Total defined risk for these trades is 71.3% 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 my 8 open trades, 7 currently have positive P&L. The trade entered last week has a small negative P&L at this time...which is typical early in the trade.

Next week I will be looking for new trades in the weekly January expirations (if available). I will make adjustments in my existing trades as follows:

• Highly likely: N/A
• Likely: #45, #46
• Possible: #44
• Unlikely: #39, #40, #41, #42, #43
