***********************************************************************
January 2017 Stats and activity. Great month overall





*************************************************
January 2017 trades
*************************************************
The charts below are my trades for the entire month.  The tick Gain/Loss numbers and net dollar amounts
 have been adjusted to show just 1 contract for each trade. The charts usually combine what I saw as entry rationals 
and the results of that trade. Some postings may include charts of what happened after that trade was  closed out .
I do not include "practice" or "TEST" trades when calculating my statistics and I may not post charts of every break-even trade I take...
Break-even trades are losses due to their commission and are included  as such in my end-of-month statistic summaries. 

A summary of each day's trading results are included above the 1st chart:
 Date/ day ... Winning / Losing / Break-even  ... tick Gain/Loss and Net Dollar amount  (after commissions)

A profitable day with more losing trades than winning trades...a good example
