What should my plan be for my open positions before I take time off from trading?

Answer the questions about your open positions and trip length to generate your plan card.
How this is calculated
This card is generated from your own answers about your current positions. It does not connect to your brokerage account and cannot see your actual holdings.
A resting stop-loss order matters most here, since it is the one protection that keeps working while you are completely offline.
Options positions carry two extra risks while you are away: time decay continues every day including the days you are not watching, and any expiration that falls during your trip needs a decision made in advance.
If a major earnings report or economic event falls during your trip and you cannot react to it, reducing or closing the position before you leave removes that specific risk entirely.
