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 $36 a day in time decay (net theta of the three legs).

Is the time worth buying✓ EXTEND

It fights for its income: the extra time pays for the roll

Since 2026-06-04 it has banked $6,967, $1,313/mo with the open call chain marked to today's buyback; the last 90 days $999/mo against a $800/mo floor and a $1,600/mo design.
Safe calls (at or above the $396 CC-SS) only pay a normal premium from about $376 (+35% from here).
FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $1,686/mo at GOOG's realized keep of 78% (49 closed calls).
The record shows it fights: $1,313/mo earned against a modelled $1,686/mo, so FIGHT income counts toward the time.
Extending to Jan 19 '29 buys 19 months. Expected income to expiry with FIGHT: $11,725 if you keep, $47,413 after the roll; safe calls alone: $621 vs $14,116. Odds safe calls restart: 9% vs 41%.
At the record's pace the extra 19 months are worth about $25,146.

legs at their worst, no call income

No roll and no close: calls written every cycle to Jun 17 '27 (FIGHT included). Spot at expiry is spread lognormal at realized vol, zero drift. Holding keeps $6,564 of margin a close would free, counted dollar for dollar: holding beats closing by $770.

Hold

No roll pays for itself: hold and keep writing calls

No roll's actual income ($1,313 a month, life to date (148 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: 100% (exercised now).
Close everything now: -$14,375. Wait for assignment: -$15,642 (the put spread -$22,542, plus the 340C you keep, worth $6,900). About the same, and waiting keeps the call income.
On assignment: sell the shares and sell the hedge put (never exercise it): $22,542 more ($45 a share). Basis 96.08; the 340C alone has CC-SS $418.96 (now $396.32), break-even $436, margin about zero.
Calls afterwards (Dec 04 '26, 35d): a 340C (at or above the call) about $363 a cycle; a 300C (~0.30 delta) about $2,238 a cycle, but a rally can cost up to $20,000 a cycle. The 340C loses about $838 a month to time.
Close the 340C at assignment, unless you want the upside bet.

How this was built

335 rolls on the real strikes of Jan 21 '28, Dec 15 '28, 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 ($398.00), 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.
