Weekly Trade Summary: June 11 - June 17

Total defined risk for these trades is at 23.6% of the account net liquidation value.

27 trades have been closed this year...15 wins and 12 losses. Return on the account for the year is at 2.6%...not happy with that number!  Total win rate is at 56%.  The win rate on the core trades is at 65% and at the very low end of the expected range. Not happy with the core trade win rate either!  Of the 4 open trades, 3 currently have a positive P&L.

Broken wing butterflies are really struggling lately and not performing as well as last year. I will be digging into the iron condor backtest results a bit more over the next few weeks to see how well they have performed in 2017.

Next week I will adjust the upside long puts on the two July expiration trades, and will likely add another BWB.
