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 costs about $8 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 FOR RECOVERY

Engine stalled: extending is a bet on recovery

Since 2026-01-14 it has banked $779, $63/mo with the open call chain marked to today's buyback; the last 90 days $201/mo against a $496/mo floor and a $992/mo design.
Safe calls (at or above the $17 CC-SS) only pay a normal premium from about $15 (+10% from here).
FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $1,006/mo at whole book's realized keep of 71% (664 closed calls).
The record does not show the FIGHT engine running ($201/mo earned vs $1,006/mo modelled): only safe-call income is credited.
Extending to Jan 19 '29 buys 12 months. Expected income to expiry with FIGHT: $16,205 if you keep, $31,490 after the roll; safe calls alone: $11,561 vs $23,078. Odds safe calls restart: 65% vs 61%.
At the record's pace the extra 12 months are worth about $2,411.
Even after the roll the odds are only 61%: the extension is a bet on recovery, with little income in the meantime.
Earnings 2026-12-02 (34 days): sell no new income into it.

legs at their worst, no call income

No roll and no close: calls written every cycle to Jan 21 '28 (safe calls only). Spot at expiry is spread lognormal at realized vol, zero drift. Holding keeps $8,434 of margin a close would free, counted dollar for dollar: holding trails closing by $608.

Hold

No roll pays for itself: hold and keep writing calls

No roll's actual income ($63 a month, life to date (289 days)) covers 80% of the max loss it adds and of the cash it costs.

How this was built

4 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 ($18.50), 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 (63%). 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.
