In my experience, 0 DTE is for traders that want to stay in their seat the whole time the trade is on and are only managing THAT TRADE. You know, people that like to be done by 11:30 EST and want no overnight risk. My B&B is a 10-12 delta IC placed around 9:40 and pulled during the 10:30 rebound. If I miss the 10:30 exit, then I usually get another chance around 1:45 EST.
Do not trade to make a fortune. Trade to make an income. First try to cover your daily expenses. Then add. If you can be consistent and disciplined, continue. If not, take a job.
On 0 DTE's you need to do extreme high probability at .02 to .05, have even done .01, Deltas on selling put or credit spreads. I have been testing this and have had 100% wins in two weeks of testing. I usually wait till 11:00 to 11:30 am to let the market decide where it's going and I use a SPX $5 wide, then I can adjust at 1:30, if needed. I close early if I can or let them run till expiration. And use a commission free Broker. Just increase your quantity of contracts bought and like any trade, be ready to roll! As far as managing I have no problem being in my seat and viewing the screen all day, since as a business intelligence and artificial intelligence consultant, I am sitting in front of my screen at home all day anyway with my chart monitor to one side.
I recall trying this years ago, but tasty would close out the trade even when they were OTM, and I was forced to take losses on winning trades... thanks
Instead of +/- $ amount it should have been measured in +/- % movement. That would have normalized the movement. 2$ movement 10 years ago is different than 10 days ago, but 1% move is the same.
That’s an excellent point that’s not addressed in this video. There’s a lot of scheduled news and market moving events that happen in a 45-day period. Not to mention the unscheduled events that no one see’s coming.
0 DTE is 0DTE, why to bother 45dDTE. There are 2 different strategies. Watch when a fly makes the most profit? And the, this is a delta neutral strategy, so the market goes nowhere.
I’ve always struggled to find the right tools for managing trades until I started watching your videos. You make everything so clear, it’s like learning from a friend. My roommate introduced me to step finance last month, and I’ve been testing it out ever since. Think it’s a smart move, or is there something better I should try?
Selling, and at the money and buying one strike out of the money on zero days to expire yields and net credit greater than 50% of the max loss even net of commissions. The strategy seems to deliver a positive expected value with enough occurrences, correct?
bang on. What do you use? I came here today with this specific question: 'What's the cheapest platform to open, roll SPX Options?. Commission seem to be increasing all the time.'
Writing these 0-3 DTE options that everyone loves is the new meta but its got a decent barrier to entry both knowledge and capital. Doing it safely is very difficult. Shovels in a gold rush sort of idea.
@@Canalyoutubechido the difference being now one can stay consistently at the steepest part of the exponential decay curve relative to time and capital. I personally prefer the 36-24 hours till expiration area myself for day trading short options. To maximize my average hourly theta : delta ratios relative to value at risk.
I find combining technical analysis with this general strategy in order to time entries results in super high winning percentages. I like to use Demark in conjunction with Nadaraya envelopes on 3 - 5 min time frame and stagger into the trade with the first side in the direction of the primary trend and then the other side as a counter trend, assuming I get the initial move that Demark and Nadaraya were indicating.
it makes sense when you look at it this way. tradeoffs are collecting a fraction of the credit but more directional risk. of course the trades of 0dtes come off faster and require more management and fees
You need to be right and right often. You really can't go off option theoreticals either. You need to account for slippage and in the case of your $1 wide vertical of $27 your win rate needs to be 73% to breakeven or 7% edge on the 66% POP because your premium would be $33 if you weren't paying somewhere. Another way to think about it is the house having a 7% edge against your trade for that example. To the gamma risk side of this video yeah if you're a directional guy this is your domain otherwise yeah stay away
@@jaymes7521 Trading futures is a day trade, so what? You can open and close as many futures trades in 24hrs. Not with SPX if you do not have at least 25K account.
