Running Book: 994 Closed Trades, 44% Win Rate
Over the trailing 365 days, the algorithm has closed 994 trades with a 44% win rate (expired contracts counted as losses). The profit factor stands at 3.46, with an average return per trade of 33.4% (outliers capped at ±150%). Average winners land at +107.9% while average losers sit at -24.1%. Today's session—dominated by premium-exit wins across options and a handful of stock-target closes—reinforces the longer-term pattern of asymmetric payoff: fewer winners, but substantially larger gains per winner than per loser.
