6/23
The trades I placed last month, which were all closed by today did terribly.

Summary of the trades

IBM 100/105 double calendar (+28%)
USO 34Puts shorted (assigned)

Looking at the results there are more wins than losses, however the percentage of the losses are nearly twice the gains. This is just bad risk management. I cannot allow my losses to be nearly twice my gains. So far the net profit for the month is negative due mostly the huge loss from the RUT 450P calendar.

I need do a better job on controlling my losses. I should put a tight noose on losses and not let it get out of control.
