Moving stop loss down to daily close over 50D EMA, which is currently @ 167.23 - this event will just force a re-evaluation and a potential re-entry at a better time.I will look to roll these forward as well if the position is still valid come EOD.

Rolled these down and out to the 11/19 160/140P's for an additional debit of .83.This brings the total debit to 4.7,
Break-even at 155.3
SL is a daily close > 170

Went ahead and closed this out, trying to recover what I can.Filled at 2.9
All of this is time value premium (TVP), because the stock still hasn't made it back down below the strike.
So another way to look at this is what is our break-even for the value in the contracti right now?
With the contract valued at 2.9, and all of this being TVP, the stock would have to fall 2.9 points below the long put, to 157.1, about 4% below the current stock price.
I expect there is a very small chance this could happen, and so I am closing this out today on the increase in IV.
Anmerkung
Don't worry, I am imagining.Considering this was never an earnings play, I'm okay with missing this black swan.
