Hi Dan; For the same reasons you said I usually use leaps for spreads and shorter term for covered calls. A lot depends on the demand at a certain strike price. I also try to keep a variety of ex-dates; so as not to have every thing tied all to one time frame. Most of the time with the spreads I don't shoot for a real big hit and do both the buy and sell in the money, "risk" control has a priority with me. Heck marked to market on a daily basis I only have one spread that doesn't have both sides in the money in spite of the overall bearishness of the market. I only adjust them if the stock is moving UP and a strike I'm not in shows enough demand to were rolling into it improves my dollar/spread ratio or reduces the risk factor enough to please me, but I don't have any set amount, I just wing taht depending on what my outlook is for the underlying stock.
