During the weekly window, active open positions increased from 11 to 12 as 3 positions were closed and 4 new positions were opened. Open defined risk capital expanded by $93,650.00, rising from $58,987.50 to $152,637.50 strictly due to the deployment of an /ESH7 1-1-1 Options Trade in the IRA fund. Undefined risk strangles increased by 1 net structure to 9 total active positions. Total ending defined risk currently stands at 126.92% of combined base capital.

Closing undefined-risk structures near 50% premium capture locks in realized gain without experiencing drawn-out exposure, allowing margin capital to be recycled into new longer-dated structures that benefit from accelerated early decay dynamics.
