... for a 2.56 credit. Comments: Looked like it was going to stay within in the strikes ... until yesterday, so rolling out here for duration and a credit. Total credits collected of 9.89 on a five wide with break evens at 65.11/79.89.
... for a 2.40 credit. Comments: Been rolling this for quite a while now ... . Mechanically rolling out for duration at 50% max to the <16 delta strike paying 1% of the strike price in credit in the shortest duration expiry, which is currently August (neither July 15th nor July 22nd <16 delta are paying 1%). I'm doing this in lieu of adding units in SPY at the...

... for a 2.31 credit. Comments: Part of a longer-dated strategy to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market. With the June 17th 370 at greater than 50% max, rolling it out to the <16 delta strike in shortest duration monthly paying at least 1% of the strike price in credit. Credits collected of 3.65 (See Post Below), plus the 2.31 here equals 5.96...

... for a 92.02 debit. Comments: Now that the underlying has done its "earnings move," I'm uninverting and rolling for a debit that is less than the total credits I've collected so far (95.25). I generally don't like to make a habit of doing this, but with both legs in the money and with the 275 somewhat illiquid (and therefor a pain to roll), I'm doing it...
... for a .90 credit. Comments: Locking in some realized gain here on this little bounce, recentering side risk, and receiving a credit all at the same time. I rolled both sides to the 16 delta strikes, so that the position is back to delta neutral. Total credits received of 4.69, relative to a current short strangle price for the July 1st 158/194 of 3.28, so...

... for a 3.25 credit. Comments: Rolled down and out for a credit, decreasing buying power effect, reducing cost basis, and lowering position long delta.
