Why We Waited to Roll

We normally roll puts at 21 days to expiration. On Friday, markets were selling off hard and we made the decision NOT to roll. Rolling puts on a down day means worse fills, tighter strikes, and more stress.

We waited for an up day. This morning gave us that opportunity. Markets opened higher, premiums compressed, and we used the bounce to roll 11 puts further out in time – and where possible, down to safer strikes. We also closed 3 positions outright and took a gold hedge off for a small profit.

No new risk added. Just better positioning.
