    Hedge my ITM leap position - need help

    Can you give me an example of calender you can do? I don't think you reduce the risk , but increase it You will have less time to be right about the direction , and 3-4K loss in 6 months is like 8K loss in 12 month I think also the break even point will be much higher.
