PICKS · the crowned doors, full detail (each also lives inside its date below)

The conviction trade: roll the $170.00C up-and-out so a breakout is not capped at the current strike. Doors span the listed strikes from about a quarter of the expected move to each expiry above the cap you hold (never more than ~8%, never less than the next listed strike) up to the further of ~25% or a one-sigma rally — every strike on normal grids, evenly sampled (endpoints kept) past 18 per expiry on very fine grids — so the point where free room ENDS is visible rather than guessed. On this high-IV name the band top is VOLATILITY-SCALED: it runs to the strike a one-sigma rally reaches by each expiry (the 1σ marker), because ~25% is only a fraction of a sigma at this IV. NET is after $15.00 commission (10 ct × 2 legs); a debit is the price of the room, and the income run rate goes ~dark while parked. Committing 114d of cap sacrifices roughly $9,866/mo of re-sell income while parked (stabilised run rate); that is the premium you are paying for a breakeven cap, on top of any debit below. Every door past 36d spans the 2026-10-29 print, and longer tenors may span MORE prints than the detector tracks (it only knows the next one). Not a recommendation — the at-trip doctrine still says a CHALLENGED call rolls best at the trip; this table prices acting on a directional view BEFORE the challenge. Survival figures beyond ~3 weeks are outside the calibration ledger's graded range; treat them as model estimates.
