Скачать или смотреть 0 DTE SPX Trading - Keep it Simple and SMART

In this video, I break down my core 0-DTE day trading framework and explain why trading psychology and simplicity matter more than constantly chasing new strategies.

After years of trading options, I’ve learned that even proven strategies fail for many traders—not because the math is wrong, but because the strategy doesn’t fit their psychology. In this video, I explain how I structure my own short-term trading around a simple, repeatable edge and then choose the best option structure for the day.

We start with a 5-minute opening range breakout on the S&P, which my backtesting shows has roughly a 57% directional edge for where price finishes by the end of the day. From there, I explain how I decide between:

Bullish put credit spreads

Bearish broken wing butterflies

When each structure provides a better risk profile

Why bearish broken wing butterflies tend to outperform bullish ones due to market skew

I also walk through how I balance mechanical rules with limited discretion, especially late in the trading day when gamma risk increases. You’ll see how I manage exits, avoid holding losing trades out of hope, and smooth the overall profit curve without turning the strategy into guesswork.

This video is about:

Keeping 0-DTE trading simple

Matching strategies to your mental comfort level

Understanding risk profiles, not just win rate

Using discretion responsibly without breaking your trading plan
