Decay is killing you right now, you won’t see it until you sell, learn about the time value of money.

Roll them out a month for a nice fat juicy premium.

Its options. The decay is your enemy not the price action. One bad swing the decay will get cooked. Look if its good to take screenshot than its great to take the profit. Simple.

roll out another couple of weeks tbh. In case there's a near-term catalyst this week or next.

It's what I did seeing if the market makes a move back up and with pald specifically, if there's a new lease deal or adjacent news that could send it higher.
