You can get assigned at any time. So unless you can afford to take the shares then credit spreads are not a viable option.
Just asking for a simple roll over options calculator,

I'm doing a sell put at the moment and have the money set aside on collateral. That's no worry... Collected a little over 300 in credit so far. So even if assigned today my cost average is reduced by 3.00
Also being there is a chance of being assigned anytime I'm going to roll it over a few weeks out at around the strike price it's trading around now. Will collect the premium...
Rolling simply to avoid assignment is exactly the reason why you shouldn't, unless you have determined that the new position is the one that you want based on best guess of Spot-Vols-Time and not just the position you will end up with default !
Exactly, because Sosnoff is obsessed with rolling losing trades until he can get out at breakeven, rather than focus on best use of capital !
I have been hearing alot about tastyworks lately.....so they figure out the net credits of all rolls and then what if assigned? Does it figure out the new credits of all rolls and the cost basis there after on the assignment ??
TT's comms suck. They charge $1 on the open, no closing comms. The front end is utter dog shit. No real analytics. The mobile app and desktop app conflict on PNL and haircut. How? HTF does that happen?
Stress by beta is broken. They suck ass.
If you're contemplating a trade based upon cost basis of prior trades then you are doing this wrong.

I’ve not looked at it a lot but I think they only track the PnL of a series of option rolls/adjustments. They don’t then apply any of this PnL to assigned share cost basis. However, they are the one I know of that does track PnL of multiple “rolls”.

The brokers I use told.me that you will not see the net credits in the assignment but after the trade is closed out that on the pnl realized lost and gains statement you will see where the cost basis took effect. So if you received $500 in net credits on IWM and assignment at $200 you'll see your cost basis as $200 but after selling cost basis will appear as $195 on your realized profit and loss statement once the trade is closed out.
