No, I mean it generally. not just for options selling. An options trade has an implicit plan --> just watch its PnL chart (for example of a Call spread, the orange curve there). Ie. you have to be comfortable with any of its possible outcomes, whatever happens. Then you can hold the stuff till expiration. My advice: just study the PnL chart, it's the key in understanding options trading, and the method I mean. The basis is of course the strike table, like this one below. In it you have to search for lucrative trades for different multi-leg options strategies (like spreads, straddle, strangle, etc.)...: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SAVE/options?p=SAVE&date=1705622400
