I have been making good returns from options trading since the unfortunate blow up in Jan. I restarted the account with US$10k capital and the track record was as such by the end of Sep 14:

• No of trades = 29
• No of wins = 20
• No of losses = 9
• Win Ratio = 69%
• Loss Ratio = 31%
• Total Amount Win = $8,820.32
• Total Amount Loss = $6,332.43
• Av. Amount Win = $441.02 
• Av. Amount Loss = $703.60 
• Expectancy = $85.79 (or +0.12R)

It is very important to track your trading records in this way so that you know if the strategy has a positive expectancy. Traders have losses and winners, and summing them up over the long run should give you higher winnings. As you can see the expectancy is positive in this case, it means I would make $85.79 for each ......
