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 $38 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 2026-06-18 it has banked $8,905, $1,827/mo with the open call chain marked to today's buyback; the last 90 days $1,602/mo against a $725/mo floor and a $1,450/mo design.
Safe calls (at or above the $188 CC-SS) only pay a normal premium from about $172 (+23% from here).
FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $1,419/mo at SPCX's realized keep of 84% (17 closed calls).
The record shows it fights: $1,827/mo earned against a modelled $1,419/mo, so FIGHT income counts toward the time.
Extending to Jan 19 '29 buys 22 months. Expected income to expiry with FIGHT: $6,695 if you keep, $39,922 after the roll; safe calls alone: $1,791 vs $16,591. Odds safe calls restart: 31% vs 49%.
At the record's pace the extra 22 months are worth about $40,383.

No roll and no close: calls written every cycle to Mar 19 '27 (FIGHT included). Spot at expiry is spread lognormal at realized vol, zero drift. Holding keeps $11,466 of margin a close would free, counted dollar for dollar: holding trails closing by $9,509.

If you're assigned
Odds of early assignment within 12 months: 100% (exercised now).
Close everything now: -$12,600. Wait for assignment: -$13,088 (the put spread -$21,188, plus the 150C you keep, worth $8,100). About the same, and waiting keeps the call income.
On assignment: sell the shares and sell the hedge put (never exercise it): $21,188 more ($42 a share). Basis 69.38; the 150C alone has CC-SS $213.76 (now $188.36), break-even $219, margin about zero.
Calls afterwards (Dec 04 '26, 35d): a 150C (at or above the call) about $3,212 a cycle; a 160C (~0.30 delta) about $1,662 a cycle, but a rally can cost up to $0 a cycle. The 150C loses about $891 a month to time.
Ride the 150C: safe calls out-earn its decay.

How this was built
214 rolls on the real strikes of Jun 16 '28, Dec 15 '28, Jan 19 '29; 208 pass the rules: the new short put keeps real time value, the break-even at expiry stays within 3% of today's ($186.00), 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 (49%). 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.
