What am I missing about most traders ROR?

I have been trading/Investing for 14 years now, on average I do 1 trade every 2 months and my average holding period is 15 months. My average yearly ror over the past 14 years is %22 and my account size is around 550k. All i do is buy big name stocks and sell covered calls. When I look at ror of most hedge funds and traders i see it mostly much lower than mine why is that? Like am I really that good? Should i start a hedge fund? Or is there something i am missing here? I understand if you were trading with one 1 billion dollars it might become hard to get high ror the bigger you get but still, is it really that much?
