Roll out is an options seller's emergency-skill. When should you roll a position? When should you cut?
In May I traded AAPL options for the first time: two Sell Put trades combined for +$1,989.
NVDA Sell Put $223 lost $6,060 — the biggest single-trade loss of my options career.
One Sell Put lost only $3. Opened at $11.45, closed at $11.46. A $0.01/share difference.
GOOG $295 + NVDA $175: open, do nothing, $4,500 auto-deposits 45 days later.
NVDA Sell Put $170 made $990, $165 made $1,359.
My very first options trade: GOOG Sell Call $320, assigned after 3 days, net $1,578.
Early in June I had to roll out two deeply ITM Sell Put positions on NVDA and GOOG.
There were bright spots in May's chaos.
