SPY 0DTE Playbook — How We Trade Same-Day Expiry Options
How We Trade SPY 0DTE Options
Most people think 0DTE options are a gamble.
They're right — for most people.
For traders with a system, they are the most powerful and precise instrument available to retail traders. Here's the core framework we use inside the SPY 0DTE Playbook Mentorship.

The Non-Negotiables
1. Pre-Market Ritual (Every Day)
Before the open: check futures, VIX level, economic calendar, and identify key SPY support/resistance levels. Set a directional bias — bullish, bearish, or neutral. No bias = no trade.
2. The 10-Point Pre-Trade Checklist
Every trade runs through 10 questions before entry. Score below 8/10 and the trade does not happen. This single filter eliminates most losing trades before they ever occur.
3. Defined Risk on Every Trade
Max 2% of account per trade
Max 5–6% of account per day
Hit the daily limit → session is over → no exceptions
4. The Entry Windows
Prime window #1: 9:45 AM – 11:30 AM ET
Prime window #2: 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM ET
We avoid the first 15 minutes and the last hour entirely unless managing an existing position.
5. Weekly KPI Review
Every Friday: win rate, average win/loss ratio, expectancy, and max drawdown are logged and reviewed. No data = no improvement.
