When to roll⏸ WAIT
Wait until 23 Oct 2027
449 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 costs about $120 a day in time decay (net theta of the three legs).
The new expiry is still wide (worst leg spread 14% of mid, open interest as low as 1408): work the order at mid, never natural.
The best roll lowers the CC-SS from $11 to $10: covered calls can be written $1 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 FOR RECOVERY
Engine stalled: extending is a bet on recovery
Since 2026-08-20 it has banked $1,400, $600/mo with the open call chain marked to today's buyback; the last 90 days $600/mo against a $2,500/mo floor and a $5,000/mo design.
Safe calls (at or above the $11 CC-SS) only pay a normal premium from about $9 (+24% from here).
FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $9,043/mo at whole book's realized keep of 70% (658 closed calls).
The record does not show the FIGHT engine running ($600/mo earned vs $9,043/mo modelled): only safe-call income is credited.
Extending to Jan 19 '29 buys 12 months. Expected income to expiry with FIGHT: $145,786 if you keep, $289,957 after the roll; safe calls alone: $92,787 vs $210,580. Odds safe calls restart: 49% vs 46%.
At the record's pace the extra 12 months are worth about $7,184.
Even after the roll the odds are only 46%: the extension is a bet on recovery, with little income in the meantime.
Earnings 2026-11-04 (6 days): sell no new income into it.

How this was built
6 candidates on the real strikes of Dec 15 '28, Jan 19 '29; 2 keep the fortress shape, at least 95% of the upside at $10 and $16, and add no more than 10% max loss over the larger of keep and the same-strike roll.
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 (97%). 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 2026-10-29 23:56. The open covered call is untouched. Read-only: no order is placed or staged. leaps_extend v1.2.
