Options Trading during these volaaatile times

I’ve been thinking about how options traders manage the insane stress when markets get volatile. When delta, gamma, and the rest of the Greeks are flying around, and prices are shifting rapidly, how do you keep up?

Do you have systems in place to quickly adjust your hedges? Is it just experience and mental agility? Or do you lean on models, automation, and intuition? I feel like I’d be too stressed trying to do mental math while things are moving that fast.

Curious to hear from those in the trenches—how do you stay sharp when the pressure is on?
