on your tax selling:

yes, you could sell MDIN and buy NPEC, taking the loss while retaining exposure to the play if you are concerned about missing a move in the next 31 days.

From a tax perspective there is no need to sell securities with offsetting gains and losses the same day--all sales in a given tax year count the same regardless of whether on Jan 1 or Dec 31. They all count the same on your tax form (assuming no sales later became wash sales). In fact, there is little reason to ever synchronize gains and losses to the day--one is always trying to accelerate losses and defer gains.

I am unfortunately pretty familiar with capturing tax losses :(
