I currently have 7 open trades, with expirations in Oct (1), Nov (5), and Dec (1):

Total defined risk for these trades 56.7% of the account net liquidation value.

38 trades have been closed this year...22 wins and 16 losses. Return on the account for the year is at 3.9%.  Total win rate is at 58%. The win rate on the core trades is at 65%. Not happy with the win rate, but at least it is improving and the losses have been small.

Of the 7 open trades, 5 currently have a positive P&L. The trades with negative P&L were entered during the last two weeks:

• trade #44 - Nov 24 expiration (-0.03%)
• trade #45 - Dec 15 expiration (-0.39%)

I will likely enter one new trade next week (01-Dec or 08-Dec expiration) and will make adjustments as follows:

• Highly likely: N/A
• Likely: #44
• Possible: #43, #45
• Unlikely: #39, #40, #41, #42
