SEP/09 Trades

September was much better than August, I had a profitable month even with mistakes made on the RUT Iron Butterfly and IBM calendar positions. I believe that this was a positive month in many ways, and concentrating on fewer positions allowed me to keep a better focus and perform better.

I plan on doing the same allocation for October, carrying over the lessons learned from September allows me to continue to improve.
