Total defined risk for these trades had dropped to 28.5% of the account net liquidation value.

28 trades have been closed this year...16 wins and 12 losses. Return on the account for the year is at 2.9%...not happy with that number!  Total win rate is at 57%. The win rate on the core trades is at 67% and creeping up. Not happy with the core trade win rate. Of the 5 open trades, 4 currently have a positive P&L.

Broken wing butterflies are really struggling lately and not performing as well as last year. I am digging into the iron condor backtest results a bit more right now to see how well they have performed in 2017.

I will be out of the country over the next two weeks, and don't anticipate making any trades or adjustments...but we'll see!
