New Position Summary

I've decided to post a summary of new positions rather than post each individual position as I have in the past. This not only saves me time but also reduces the number of blog posts. I'll also post a summary of closed positions at the end of each expiration. The only time I'll post individual positions is when a position has more than one trade so that you can see the trade history. For all single trade positions, only a summary will be posted.

The following positions were established today. All prices include IB commissions.
