I don't know how to anyone can accurately back test my "Simple Strategy" since the strike and expiration change every day. I had a guy a couple of years ago said he back tested it and it lost money more days than not except it made money on Fridays. This was when the expiration was on Mon, Weds, and Friday.
l I finally figured out he was testing only the weekly on all three days. So I pointed out to him Friday was in his test was likely profitable because it was the only correct expiration he was testing. Suggested he try manually doing Mon and Wednesday too without the weekly time decay. Never heard from him again.
My "Broken Record Options" post as beginning to add up that sort of manual back test. To say nothing of any bank accounts. Today, by the way, my "Simple Strategy" raked in 320% on the today's SPY 436CALL minus the PUT loss, a day to live on top of 210% yesterday, a Thursday.
