If I understand it correctly, during these 6-12 months, you still have to monitor on a regular basis, so you can buy it back at the best price/time-left ratio that can hit well before expiry.

I don’t really get how a longer period is actually less stressful. So much can happen during that time.

I very rarely buy options back and rather let it run to zero value

Longer is less stressful (for me) because

  • 1 trade (e.g. 18 months expiration date) rather than e.g. 3 trades (each time 6 months)
  • Typically shortly before expiration is where it becomes interesting
