Rolling (IRA): SPY May 21st 381 Short Put to June 18th 389
... for a 2.75 credit.
Notes: Part of a longer-dated setup I started at the beginning of the year. With the 381 at >50% (See Post Below), rolling* out to June for a realized gain and a credit to the strike paying at least 1% of the strike price (i.e., the 389 is paying 4.05 at the moment). This naturally could be done in a more favorable volatility environment or on greater weakness, but looking at staying mechanical with this setup and bringing in credit versus waiting around for ideal volatility/weakness conditions.
Total credits collected of 9.49 + 2.75 = 12.24.
* -- Rolling involves buying back the option contract you sold and selling a new one either in the same expiry or a different one. (It's the inverse if you want to roll a long). You can do a roll as a two-step process (i.e., buy back the short put you previously sold and then sell a new one), but I generally opt for just doing it in one step.
