- 60% of SPX volume now expires the same day
60% of SPX volume now expires the same day
Tomorrow 1 PM ET - I'm breaking down how to actually trade this market.

Let me hit you with a number:
60%.
That's how much of SPX options volume is now 0DTE.
Not 10%. Not 20%.
Sixty percent.
2.3 million contracts per day. On average.
And today alone?
By early session, SPX 0DTE had already moved 737k calls and 700k puts.
This isn't a side bet anymore.
It's the main event.
And here's what that means for you:
The frameworks you're using...
The setups you learned...
The "wait and see" approach that used to work...
They were built for a market where expiration was WEEKS away.
Not hours.
This is my 100% 0DTE-only training.
And I'm walking through:
→ Why 0DTE feels like chaos (and how to slow it down)
When 60% of volume expires today...
The entire relationship between price, gamma, and dealer hedging changes.
I'll show you exactly what that looks like... and how to navigate it.
→ The ONE rule that determines every trade I take
I don't chase every move.
I wait for specific conditions that show up repeatedly in same-day expiration markets.
And when they appear, the trade becomes obvious.
→ Real 0DTE breakdowns (winners AND losers)
I'm not showing you highlight reels.
I'm walking through actual trades.
What I saw. Why I entered. What happened next.
→ How to know if this even makes sense for your account
0DTE isn't for everyone.
And I'll tell you exactly who SHOULDN'T trade it.
Because forcing a strategy that doesn't fit is how accounts blow up.
This training is free.
Live tomorrow. 1 PM Eastern.
This is the last one I'm running this month.
If you miss it, you're waiting until February.
60% of the market moved on.
Tomorrow, I'll show you how to move with it.
To your success,
Don Kaufman
