Trade #3 was not behaving like most of these types of trades, so I closed it out to free up some margin.

I currently have 3 open trades, with expirations in Jan (1), Feb (1), and Mar (1). Total defined risk for these trades is at 53% of the account net liquidation value.

Of the 3 open trades, all 3 currently have positive P&L:

It's only the first week of the year, but starting off well! 2 trades have been closed this year, with 2 wins and 0 losses. Return on the account/portfolio for the year is at 0.5%.  Total win rate is at 100% including hedges. The win rate on the core trades is also at 100% ... and only 51 weeks to go :) ... I'm sure a few losses are in store for 2018!

Next week I will keep an eye out for new trades in the weekly March 29 expiration, and possibly the monthly March 16 expiration. I will make adjustments to my existing trades as follows:

• Highly Likely: N/A
• Likely: #5
• Possible: N/A
• Unlikely: #2, #4
