Get ready for 2026 or get run over by it.
| | | "Everything that you do in zero DTE -- start with this premise." | That's my #1 rule for same-day expiration trading. | Assume you're going to be wrong 50% of the time. | Why? Because in a market where options drive underlying movement instead of the reverse, anything can happen. | The cart isn't just leading the horse anymore -- it's dragging the horse down the street. $1 trillion in daily 0DTE notional creates hedging requirements that move SPX regardless of fundamentals. | And as 2026 approaches, this is only accelerating. | You don't need to predict direction. You need to understand systematic positioning effects. | Buy something for 20 cents that expected move calculations suggest could be worth 40+ cents. The European Central Bank research confirms these patterns repeat systematically. | Wrong consistently? Still profitable with proper risk/reward ratios. | I spent 90 minutes this week breaking down the exact math: | How 0DTE offers the most advantageous risk/rewards in retail trading Why expected move calculations provide statistical edge How gamma positioning creates predictable patterns
| But here's the urgent part: AI integration is coming to 0DTE next. | The systematic nature of gamma effects makes this ideal for algorithmic strategies. When AI can identify and exploit positioning more efficiently than humans, the current opportunities disappear. | Watch my complete systematic breakdown | Learn the framework now while human edge still exists. | Because 2026 isn't going to wait for you to figure this out. | To your success, | Don Kaufman |
