Zero-Day Options: 6 Strong Advantages Over Traditional Day Trading
0DTE Options
By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker
Options
Zero-day options are normal options — puts and calls — that expire in less than one day, hence the “0DTE” nickname (short for “zero days to expiration”).
In the current high-volatility environment we’re experiencing – one very likely to last awhile – one of the better alternatives to day trading, particularly in stock index futures like the E-mini S&P 500, E-mini Nasdaq, etc., is buying short-term call and put options.
With expirations every day of the week, stock index futures options can be purchased with minimal overall time value and give you a maximum risk coupled with a limitless upside potential.
Especially with markets seemingly hair-triggered to make large daily moves, but with erratic action intraday, the purchase of a limited-risk option provides staying power that no amount of rapid in-and-out trading trying to catch a large move can outperform.

In times of Volatility, Avoid These 7 Costly Mistakes During 3000+ Point Dow Jones Days
Extreme Volatility + CPI Tomorrow
By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker
Dow Jones & other indices
As of this typing stock index futures and other futures contracts have experienced single-day range moves not seen in years and after being down, finished up:
→ E-mini Dow Jones: UP +3044 points / 8.4%
→ E-mini S&P 500: UP +480 points / 9.5%
→ E-mini Nasdaq: UP +2038 points / 11.71%
→ Crude Oil: UP +320 points / 5.2%
Volatility is skyrocketing.
This is a completely different environment of extreme trading volatility than what we were trading in 3-4 weeks ago. Markets are evolving and you must adapt your trading to changing market conditions.
This is where you find out what kind of risk taker you are; brash, overbold, unheeding, or prudent, attentive, discriminating. Everyone possesses these traits – and they influence our decision-making differently in different situations.
In trading, if the historical price moves you’re seeing bring out the daredevil in you, plan to watch your trade results all over the place: up and down more than your everyday swings with the odds increasing your account will hit a wall.
Instead, incorporate patience and prudence. Start your trading by setting daily profit targets and daily loss limits and stick to them. Do that for each trade. These days, be aware of LIMIT moves and understand what happens when the market halts at limit levels.
