S&P 500 Index Options (SPX Weeklys/0DTE).
Vertical Credit Spreads (Out-of-the-Money).
Hands-free execution; disciplined 2:1 Risk/Reward ratio.
This is an income-focused strategy centered on selling 0DTE (Zero Days to Expiration) options premium. By entering the trade during the Opening Range, we capitalize on peak volatility and time decay (Theta). This is a passive exit strategy: once the trade is entered, it is held until the market close for cash settlement.
Optimal entry occurs between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM ET to capture peak volatility; all trade executions must be completed no later than 1:00 PM ET.
Use intraday charts and a Delta Filter to identify high-probability OTM (Out-of-the-Money) strikes.
Maximum of one trade per day.
No trading on market half-days. Fed/FOMC days are acceptable.
Positions are held until expiration; no intraday stop-losses or profit-taking orders are used.
All positions settle to cash at 4:00 PM ET.

SPX closes outside the short strike. Contracts expire worthless; you keep 100% of the premium.
SPX closes beyond the long strike. The loss is capped at the spread width minus the credit collected.
SPX closes between strikes. The account is debited based on the final settlement price.
Profits should be reinvested to allow for scaling of contract sizes based on the selected R-Model.
Strategy success depends on the law of large numbers; maintain a hands-off approach and allow all trades to reach the 4:00 PM cash settlement without manual interference.
