let the above options expire , and when you have losses , after 2 weeks losses buy an extra call spread
your equity curve should look like this

Call spreads are limited reward strategies.
agreed with your wisdom
if you could get breakout/trending spreads in place of call spreads , we could do better .You need options to run their profits to expiry for profitability
No. I seldom held any of my options to expiry except occasionally on some short calls.
On some of my strategies , I do the same and this is where here is money to be made , by taking calculated risks. I write long term butterflies , then buy back the short middles at much lower cost after premium declines and let lower and upper ride for large gains .
