Rolled (IRA): IWM May 6th 185 Short Put to May 27th 183... for a 1.05 credit. Comments: 50% max roll to the <16 delta strike in the expiry nearest 45 days that is paying around 1% of the strike price in credit. Total credits collected of 5.77 (See Post below) plus the 1.05 here for a total of 6.82 versus the 1.86 or so the 183 was paying, so I've realized gains of 4.96 ($496) so far. The May 27th 16 delta is just barely paying 1%; otherwise, I probably would have done a "window dressing roll" from the 185 to the May 27th 175 for a small credit to milk the remaining extrinsic out of the option while reducing risk (since it's farther out-of-the-money) and buying power effect (since it would've been a lower strike).

Rolling (IRA): SPY May 20th 365 Short Put to June 17th 393... for a 3.08 credit. Comments: Cleaning up the remainder of my short put ladder a bit after closing out or rolling a bunch of stuff in April expiries. With the May 20th 365 only worth .83 (i.e., way greater than 50% max), rolling it out to June. Total credits collected of 23.91 (See Post Below) plus the 3.08 here for a total of 26.99 relative to the June 393 short put price of 3.94 or so, so I've locked in gains of about 23.05 ($2305) so far. I'll return to selling shorter duration stuff of around 45 days' duration if <16 delta strikes start paying again. Currently, the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit is at the 420, paying 4.24, and that's at the 19 delta.

Rolling (IRA): SPY April 14th 375 to May 20th 408... for a 3.75 credit. Comments: Unfortunately, shorter duration isn't paying what I would like to see in SPY, so rolling it out to the monthly <16 delta strike paying at least 1% of the strike price in credit. I've collected a total of 4.00 (See Post Below), plus the 3.75 here for a total of 7.75 with the 408 currently paying 3.91, so I've realized gains of around 3.84 ($384) so far. Still have April 14th, April 22nd, April 29th, May 20th, and June 17th rungs on to play with.

Rolling (IRA): SPY March 18th 412 Short Put to April 29th 375 ... for a 1.40 credit. Comments: This is a smidge shy of 50% max, but has only 7 days to go. Rolling it down and out to the April 29th short put paying at least 1% of the strike price in credit. Total credits collected of 19.07 (See Post Below) plus 1.40 or 20.47 relative to the 375's current price of 3.98, so I've realized gains of 16.49 ($1649) so far. Still sticking with the weeklies here so long as the 45 DTE <16 delta strike continues to pay >1% of the strike price in credit.

Rolling: NVDA April 14th 250 Short Call to 245... for a 1.65 credit. Comments: Adjust individual positions first if your portfolio net delta gets out of whack, then look at adding a portfolio-wide delta hedge thereafter if that hasn't done the trick (is the general rule). Doing that here with my NVDA position, on which I've collected a total of 45.95 on a now 20-wide inverted (April 14th 245C/265P) with a 219.05 downside break even. Net delta in the position remains long, so it could benefit from a bounce.
