When to roll✕ ROLL NOW
Roll now
  • The short put has almost no time value left ($0 a share): early assignment can come any day, and it would break the structure.
  • Holding as is costs about $82 a day in time decay (net theta of the three legs).
  • The new expiry is still wide (worst leg spread 16% of mid, open interest as low as 49): work the order at mid, never natural.
  • The best roll lowers the CC-SS from $394 to $319: covered calls can be written $75 closer to spot.
Is the time worth buying✓ EXTEND
It fights for its income: the extra time pays for the roll
  • Last 90 days earned $7,994/mo against a $3,875/mo floor and a $7,750/mo design (EARNING ITS KEEP).
  • Safe calls (at or above the $394 CC-SS) only pay a normal premium from about $346 (+126% from here).
  • FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $8,161/mo at COIN's realized keep of 67% (36 closed calls).
  • The record shows it fights: $7,994/mo earned against a modelled $8,161/mo, so FIGHT income counts toward the time.
  • Extending to Dec 15 '28 buys 12 months. Expected income to expiry with FIGHT: $106,234 if you keep, $226,965 after the roll; safe calls alone: $11,231 vs $83,339. Odds safe calls restart: 9% vs 25%.
  • At the record's pace the extra 12 months are worth about $95,717.
  • Earnings 2026-10-30 (1 days): sell no new income into it.

No roll and no close: calls written every cycle to Dec 17 '27 (FIGHT included). Spot at expiry is spread lognormal at realized vol, zero drift. Holding keeps $12,815 of margin a close would free, counted dollar for dollar: holding beats closing by $84,050.

Cash received is green, paid is red. Margin freed is green, added is red. Extra income is the model's expected income the extra time adds, FIGHT calls included at the realized keep; extra safe income counts calls at or above the CC-SS only.

BEST: cash + margin

Most cash received net of margin added (the 2026-10-22 rule): the recommended roll.
