The take

Rolled. Sold 3× $17.50s @ $3.55, bought 3× $12.50s @ $6.65, $930 debit. Now 5× Jan $12.50C, open $3,155. Spot ~18.20. You paid to stay in the name and dump the strike that was dying.

New stop is a close under $16 — not $17.50. Harvest through 20. Don’t add a sixth. Don’t roll the $17.50s back on.

Stop

Close below $16

You rolled off $17.50 because that strike was dying. The new stop cannot be $17.50. $16 is the swing. Lose it and five $12.50s are a hope pile.

Outlook

  • FY26 year-end / Q4 (est.)Late Oct · before expiry

Through 20. Cut $16. All five.
