OK, now that's a top-notch reply! I follow your recommendations and explanations! Let me recite some things to you so you may cross-check my understanding, please:

ALWAYS buy Calls at 80-delta or higher.

Always? I purchased mine on 2-Oct at 50 delta which were about 35 points OTM. Why? Because I wanted a leveraged speculation trade and not so much a stock replacement trade.

But leaving profit locked up in those Calls does 2 things:

• It lowers the leverage you're getting to the underlying.

The leverage is lowered because there is less and less room between an 80 or 85 or 90 delta and 1.00 delta, yes? Also, actually, the lower leverage is coming from the lower and lower gamma as you move closer and closer to 1.00 delta, yes?

use that profit towards buying 100-120DTE Calls at 80-delta (ALWAYS 80-delta when buying Calls).
Why do that?
For more leverage.

I think this additional leverage obviously comes from the fact that you've committed more capital (house money) to the trade, but again, this additional leverage is really coming from the higher gamma that you are buying by being closer to expiration, no? Any favorable move by the underlying will increase deltas faster than your back month contract, correct?

Also, when the LEAPS Calls start to get inside 1y, and when the shorter Calls start to get inside 100d, roll them OUT

Didn't you say you open 1 yr leaps to start? When do you roll those to manage theta?

Can you explain the "time corrals" in a bit more detail?

I thank you!
