How and When to Roll Your Options Positions？ - Rumble (NASDAQ:RUM)

　　Since the position is ITM, we expect it to continue higher for the coming weeks to months. We decide to roll up the option position from the $8 strike price to the $10 strike price. Since we own 1 RUM $8 call expiring on Jan. 17, 2025, we can select the roll position feature and pick the new position, which will be the RUM $10 call with the same expiration.

　　The result of this roll-up will be a 60-cent credit, which is a profit that we booked while extending the upside potential on the trade.

　　Rolling Provides Agility

　　Rolling options enable you to adjust your strike price or expiration with the changes in your strategy. They can be used to book profits on ITM positions and buy time in OTM positions. The most important aspect is the agility it provides you when in an options position so that you don't have to be “stuck” in a position. Be sure to plan out your strategy ahead of time and stay nimble.
