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.
Holding as is earns about $9 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• NO ROLL
Nothing to roll to: no admissible later expiry
Since 2026-04-13 it has banked $3,750, $276/mo with the open call chain marked to today's buyback; the last 90 days $172/mo against a $498/mo floor and a $996/mo design.
Spot is above $15, where a ~0.30-delta call already clears the CC-SS: safe calls pay now.
FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $1,061/mo at HIMS's realized keep of 61% (8 closed calls).
No roll to judge the time on: no later LEAPS expiry, or no roll keeps the fortress's shape and upside.
Coverage Insights: hold to expiry instead of buying back at a loss (your record: holding did better 39 of 54 times).
Earnings 2026-11-09 (10 days): sell no new income into it.

How this was built
0 rolls on the real strikes of 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 ($17.46), 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 1.24), 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 (91%). 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 21:34. The open covered call is untouched. Read-only: no order is placed or staged. leaps_extend v1.2.
