Built a covered call backtesting tool - looking for beta testers

Backtest of 32 FOMC days: buying SPX options into the 2pm decision lost money on average
The naive Fed-day options play is to buy a straddle, or a directional call/put, because the 2pm decision is going to move the market. I backtested that idea across 32 FOMC days (June 2022 to April 2026, SPX 0DTE) and it loses money pretty consistently. Posting it because the reason …

My 15-point GO/NO-GO checklist before any options trade, because I kept breaking my own rules
Most of my losing trades had one thing in common: I knew better and entered anyway. Revenge entries, oversizing after a win streak, buying breakouts in chop. The strategy was fine. The discipline was not. So I turned my rules into a hard GO/NO-GO checklist. If any point fails, no …
