January Account Activity

January was a more active month than I had initially planned.  I made a total of 21 option trades. I successfully rolled my four losing positions to a future expiration for a credit.

I decided to discontinue listing my weekly option trades in a separate blog post.  I initially chose that method of reporting to track my progress and determine whether or not it would be a profitable trading style. The information is included in my monthly trading summary.

I will be traveling to Australia and New Zealand on February 7. I will check my stocks while on vacation, but I will not log into my account.  I will resume trading again when I return in March.

Listed below is my account activity for the month of January
