When to roll⏸ WAIT
Wait until 23 Oct 2027
448 days left. Nothing forces a roll before 23 Oct 2027 (90 days before expiry): waiting keeps today's structure and costs nothing extra in spread.
Short put deep in the money with $1 of time value (58% of a year's carry on the strike): assignment risk is real; check it weekly.
Holding as is costs about $88 a day in time decay (net theta of the three legs).
Re-run then, or sooner after a 15%+ drop (a lower price makes extending cheaper and more urgent).
Is the time worth buying✓ EXTEND
It fights for its income: the extra time pays for the roll
Since 2025-08-05 it has banked $18,575, $920/mo with the open call chain marked to today's buyback; the last 90 days $4,300/mo against a $4,627/mo floor and a $9,254/mo design.
Safe calls (at or above the $35 CC-SS) only pay a normal premium from about $29 (+69% from here).
FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $6,472/mo at GLXY's realized keep of 72% (13 closed calls).
The record shows it fights: $4,300/mo earned against a modelled $6,472/mo, so FIGHT income counts toward the time.
Extending to Jan 19 '29 buys 12 months. Expected income to expiry with FIGHT: $98,973 if you keep, $200,053 after the roll; safe calls alone: $41,701 vs $110,023. Odds safe calls restart: 29% vs 31%.
At the record's pace the extra 12 months are worth about $51,487.

legs at their worst, no call income
No roll and no close: calls written every cycle to Jan 21 '28 (FIGHT included). Spot at expiry is spread lognormal at realized vol, zero drift. Holding keeps $36,026 of margin a close would free, counted dollar for dollar: holding beats closing by $34,903.
Hold
No roll pays for itself: hold and keep writing calls
No roll's actual income ($920 a month, life to date (451 days)) covers 80% of the max loss it adds and of the cash it costs.
If you're assigned
Odds of early assignment within 12 months: 82% The holder exercises once the stock is at or below $13 in 6 months..
Close everything now: -$151,688. Wait for assignment: -$140,750 (the put spread -$181,250, plus the 37.5C you keep, worth $40,500). About the same, and waiting keeps the call income.
On assignment: sell the shares and sell the hedge put (never exercise it): $181,250 more ($14 a share). Basis 16.71; the 37.5C alone has CC-SS $41.16 (now $35.29), break-even $54, margin about zero.
Calls afterwards (Dec 04 '26, 35d): a 22C (~0.30 delta) about $11,250 a cycle, but a rally can cost up to $193,750 a cycle. The 37.5C loses about $2,662 a month to time.
Close the 37.5C at assignment, unless you want the upside bet.

How this was built
107 rolls on the real strikes of Jan 19 '29; 0 pass the rules: the new short put keeps real time value, the break-even at expiry stays within 3% of today's ($39.71), max loss within 10% over the entry max loss, CC-SS within 5% (no rule in Fight mode), margin added under 15% of the account's spare room. Early assignment is judged as the put's holder would: an American put priced at its market mid, exercised where that beats holding; at most 50% odds within 12 months.
FULL rolls all three legs (a held hedge). LEAPS ONLY keeps today's hedge for Repair's ledger, charged the estimated cost of carrying it to the new expiry. The short call never rolls.
Margin: the What-if model (IBKR-calibrated scan, calib 1.21), this underlying only. IBKR's what-if on the ticket is the final word.
Income model: one 35-day call per cycle while the LEAPS cover it; spot lognormal at realized vol = call IV x (1 - 0.15); premium Black-Scholes at the call IV (92%). SAFE writes at max(CC-SS, the ~0.30-delta strike); CC-SS held at today's value (no credit for banked income, so conservative). Track record mirrored from Coverage Insights.
Positions + margin model from Repair 2026-10-30 03:50. The open covered call is untouched. Read-only: no order is placed or staged. leaps_extend v1.2.
