I currently have 4 open trades, with expirations in Feb (1) and Mar (3). Total defined risk for these trades is at 84% of the account net liquidation value. Removing hedges last week increased the risk across all trades.

All four trades are currently underwater with negative P&L. All of the P&L% numbers in the table below are based on the maximum risk associated with each trade.

If I were to close all four trades at this time, my account would be down 5.1% for the year ... not terrible considering the market action during the first part of February.

3 trades have been closed this year, with 3 wins and 0 losses. Realized return on the account/portfolio for the year is at 1.07%.  Total win rate is at 100% including hedges. The win rate on the core trades is also at 100%. These numbers will very likely change as I close out my open trades.

I will make adjustments to my existing trades as follows:

• Highly Likely: N/A
• Likely: N/A
• Possible: #4, #5, #6, #7
• Unlikely: N/A
