Figure 21 and Figure 22 show that rolling the call spread position before expiry
would have generally (but not always) resulted in higher risk-adjusted returns,
across many different strategies-. Rolling prior to expiry allows you to reduce
the negative effects of time decay, since shorter-dated options lose their time
value quickly.
Rolling early also allows you to re-strike the calls, which is especially important
for options that have become far out-of-the-money. Rolling will rebalance the
delta exposure higher in these cases. However, note that rolling early will
result in higher transactions cost.
