#FuzzyLEAPs I’m looking to even it all out this week, with the end goal of short strikes expiring each day and finally all ATM or OTM. It’s happening faster than expected; all OTM now, with farthest expiration now on Wednesday. Also rolled a strike DOWN while market shot up above it, and rolled another strike much higher but still decently OTM. I plan to be on top of rolling short strikes lower for the next dip or correction and not get stuck ITM.

#fuzzyleaps #quarterlyreview
Time for my quarterly review! Going forward, I plan to do these at the end of every quarter. These results are YTD, as of today. From now on, I will also track quarterly results.
Methodology:
Because we all know that the market makers always take their cut, I will assume that the cost to buy back any outstanding sold puts will be at the mid plus 1%, and the amount received to sell any LEAPs will be at the mid minus 1%. Also, I will take a snapshot of prices during the last trading day of the quarter to use as the basis of my calculations. With all of that in mind, here we are for Q3 2026:
Results:
(as of 10:00 AM on 9/30/2026)
Total Premium Received $172,699.00
Cost to close outstanding short puts $994.85
Current LEAPs Value $187,451.55
Current LEAPs Cost $260,571.00
Net Result $99,579.55
Net Result % (@ $300k dedicated) 33.19%
Annualized % (simple, non-compounded) 44.26%

#FuzzyLEAPs Another day with bond yields reaching new heights. Every time this happened before was followed by a financial crisis. So I rolled down two strikes. I have other positions at higher strikes still not expiring for a week or two. This strategy continues to be a struggle for XSP, without meaningful profit for weeks again. The only solution may have to be just to take a hit to roll lower as rolling down and out for profit gets you stuck if the market fails to make new highs.

#FuzzyLEAPs I threw in the towel on my DITM puts. I had the Oct 16th 783 puts, which were just too far out in time and too DITM to roll down. So I rolled back in time and down so I can resume daily trading and also be poised to roll lower if necessary.

#FuzzyLEAPs i think today set a record for biggest LOSSES in a roll. I actually had one decent pullback for profit but was holding out for more when it bounced to never return. The saving grace is we had a good up day. This strategy is crashing down around me and I’m only holding on with hopes that I can better manage roll-downs on future drops. I think after today I’m going to start rolling out in the future rather than continuing to try swing-rolls; they worked great during June’s downside warning, but have flopped dramatically for the past month.
