NICHOLAS GIBBS | INVESTING AGAINST THE GRAIN
0DTE options (zero days to expiration) are one of my most consistent and reliable trades—and they're exploding in popularity worldwide. Major players like Tesla now offer them (with daily expirations gaining traction even on individual stocks), and they've become a dominant force in the options market, often accounting for over 50-60% of volume on indices like the S&P 500.
As the market keeps shifting toward these ultra-short-term instruments, two things are non-negotiable:
1. Truly understanding your risk exposure
2. Having a clear, disciplined strategy and plan
That's exactly what this course delivers. I'll break down exactly how 0DTE options work, when they're your edge, and crucially when to sit them out entirely. Done right, they can deliver steady consistency. Done wrong (without the proper knowledge), they can wipe you out fast.
Important: This is an advanced course it's only for students who've already completed my Options Crash Course. That foundation ensures you have the core options knowledge needed to handle these high-speed trades safely and effectively.
Don't jump into 0DTE without the right prep. If you've got the basics down and are ready to level up, this is the next step toward making them work for you consistently.
Investing differently feels risky at first. Here are honest answers to the questions I get most often.
0DTE (zero days to expiration) options are contracts that expire at the end of the current trading day. They're ultra-short-term instruments available on major indices like SPX, and popular ETFs like SPY and QQQ (with daily expirations now common). This short lifespan creates rapid time decay (theta) and high sensitivity to price moves (gamma), which can lead to quick gainsor losses.
They've exploded in volume (often 50%+ of SPX options trades) because they allow traders to speculate on intraday moves without overnight risk. Major underlyings like Tesla now have them too, and the market is shifting toward these daily expirations. But popularity doesn't mean they're easy—high reward potential comes with amplified risks.
Unlike longer-dated options, 0DTEs have extreme theta decay (value erodes fast throughout the day) and gamma risk (small underlying moves cause big delta changes). No overnight holding means no gap risk, but you must be right directionally and timed perfectly within hours. This demands precise entries, exits, and risk management.
These are high-risk trades: rapid losses (up to 100% of premium), gamma squeezes, volatility swings, and the potential for total wipeout in minutes. They're not suitable for beginners or anyone without a solid plan. Always know your max risk before entering—no trade is "safe."
Yes—this is an advanced course and only open to those who've completed my Options Crash Course. That foundation covers core options mechanics (calls/puts, Greeks, strategies, etc.), which is essential for safely handling 0DTE speed and complexity. Jumping in without it increases the chance of costly mistakes.
Live sessions begin at 10:30 AM EST. This timing works well for most U.S. time zones and accessible for many international students.
Yes—I'll cover how 0DTE options work in practice, high-probability setups that have been consistent for me, entry/exit rules, when to trade aggressively vs. sit out, and risk controls. The focus is on building a disciplined plan so you can trade them consistently (and know when to avoid them entirely).
No—this course is for educational purposes only. Nothing here is personalized financial, investment, or trading advice. Trading options (especially 0DTE) involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You are fully responsible for your own trades, decisions, and any financial outcomes. Past performance isn't indicative of future results—always do your own due diligence and consider consulting a qualified advisor.
If you're drawn to fast-paced, intraday opportunities and already have a strong options foundation, this can add a powerful tool to your toolkit. But if you're risk-averse, new to options, or prefer longer holds, stick to more conservative strategies. 0DTE rewards discipline and preparation—not luck.
The course tends to run 4 to 6 hours, depending on class participation, allowing for interactive discussions while covering the essentials without overwhelming you.
The course is live over Zoom, providing an interactive experience where you can ask questions in real time and engage with the material directly.
I'll share my personal approaches that have averaged a 90% win rate for me, but success depends on discipline and market conditions this is about learning to fish independently, taking what I've created and adapting it to fit your life and schedule; there are no guarantees in life, and you are responsible for your own decisions.
