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 $61 a day in time decay (net theta of the three legs).
  • The new expiry is still wide (worst leg spread 30% of mid, open interest as low as 6): work the order at mid, never natural.
  • The best roll lowers the CC-SS from $381 to $307: 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 $381 CC-SS) only pay a normal premium from about $328 (+133% from here).
  • FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $8,282/mo at COIN's realized keep of 67% (36 closed calls).
  • The record shows it fights: $7,994/mo earned against a modelled $8,282/mo, so FIGHT income counts toward the time.
  • Extending to Jan 19 '29 buys 13 months. Expected income to expiry with FIGHT: $108,634 if you keep, $246,713 after the roll; safe calls alone: $14,204 vs $105,187. Odds safe calls restart: 10% vs 25%.
  • At the record's pace the extra 13 months are worth about $104,920.

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.
