Want to roll positions into next week slight OTM SPY/IWM puts, maybe keep some powder dry for sporadic earnings bets. But dunno if we see any drastic moves down this week or next week most probably the next big down starts in May.

Then comes the hard part, researching individual names to trade. I think implied volatility will definitely rise, but what's left to see is will realized vol also increase? My strategy started declining in efficacy towards the later half of last month because

While implied vol stayed heavily elevated $SPX realized vol declined massively. (Should have expected this and adapted the strategy, realistically how long could realized vol stay at like 100 lol). But anyway, if realized vol lags implied

Slight OTM options which are a key portion of my strategy become more expensive lower probability plays. this lag could happen in periods of strong chop like I think will happen this week and the next, so I want to be prepared with other tickers to trade

Alternatively I could just fork over the margin requirements for futures and learn how to trade those hahaha
