A year that was characterized by an almost permanent uptrend and persistent record low volatility, which is the worst environment for Index options sellers.

The portfolio was invested around 68%, keeping a 32% cash reserve on average throughout the year. For extra details and personal reflections read Options Trading Reflections (2017 Edition).
