PAL - options premiums

Time decay accelerates indeed when you near expiration.
Options players usually roll their options at the end of the calendar month.
I have not enough observations (always forget to save those files) to thell wether:
- the roll day is the last day of the month
- or the last Fri of the month
- or 3 weeks before expiration
- or 2 weeks before expiration.
On many observations though, OI dropped significantly on the change of the calendar month.
