Weekly Trade Summary: August 27 - September 2

Continuing to be super busy with work and family activities as summer comes to a close. Spent the long Labor Day weekend in the mountains at an Oktoberfest Celebration...good fun that caused a delay in getting this summary out.

I expired one trade for a tiny loss, closed another trade for a small gain, adjusted one trade, and entered two more trades. Details of this week's trading below:

Total defined risk for these trades 45.2% of the account net liquidation value.

33 trades have been closed this year...17 wins and 16 losses. Return on the account for the year is at 2.8%.  Total win rate is at 52%. The win rate on the core trades is at 59%. Not happy with the win rates, but at least the losses have been small.
