That's one approach, but daily is too short term for me. I'm selling 16 ish delta SPX and NDX puts when the market is down and selling SPX/NDX calls when it's up. Typically going out 45 DTE and rolling around 21 DTE.  If you're targeting 10% - 15% per year, you don't have to risk much to make it happen. It's always tempting to go bigger because 16 dela trades works nearly 90% of the time,...but the 10% of the time it doesn't work can and basically always does happen eventually so I keep my size appropriate.
