Weekly Trade Summary: November 12 - November 18

I left for China right before this week ended, and was in the air for the close on November 18th...so a bit late with two weeks of trade summaries.

This week I entered 1 new trade on the Jan-31 expiration and added debit spreads to hedge the account. The hedges were added on the down day on the 15th. Details of this week's trading below:

Total defined risk for these trades is at 54% of the account net liquidation value.

44 trades have been closed this year, with 28 wins and 16 losses. Return on the account/portfolio for the year is at 5.6%.  Total win rate is at 64% including hedges. The win rate on the core trades is at 70%, and getting closer to the historical win rate. Still not happy with the core trade win rate, but at least it is improving and the losses have been small.

I will be in China next week and all of these trades will be on auto pilot. I won't have my laptop with me, so the hedges and butterflies will hopefully work out okay.
