Weekly Trade Summary: Apr 2 - Apr 8

Last week I closed one trade and opened two trades (Core BWB, Deep OOTM BWB).  Travel last week made trading particularly tricky, especially with my flight cancellations and delays on Delta Airlines Wednesday and Thursday.

Total defined risk for these trades is currently at 44.7% of the account net liquidation value. This risk is broken down into the following groups:

• 17.1% of net liq - DOTM BWB - hedges
• 27.6% of net liq - core BWB (all but two trades at the target size of 5 contracts)

16 trades have been closed this year...10 wins and 6 losses. Return on the account for the year is at 2.2%.  Total win rate is at 63%.  The win rate on the core trades is at 67% and still on the low side of the expected range. Of the 8 open trades, 5 are core and 3 of the core are currently up money.
