Enter your current position and the proposed roll target. The calculator tells you whether to roll, close, or take assignment — and why.
The Golden Rule of Rolling
Only roll for a net credit. Rolling for a debit means you are paying to delay a loss — not solving the problem. If you cannot collect at least $0.05 net credit after the roll, close the position and move on.
Exception: Rolling down AND out (lower strike, longer DTE) can be done for small debit if it meaningfully improves your break-even and you still want to own the stock at the lower strike.
