I am at 2/3 LEAPs covered, so I’m going to skip trading today. I have one short put expiring tomorrow, so I’ll manage that one then.

Rolled $XSP Mar 12th 672 puts to Mar 13th 672 puts, 1.90 credit
Last night I forgot that the overnight market trading hours had extended, so an order I was planning on changing before bedtime was still entered, and filled at 8:15pm ET. The order was to sell for 17.00…
Sold XSP Mar 12th 692 puts for 20.06.
So I only rolled down one strike but I got around a 4.00 credit.
I’m probably going to be trying more of these swing-rolls because my strikes are just getting to be too ITM.

#fuzzyleaps #onlyspreads
I applied some of my credit received thus far to closing my short puts:
BTC today’s SPX Mar 9th 2026 6900 Put @ 222.50.
BTC tomorrow’s SPX Mar 10th 2026 6650 Put @ 40.20.
Remaining total credit received: 202.99.
Then, I decided to switch to spreads until this craziness calms down, so:
STO tomorrow’s SPX Mar 10th 2026 6570/6500 BUPS @ 10.00.
That leaves 2/3 LEAPs uncovered. I plan to sell another BUPS for tomorrow later today, and keep the other LEAP uncovered.
I picked the spread by selling the delta 20 put, and setting the spread width at 1% of the SPX (so around 70 with the SPX around 7000). I don’t plan to manage the spreads if they go ITM. I’ll just hold them through expiration and let the LEAPs cover the losses. If they go way OTM, I may close them for a small amount. I’ll see how I feel if/when that happens.
XSP rolls 3/6/26 – New Trick!
#FuzzyLEAPs Learned a new trick. Second day in a row I allowed deep ITM puts expire, then sold next day’s right after the closing bell, giving me much higher premium than was available had I rolled during market hours. ***Even at the highs of the day, this kind of credit on rolls was not possible.***
$XSP closed at 674.00
Mar 6th 693 puts, 19.00 debit for expiring. Sold Mar 9th 693 puts for 19.70
Mar 6th 695 put, 21.00 debit for expiring. Sold Mar 9th 695 put for 21.75
This is pretty good news for these deep ITM options. I wonder if it still will work if we get 40 or 50 bucks ITM.

#FuzzyLEAPs Another day opening with the 683 ATM, so rolling a day ahead. I got 1.40; if this was rolling from today would have gotten 1.75. I think that difference is small enough that I will keep this a day out as long as we are opening close to ATM.
Rolled $XSP Mar 6th 683 put to Mar 9th 683 put, 1.40 credit.

#FuzzyLEAPs Rolled DOWN one of my LEAP spreads and used credit to roll down one of my daily put strikes.
Sold to close 695/695/735 LEAP for 50.50. Opened two of them in January, average price 38.90.
Opened 685/685/725 LEAPs for 40.70 on Feb 24th. So the roll gave me a 9.80 credit.
Rolled $XSP Mar 3rd 695 put to Mar 5th (2 days) 683 put, 10.50 debit.
Now I need to figure out what to do with the other 695, and two 693’s with today’s expiry.

I want to reduce the cost of rental houses, so I am preparing to reset my LEAPs down to 7000 from 7600, and add the BECS like the normal FuzzyLEAPs setup.
As a start:
STC 1 SPX Dec 20th 2030 7600 Put @ 984 credit (debit to open 896.60). Gain on the LEAP 87.40.
I still have 3 7600 LEAP Puts, 1 uncovered.
I’ll buy the first 7000 strike rental house on a calmer day.

Also yesterday added a 685/685/725 Dec 2028 LEAP spread to each account, 40.70 debit. This was in preparation to actually roll DOWN one of my 695 spreads, and using that credit to roll down some 695 daily puts several strikes. However, since the rally continues I will keep the 685 as a hedge until I’m able to add another LEAP spread.

#fuzzyleaps
With SPX opening up at possible resistance, I am planning to buy today’s put back early and sell the next one later in the day if we get a pullback. Also thinking there might be a selloff later into the close due to NVDA earnings uncertainty. Anybody else see it that way?

SPX Update
It’s been a couple months since I’ve done one of these. With SPX sitting where it was in late October and being near my highest short strikes it seemed like a good time. I’ll post actual numbers from both of my accounts. As I mentioned in my last update I felt 2025 was about as bad as it can get fighting an up market. If 2026 continues like it has so far just wide range sideways chop and high ((ish)) VIX it’s going to be a banner year!!

The issue with my roll on Tuesday: I chose to roll 2 days ahead to get a bit of premium, which meant I didn’t need to roll on Wednesday. But Wednesday’s highs were the best roll time of the week so far for my deep ITM options. It would have been better for me to roll for just one day, even if only breakeven, so I could have rolled yesterday for higher premium than I got on Tuesday. Of course, this wouldn’t matter much if Wednesday had just been flat or down.

Core PCE is due out tomorrow (Feb 20th, 2026), along with manufacturing and services PMI. According to TOS, the expected move range is a little bit elevated. Just highlighting this for us #FuzzyLEAPs traders. I’m hoping to use it to roll down to a safer strike and still get my usual target premium. Depends on how today goes also, of course.
Perhaps the military buildup in the Middle East is also a factor?

#FuzzyLEAPs first month review:
Today marks the end of my first month of trading #FuzzyLEAPs with real money. Here’s where the strategy stands as of now:
Total cost of 4 LEAP puts: $358,640
Current value of LEAPs (approx., based on Mid): $400,000
Total credit received: $28,964
% Return so far: 8.07%
Annualized (simple, not compounded): 96.9%
(Returns % based on credit received only, and not counting gains on the LEAPs, as I consider those gains temporary.)
As we all know, this has been an almost perfect month to be running a strategy like this, since the SPX has been bouncing around enough to create decent premiums, but it hasn’t made a big move one way or the other.
Also, I have been extremely conservative by only selling against some of the LEAPs most of the time, as well as targeting the lowest strikes possible to bring in the desired premium. So, the total credit received could have been quite a bit more than it was.
I just thought that a review of how the strategy has done might benefit anyone else interested in it. Future returns will, of course, vary widely. I will keep doing a monthly update internally, but will post it here if anyone is interested. I would also love to see what results others are seeing if anyone wants to post that as well.

Feb 5th 2026 6825 45.30
For each roll, just picking whatever strike brings in about 15.00 ish and letting market movements decide where the ladder goes.
Three weeks now using real money, and I have brought in about 25% of the cost of another rental house. That is also during a period with a market holiday, and being super conservative the whole time (sometimes not even selling against all of the LEAPs, and always trying to stay OTM). That percentage would even be better using LEAPs closer to ATM, but I feel like setting them more ITM is another way to be conservative. YMMV of course.
At that rate, it should take about 12 weeks to pay for another rental house, market permitting. Assuming 15 credit per day targeted by the ladder strategy, it should only take about 47 trading days (about 9 1/2 weeks). We’ll see!