Interestingly, assignment risk is not talked about. Taking 0DTE's to expiration is risky business. How many times do we see the market make a crazy directional move in the last 15 minutes? Can easily take your pretty profit to assignment town.
you should show the options in pennies not dollars like you did in your example. Keep it consistent and accurate. If you trade options and don’t know the $.27 equals $27 then maybe you should trade something else.
how does that change if you do a 30 wide? does that make the credit 3/8 relative the 45DTE. and then if its a 30 wide Call/Put Butterfly, does that make the credit 6/8 or 3/4 the credit of the 45DTE. how does that change the risk to return?
Looking at the chart at 6:30ish… the gamma “risk” is skewed into the trader’s favor. 10x positive, 13x positive, 25x positive, -5x negative, -16x negative
0DET on spreads are like gambling in my trading experience. What worked out the best for me is 1 -2 weeks DET 20 delta. At 50% profit I close the trade and rinse and repeat.
i agree it seems these 0dte set-ups coincide with DraftKings etc. I watch a tennis match or any sporting event and all I see are light hearted gambling commercials. And kids are hoping on board. 0dte plays right into this. I have no interest. It's a slippery slope imo. I'm starting to toy with 1-2 week credit spreads but I will buy some protection and reuse the protection. I think of it like this. In your 50% profit scenario ur probably making 5% profit when u win but...when you lose many of those 5% wins get wiped out. I'd rather go for 2% wins including the cost of a hedge and avoid BS events at all times. I haven't perfected this yet (hedging imo is the most important skill and least talked about) but my radar tell me 5% bi-weekly returns are unrealistic. The BS GAP is gonna bite. But I agree with you this is just gambling on steroids. I normally trade diagonals with a hedge but my sense is we will enter a calm period the next few months so credit spreads may be a good strategy. This was a good video that confirmed my instincts. I'm not interested, lol.
Play what is working for you. Do you eat something that you do not like. 1-2 weeks for me has the same stress like 0 DTE. In 1-2 weeks it is enough to have 2-3 gaps in he same direction.
@@constantins5549 in short...if u can't hedge it don't trade it. 0dte leave no room for hedging. 1-2 weeks can be hedged but in general i don't like credit spreads. i prefer diagonals bc they most resemble the Covered call which is easily hedged. Credit Spreads are very difficult to hedge.
Apparently fidelity doesn't pass through the exchange fee for SPX, but the weak platforms and service could end up costing you. TDA lets many customers negotiate down the broker commission, but the fills can be poor. IBKR pro has tiered broker commissions which can be lower but would still pass through the exchange fee (liquidity taker/maker fees would not apply to SPX) So.... There's no perfect solution. Makes more sense to try some platforms and then try to optimize cost and/or switch after you have some key strategies that begin to matter more than the platform or broker
So If I get this right, if one insists on placing zero-Day-To expire type spreads, you better be using 45-day to expire spreads instead or if the market moves against you, rolling will be useless.
Hmm, I do 0dte spreads but they’re giving me a heart attack! During these turbulent times, I’m really trying to avoid the overnight risk. I’m wondering if I can sell the spreads on another dte, like maybe a weekly, but exit at the end of the day. Wash and repeat. I think my weekly and daily projections would have to align for a decent profit at the end of the day. And if the trade goes against you, you can choose to defend by rolling, just play it out - maybe your weekly projection is correct, have time to buy protection, sell the other side and so on. I rather take on the overnight risk than have my 0dte move against me…those are violent! Thoughts?

Word to the wise. The temptation to chase your loss on these things will have you blowing up your account in no time. My advice is you lose, you snooze.. meaning if you lose that day, sleep on it and try again tomorrow.
I traded 0DTE SPY put once ... market closed 2 cents below my strike, I got assigned. In pre-market next day market tanked. I watched the position lose couple hundreds while waiting for the market open. Since then I trade mini SPX instead - cash settled, problem solved

0dte no overnight risks. You only sell to gamblers while in 45 dte you you all kinds of risks. Also the POP is not fair and depends on IV every day is a different day.
Comparing the returns of 0 and 45 day strategies to the same move size doesnt make sense. They have very different expected moves. Its a bit apples to oranges.

