For this trade, I got a premium of 218 USD (after commissions). In case my strike price will be reached on the expiry date I will realize a 19.96% potential income return in 53 days
I decided to roll up a bit my strike price from $6.5 to $7
What happens next?

If the strike price will not be reached, I will roll forward these contracts and collect more premiums.
