I currently have 4 open trades, with expirations in Dec (3) and Jan (1):

Total defined risk for these trades is at 42% of the account net liquidation value.

44 trades have been closed this year, with 28 wins and 16 losses. Return on the account/portfolio for the year is at 5.6%.  Total win rate is at 64% including hedges. The win rate on the core trades is at 70%, and getting closer to the historical win rate. Still not happy with the core trade win rate, but at least it is improving and the losses have been small.

Of the 4 open trades, 3 currently have a positive P&L. The trade with negative P&L was entered today:

Next week I will be looking for new trades in the weekly January expirations (if available). I will make adjustments in my existing trades as follows:

• Highly Likely: N/A
• Likely: #46
• Possible: #47, #48
• Unlikely: #45
