Here’s your new blog post:


The Trade at a Glance

  • Account Size: $5K
  • Underlying Stock: SMR ($SMR)
  • Strategy: Rolling a Cash-Secured Put
  • Action: Roll 1 March 21 $25 Put to May 21 $24 Put
  • Credit Received: $30

Why This Trade Makes Sense

Extending the Trade for Additional Credit

By rolling this put option, we collect an extra $30 in premium, reducing our overall risk while staying in the trade.

Lowering the Strike Price

Moving from a $25 strike to $24 improves our potential assignment price, giving us a better entry if exercised.

Capital Efficiency

For a $5K account, rolling allows us to maintain flexibility while continuing to generate income.


Risk Management

  • Max Loss: If SMR declines significantly, we may still be assigned shares at $24, but our premium collection helps lower the break-even point.
  • Next Steps: Monitor SMR’s price action and adjust the trade if necessary.

Final Thoughts

Rolling cash-secured puts is a proactive strategy to manage risk and generate consistent premium income. This trade keeps capital engaged while maintaining a disciplined approach.
