A Market Love Story: Heading for a Fall
The 0DTE Strategy Most Traders Are Missing
Everyone talks about 0DTE options, but I helped build them. These weren’t made for guessing games. They were engineered to give pros an edge. Most still don’t get how to use them.

My thought process is to sell into strength and buy into weakness. It’s a difficult road to navigate to always sell into weakness and buy into strength, especially late in cycles.
Where are we today? Are we late into a cycle or early?
Do you have a systematic approach for gauging when risk is elevated and profits should be taken? Do you have a perspective or when the selling phase is close to being over and it’s time to look for bullish opportunities?
