The one rule, applied to live marks: roll when remaining time value ≤ max($0.04, 25% of collected) or spot at/past breakeven (strike + premium). Statuses refresh on every run; challenges happen during US RTH (your night), so a TRIPPED row here means act at the open or set the order now.

🔵 ROLL UP-AND-OUT · the roll pays you $2.06/sh is stuck intrinsic (never decays, tracks GLD 1:1); only $0.00 is live theta (~$0). Waiting harvests the extrinsic but not the cap. Rolling $377→$380 banks +$6.08/sh (+$6,075) and sells fatter forward theta (still $76 below BE SS $456, a partial recovery), you relocate the decay to a higher cap, not forfeit it. ▸ Gate on price: hold while GLD is not making new highs; fire the roll before it breaks $380, above which this credit door closes. 🚪 ESCAPE PATHS (live chain), buy back the 10x $377C at ~$2.65 ($2,650), then: fills assumed a quarter-spread inside bid/ask CREDIT ROLLS (shortest DTE first)
