ROKU PMCC Check-In: No Action Required

My ROKU stock is a poor mans covered call. The underlying price is around 86.19. Look at the image. Do we need to do anything with the short call at this time?

Yep — based on what you showed, no action is needed on the short call right now. This is actually a *textbook “do nothing” PMCC moment.

Let me walk it cleanly so it’s obvious why.


What the position looks like (from the image)

Underlying (ROKU): ~86.19

PMCC legs

  • Short call: Mar 20 100C, ~42 DTE
    • Well OTM
    • Very low delta
    • No assignment risk
  • Long LEAP: Jan 15 60C, ~343 DTE
    • Deep ITM
    • Doing its job as stock replacement

PMCC decision checklist (applied to your trade)

1. Is the short call threatened?

❌ No

  • Strike 100 vs price 86 → ~14 points away
  • No upside pressure
  • Delta is tiny

2. Is gamma risk present?

❌ No

  • 42 DTE is well outside the danger zone
  • Gamma only starts to matter meaningfully <21 DTE

3. Has most of the short premium been captured?

❌ No

  • You’re not near a 50–70% capture yet
  • Rolling now would be volatility-neutral at best and usually a mistake

4. Is there a reason to proactively roll?

❌ No
Valid proactive roll reasons would be:

  • Short delta creeping >0.30–0.35
  • Price approaching the strike
  • DTE <21 with meaningful premium left

None of those apply.


Correct action right now

Do nothing

  • Let theta work
  • Let volatility breathe
  • Keep optionality

This is exactly the state you want a PMCC to be in.
