I had a number of adjustments last week, as well as a new trade (that ended up getting split across two days), and two expired trades. I was a bit late in adjusting because I was on vacation...I chose to not login and check my trades while on vacation and figured that worst case those trades would end up being small losses. Details of last week's trading below:

The details of the expired trades are shown below...both of these trades expired for small losses. Totally my fault since I failed to watch and adjust these trades (work and vacation!):

Total defined risk for these trades had dropped to 24.4% of the account net liquidation value.
30 trades have been closed this year...16 wins and 14 losses. Return on the account for the year is at 2.7%...not happy with that number! Total win rate is at 53%. The win rate on the core trades is at 62%. Not happy with the core trade win rate. Of the 5 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 am digging into the iron condor backtest results a bit more right now to see how well they have performed in 2017. My IC research has been on hold for about one month now due to vacation and work.
