As of today, Monday, April 3, 2017, the return from my trading performance since January 1 stands at +27.5 accumulated profit points vs the benchmark SPY’s performance of +12.2 points over the same period.

My Risk-On mode, which extends the holding period for trades until the day’s close, was up +.39 points.
