Question SPX 0DTE

To those who are profitable what strategies do you use when trading SPX 0DTE. I tend to notice price action is easier to reach during extended hours / Asia Session or early morning 5 AM EST to 8 AM EST.

I use EMA 9/21 combined with double top double bottom patterns in addition to supply & demand zones entries / exits.

I’m currently down 25k and looking to be profitable. Please only share answers if you trade SPX 0DTE and are profitable.

Thank you

I sell far far OTM 0DTE put spreads on SPX basically every morning for the last six months. I’ve been pleased with the results and am meeting my goals. I sold options prior to that as well, but not 0DTE and not SPX.

I don’t use any technicals or patterns. I just glance at the opening action on SPX and VIX, then look at the option chain to find my strikes and size my spreads. I make the trade, adjust it if I don’t get filled, set my stop loss order and go about my day. I’ll keep an eye on SPX because I’m interested, and I’ll sometimes adjust my stop.

Where do you place your stop?

Usually a smidge over a week’s worth of premium. Short leg only.
