Is it really worth it?

I've been trying wheel strategy on a portfolio since 12th of February 2026.
Mostly staying within these parameters: delta 0.27–0.35, DTE 21–35.

I'm curious to measure it on a longer period of time, but 6.1% vs just buy and hold SPY, that would yield 4% doesn't look impressive especially if you factor in taxes, that I have to pay on short term gains.

Here is a breakdown per ticker:

Wondering what people thoughts are on this, especially those who have been doing it for much longer than me.
