Return Achieved
π 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
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 Missed Opportunities
β οΈ Shows trades that showed profit potential but still ended in loss:

π Profit Giveback Analysis (Max Return vs Exit Return)
π Shows relationship between best performance and final outcome:
β’ Left columns β Gave back most profits (exited poorly)
β’ Right columns β Captured most profits (exited well)
β’ Diagonal β Exited near peak performance
β’ Helps identify if you exit too early or too late
Example: "15 spreads reached only 0-49% max return and exited at a loss"
β’ Left columns β Gave back most profits (exited poorly)
β’ Right columns β Captured most profits (exited well)
β’ Diagonal β Exited near peak performance
β’ Helps identify if you exit too early or too late
Example: "15 spreads reached only 0-49% max return and exited at a loss"
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 spreadsβ’ Doesn't account for net debit cost
β’ Misleading for defined-risk strategies
Return Percentages (Correct for spreads):
β’ Shows actual profit percentageβ’ Accounts for cost (net debit)
β’ Matches how traders think about returns
π 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
π― 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
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
