Rolling (IRA): SPY August 20th 381 to September 30th 378
... for a 2.04 credit.
Comments: Mechanically rolling at 50% max. Here, I'm rolling out to the quarterly expiry strike that pays at least 1% of the strike price in credit (the September monthly is getting kind of crowded), which happens to be a lower strike. Credits collected so far: 16.31 (See Post Below) + 2.04 = 18.35 relative to a current price for the September 30th 378 of 3.77, so I've realized gains of 18.35 - 3.77 = 14.58 ($1458).
