First, what’s your strategy?
I never get more advanced than long calls/puts, covered calls, cash secured puts, credit spreads, and the occasional iron condor.

I go long calls 2-12 months out on names that I hold or would like to hold after they get beaten down.
Example: I am holding a NBIS $35 call with a Jan ‘26 expiration.
Bought it last Monday when the stock went down 30-40%
Currently up 46% on that trade.
I would look for something similar if the market is way down tomorrow.
I also enjoy scalping short dated SPY calls/puts. 1-2 DTE, so it’s quite a bit safer than 0DTE. The key, is naming your exit and trading with a reasonable amount of capital.
I’m out at 10–15 percent. People mess up when they insist on making 100-1000% on these.

I have a shopping list so to speak of things I like at lower prices.Down 500 or so Monday I'll try and sell some OTM puts with a 2 week expiration. Volitality will likely have jumped and the premium will fade fast on a rally.

After thinking a bit more, if the market is way down tomorrow morning, my favorite play may be getting paid to buy NBIS at $25. A cash secured put. Would probably sell a 2/21.

Not a bad thought.
I'm looking at selling puts on TQQQ and DPST.
Want to see how NVDA looks. May short puts on NVDL {leveraged NVDA ETF}

I only sell put spreads on Mag7. Long and short term.
You make your money on red days. And it looks like Monday and the days that follow may be very red days indeed.

Favorite is a long diagonal spread. The rest that I use are call and put spreads and bull put spreads and bear call spreads.
