Trade Adjustment: Rolled Forward and Down 1 Put Option on NASDAQ:NKLA – 5% potential income return in 49 days

On September 1, 2022, I rolled forward and rolled down 1 put option on NASDAQ: NKLA stock with an expiry set in the next 29 days (September 30). With this trade adjustment, I lowered the strike price from $5.5 to $5 and made a small premium of $8 (after commissions)

I opened this trade back on August 12

With NKLA price falling under my strike price I decided to avoid the assignment and roll for a credit.

here is the trade setup:

• BOT 1 NKLA Sep02'22 5.5 PUT 0.35 USD

• SLD 1 NKLA Sep30'22 5 PUT 0.48 USD

For this option, I got an additional credit of 8 USD (after commissions) and increased potential income return to 5% in 49 days, if options expire worthlessly
