Most traders think the opportunity ends at 4 PM.
The overnight window is the most overlooked edge in zero DTE trading. On Tuesday I am showing you exactly how I use it.

The closing bell rings. Most traders shut their screens down.
I open mine up.
The period between the close at 4 PM and the cash open the next morning is where stocks make their biggest uninterrupted moves.
The S&P closes. Oil is still moving. Iran is still in the headlines. None of that matters. The overnight session goes where the expected move said it would go.
Just price moving toward where the expected move said it would go.
I place a zero DTE butterfly before or right after the close.
The overnight session does the work. By the time the market opens, the trade has either hit or it has not.
Here is what that looked like recently.
+223% on MSFT in 72 hours.
+236% on GOOGL in 24 hours.
+282% on TSLA in 24 hours.
+311% on META in 72 hours.
+365% on TSLA in 72 hours.
None of those required watching a screen. All of them were placed in the window most traders ignore.
On Tuesday March 31 at 1 PM ET I am going live to walk through exactly how this works.
Why the 4 PM close is where I believe the opportunity begins.
How the expected move identifies the target zone before the overnight session starts. And why a VIX 30 environment makes this window even more powerful.
This is a free live training. Registration is required.
If you want to understand how to trade the overnight window the way I do, be there Tuesday.
To your success,
Don Kaufman
P.S. The overnight window fires three times a week in my strategy. Tuesday I will show you the setup behind every one of those results above. Don't think. Just register.
