Your P&L graph for a long strangle often looks better than your actual intraday trade because it’s theoretical. For monthly options, constant theta decay erodes premium quickly, which a static graph might not fully capture in real-time. Also, the graph might assume ideal mid-prices, while your actual fills happen at the bid-ask spread, and it may not account for dynamic changes in implied volatility after entry.
