I currently have 9 open trades, with expirations in Oct (4) and Nov (5):

Total defined risk for these trades 70.9% of the account net liquidation value.

35 trades have been closed this year...19 wins and 16 losses. Return on the account for the year is at 2.9%.  Total win rate is at 54%. The win rate on the core trades is at 61%. Not happy with the win rates, but at least the losses have been small.

Of the 9 open trades, 8 currently have a positive P&L. The 1 trade that has a negative P&L was entered this week (1 trade on Sep-21). This week's trade is down -0.32% on margin...this is typical in the first week or so of the trade.

I will likely enter one new trade next week and will make adjustments as follows:

• Highly likely: #40, #41
• Likely: #39, #42
• Possible: #43
• Unlikely: #36, #37, #38, #44
