XSP rolls 7/30/26
#FuzzyLEAPs Well, it is becoming my curse that when we have sharp down moves, I miss them, and when I try to move strikes down I get stuck in a sharp up move. In a Downside Warning it’s much easier to catch down moves but at this time it’s way more difficult. My accounts have not gone up meaningfully in months. I don’t know if this strategy is tenable in the long run for XSP, as it’s too difficult to roll strikes downward during a correction.
I caught the swings easily for one trade, but because I was holding out for lowering my strike on the second, I got screwed and moved to a higher strike instead. Skipped to Monday as I cannot trade tomorrow.

I had to roll the 7550 put a couple of extra days to get any premium. Unless we get some positive news over the weekend, I may pay a debit on Monday to roll the 7575 closer to ATM. Thinking maybe something like the delta 70 strike, to get it back into a more rollable situation, but still participate in the upside delta if we get a rally.

SPX Thoughts and Speculation
My long term look:
With the recent gradual roll downs how do things look?
Debit spreads currently:
01 7600-7425
15 7600-7450
03 7600-7475
10 7600-7505
01 7600-7600
Yes, account is down off all time highs a little now but at expiration these are all nicely profitable. Even in a worse case scenario backwardation there will always be somewhere to roll down for a credit even if it’s a year out.
I get questions about when I would consider closing the positions. My answer has always been my heir will close them when I’m gone but I’ve been thinking a little more about that.
Here’s the scenario where I might consider closing everything:
In a slow gradual dropping market allowing good rolling down of the daily sales there could possibly come a point where the LEAPS are worth exactly what I’ve paid for them (including roll ups). Then the market stabilizes without the V shaped recoveries we’ve been getting used to. At that point all the daily sales go worthless eventually. Then LEAPs are at breakeven and every bit of the premium I’ve received becomes 100 percent profit.
That is the situation where I would maybe consider closing everything.
Long story short, If the LEAPs are at breakeven and I’m out of all my daily sales I’d consider locking everything in and reloading on a bounce and VIX drop.