I'm a directional genius myself, as are 99.99% of losing traders who show off as winners. So 0DTEs is my kinda stuff. Right? How about delta-neutrals on 0DTEs, gauging the next day's candlistick size as an order of magnitude. You with me? An exercize in bayesian probability. And rigorous money management and bet sizing.
But "Delta neutral" is almost meaningless when gamma is so high. I'd like to better understand when short gamma is a sensible risk to add (maybe it's only when you want high theta, and it's that simple)

@@mites7 keeping the longs until exercise cut-off (instead of closing before 0 DTE) could be a source of "cheap" gamma for speculation/lottos, adjusting the portfolio, selling off chunks of theta decay, etc.
0 DTE could include more than just new positions for speculation...
0DTE vertical spreads requires me to be a day trader.
Robinhood does not allow stop limit orders on multi-leg options trades.
0dte no overnight risks. You only sell to gamblers while in 45 dte you you all kinds of risks. Also the POP is not fair and depends on IV every day is a different day.
Comparing the returns of 0 and 45 day strategies to the same move size doesnt make sense. They have very different expected moves. Its a bit apples to oranges.
The ending comment sounds like sarcasm instead of instruction, "do a lot of one day spreads "
The take away from the trading platform is to take as many trades as possible to maximize their fees
35 delta is too close
So whether puts or calls, which strikes do you choose for 0dte if you don't mind me asking
@@BillyJ10i would pick .16 delta.
The best sign to not go for the 0 dte strategy : everybody is doing it.
Really. I made several thousands in 2 weeks. I lost double because I am idiot like all those who loose money and I do not follow the rules. It was that day when SPX went up more than 120 points (Powel spoke at whatever event and I found out too late.
@@constantins5549 I learned I have to check the calendar pre-market. Forex Factory, free.
These kinf of strategies do not make sense to me, the win/loss ratio is unaccpeptable 1:3 or even higher.
Lesson: Don't be wrong. Not financial advice.
If you are a directional genius then why take a neutral-ish trade
You title your video "How we trade 0DTE Verticle Spreads" then conclude that you don't trade them often and don't explain any strategy for trading them. Thanks for wasting my time. I've concluded you make all your money from Tastytrade and don't make any as a trader.
Looks like you aren't familiar with the Market Mesures segment. It's all about study and fact based on statistic analysis from their data team. It's not about trading strategy.
@@WhiskyZx3 Fine. Dont give your videos misleading click bait names then. There is no discussion on how to trade 0DTE as the title implies.
But seriously give them a try, tasty trade makes really great content and all for free
@@WhiskyZx3 you may want to consider taking trading advice from people who make money actually trading as opposed to running a brokerage. Skin in the game...
I work with a professional coach as well. Can't complain after 3 years, but I think you're bias a bit for whatever reason against Tasty Trade. I've learn a ton with them, they have so much ressource, but if you stick to the misleading title of that video, I can't help. 😅
Is Tony OK here? The incoherent mumbling and disjointed verbal communication made this painful to listen to. Tom, please get your friend some coffee or something.
😂
u collect 217 and u lose 683 o yeah sound like a great deal to me u zimmie
thats is max loss. you could use SL
@@techfactsglobal2571 You can not! otherwise profitability rate of 62% drops significantly. As a matter of fact you should do the exact opposite to be profitable according to their backtest results.
U zimmi ?
you trade probability, not risk/reward. The bigger probability, the bigger risk/reward. Do you think that the MM is stupid? Which are its odds? The premium. Bigger probability=bigger risk.
@@techfactsglobal2571 You trade probability.
if you let the 0dte expire, but I think the trick is to not let it expire
Tom is unbearable I dont know how tony does it.
I'm a directional genius myself, as are 99.99% of losing traders who show off as winners. So 0DTEs is my kinda stuff. Right? How about delta-neutrals on 0DTEs, gauging the next day's candlistick size as an order of magnitude. You with me? An exercize in bayesian probability. And rigorous money management and bet sizing.
I like it.
But "Delta neutral" is almost meaningless when gamma is so high. I'd like to better understand when short gamma is a sensible risk to add (maybe it's only when you want high theta, and it's that simple)
