ Accounts for cost (net debit)
β€’ Matches how traders think about returns
πŸ“‹ Calculation Example:
Buy Call: 53.65 | Sell Call: 16.05 β†’ Net Debit: 37.60
During trade: Spread value reaches 90.00
Return = (90.00 - 37.60) Γ· 37.60 = 139% return
This goes in 100-199% bucket
🎯 How to Use These Metrics:
  • Return Achieved: Assess trade setup quality
  • Missed Opportunities: Improve profit-taking discipline
  • Giveback Analysis: Optimize exit timing

Bull Call Spread Calculations:
β€’ Net Debit = Buy Premium - Sell Premium
β€’ Max Profit (Theor) = (Sell Strike - Buy Strike) - Net Debit
β€’ Max Loss (Theor) = Net Debit (premium paid)
β€’ High/Low = Spread value (Buy Price - Sell Price) during trade
β€’ Actual PnL = Exit Spread Value - Entry Spread Value
