Rolling (IRA): SPY May 21st 360 Short Put to the May 21st 381
... for a 1.41 credit.
Notes: With 45 days to go and more than half the extrinsic in the 360 shortie pissed out, rolling up to the 381 short put to lock in the realized gain. Naturally, this isn't ideal here, with 30-day having crushed into around 17.8% with the preference being to wait for weakness and higher volatility, but I'm opting to stay mechanical here, since this was intended as an "all weather" strategy (i.e., sometimes IV will be higher; sometimes it will be lower; you just take what the market gives you).
Total credits collected of 9.49.
