January 26 changed the game (and most traders missed it)

January 26, 2026.

That's the date the SEC approved same-day options expiration on the biggest stocks in America.

Monday. Wednesday. Friday.

AAPL, AMZN, MSFT, META, NVDA, TSLA, GOOGL, AVGO.

Since that date, 0DTE volume has exploded to 24.1% of all U.S. listed options activity. Up 41% year over year. And most traders are completely misreading what that means.

They think three reset windows = three times the opportunity.

Wrong.

Go look at the expected move.

Because here's what nobody's telling you: the expected move for Monday is NOT the same as the expected move for Wednesday. And neither of them look like Friday. The structure is different. The pressure is different. The math is different.

But if you're still trading like every day is created equal... you're giving the market attention it hasn't earned. And probably losing money because of it.

I built DON-DTE around this exact framework. Not more alerts. Not more noise. More selectivity.

I'll explain how it works tomorrow.

But if you want to see the full breakdown now, it's here

Don't think. Just go look at the expected move.

To your success,

Don Kaufman
