If you trade vertical option spreads (call or put) what are your open/close criteria and your cash management strategy?

And how would you manage it if it's your own investments?

I seldom trade options now. but what i will do

to open: must know what is the underlying, options premium < 10% of account, premium vs potential profits at leat 50%, IV vs HV (must be significantly higher or lower depending whether i want to buy or sell)

will also use some TA, but it rarely affects my decisions

to close: for spreads, i just hold until expiry.
