Net Premium and P&L: The Real Story
Net Premium Calculation:
For rolled positions (highlighted in yellow in your table), the net premium reflects all previous gains/losses. For example:
TSLL 6/20/2025 Call $9.70: Rolled for a net premium of $309 (after a $2,650 loss on the previous contract).
HOOD 6/6/2025 Call $55.00: Rolled, net premium is $192.
NVDA 8/15/2025 Call $125.00: Rolled, net premium is $365.
SMCX 6/20/2025 Put $40.00: Rolled, net premium is $214.87.
SMCI 6/20/2025 Put $46.00: Net effective premium is $242.
Total Net Premium (Unrealized P&L):
Adding up all net effective premiums (including unrolled positions at face value), your portfolio’s current unrealized P&L stands at $4,245.13.
Capital at Risk
Each contract’s “executed value” (e.g., $4,000 for a $40 put) is the notional amount you may need to provide if assigned. This is your real collateral requirement and a critical risk metric.
