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 $9 of time value (65% of a year's carry on the strike): assignment risk is real; check it weekly.
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 9% of mid, open interest as low as 40): work the order at mid, never natural.
The best roll lowers the CC-SS from $352 to $348: covered calls can be written $5 closer to spot.
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 2026-04-23 it has banked $25,468, $3,790/mo with the open call chain marked to today's buyback; the last 90 days $2,997/mo against a $2,700/mo floor and a $5,400/mo design.
Safe calls (at or above the $352 CC-SS) only pay a normal premium from about $334 (+20% from here).
FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $5,059/mo at GOOG's realized keep of 78% (49 closed calls).
The record shows it fights: $3,790/mo earned against a modelled $5,059/mo, so FIGHT income counts toward the time.
Extending to Jan 19 '29 buys 12 months. Expected income to expiry with FIGHT: $73,668 if you keep, $143,752 after the roll; safe calls alone: $21,144 vs $52,498. Odds safe calls restart: 42% vs 52%.
At the record's pace the extra 12 months are worth about $45,385.

If you're assigned
Odds of early assignment within 12 months: 69% The holder exercises once the stock is at or below $236 in 6 months..
Close everything now: +$27,337. Wait for assignment: +$40,711 (the put spread -$22,626, plus the 300C you keep, worth $63,337). About the same, and waiting keeps the call income.
On assignment: sell the shares and sell the hedge put (never exercise it): $22,626 more ($15 a share). Basis 88.08; the 300C alone has CC-SS $350.93 (now $352.17), break-even $388, margin about zero.
Calls afterwards (Dec 04 '26, 35d): a 300C (at or above the call) about $6,712 a cycle; a 300C (~0.30 delta) about $6,712 a cycle, but a rally can cost up to $0 a cycle. The 300C loses about $1,822 a month to time.
Ride the 300C: safe calls out-earn its decay.

How this was built
852 rolls on the real strikes of Dec 15 '28, Jan 19 '29; 37 pass the rules: the new short put keeps real time value, the break-even at expiry stays within 3% of today's ($373.00), 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 1.27), 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 (30%). 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.
