A product that looks easier to trust and worth paying for
0DTE done with discipline. Gamma exposure, dealer positioning, IV term structure, and the four highest-EV setups for SPX/SPY same-day options.
Why 0DTE is different
- The math: gamma profile, theta decay curve, and why 0DTE is 80% gamma trade, 20% directional
- Dealer positioning and gamma exposure (GEX): the daily map of where the market is pinned vs. unanchored
- VIX vs. VIX1D divergence: the regime indicator for 0DTE volatility expansion
The four setups
- GEX pin fade: when dealers are long gamma, ranges hold — how to sell premium with defined risk
- Gamma flip break: when GEX flips negative, ranges break — directional debit spreads with size
- Open-drive continuation: 9:30-10:00 directional flow + 0DTE call/put debit spread for trend days
- End-of-day pinning: the 14:30-15:30 strike pin trade and its base rate by day of week
Execution + risk
- Spread selection: debit verticals vs. credit verticals vs. butterflies — when each fits the regime
- Position sizing for 0DTE: max loss per trade, daily loss limit, and the 'one bad day' insurance trade
- The 'no fly' calendar: FOMC, CPI, NFP, OPEX — when 0DTE setups become coin flips
- Slippage and fills: how to leg into spreads without getting hosed by market makers
Tooling
- Daily GEX dashboard inputs (SpotGamma, Menthor Q, or your own using free data)
- TradingView alert templates for the 4 setups
- A pre-market checklist of 9 items that goes before any 0DTE click

Jordan Mitchell
Verified buyerHonest about 0DTE being mostly gamma trade, not directional. Most 0DTE content sells directional fantasy. This sells discipline. Big difference.
Hannah Jacobs
Verified buyerGamma exposure framework is the lens I was missing. Once you can read whether dealers are long or short gamma the 0DTE day makes sense. Best resource I've found on this.
Zoe Lindqvist
Verified buyerPin-fade vs. flip-break is the core decision and this book nails it. I now check GEX before market open the same way I check the economic calendar.
Priya Sharma
Verified buyerDaily-loss-limit chapter is the most important. 0DTE is the fastest way to nuke an account and this book treats that seriously. Required reading before anyone touches same-day options.
Ethan Walsh
Verified buyerThe pre-market checklist is the part I use every day. 9 items, takes 4 minutes, has prevented multiple impulsive entries. Worth $89 just for that habit.
Maya Patel
Verified buyerThe end-of-day pinning trade has a real edge if you size it right. Base rate by day of week is something I'd never seen quantified before this book.
Alex Thompson
Verified buyerThe 'no fly' calendar chapter saved me from selling premium into a CPI print my first week. That alone paid for the book five times over.
