Total defined risk for these trades is currently at 64.0% of the account net liquidation value. This risk is broken down into the following groups:

• 15.8% of net liq - DOTM BWB
• 48.2% of net liq - core BWB at 75% of target size

Nine trades have been closed this year...eight wins and one loss. Return on the account for the year is at 2.8%.  I will likely open a trade on the May 12 expiration next week, and will evaluate possible trades on futures as well.
