Weekly Recap SPX 0DTE Option Trading Highlights

It was another profitable week for us at SPX Option Trader! We ended this past week with +99% ROI in our SPX Daily Outlook, +95% ROI in our SPY Daily Outlook, +88% ROI in our SPX Aggressive trader, +85% ROI in our SPY Aggressive trader, +124% ROI in our Late Day Trader and +39% ROM in our SPX Spread Trader. We only traded 3 days in our Outlook due to the FOMC meeting and overall market conditions.

While the volatility in the market continues, option prices—though still high–came down enough to allow us to trade this week. We were able to profit nicely this week. Another reminder that we never force a trade, the goal is to make a profit over the longer term, even if that means not trading on certain days. Below are our comments for each day of this past week. We look forward to another exciting week ahead, day trading SPX and SPY 0DTE options.

Daily Outlook

We forecast an up day in the market and entered our positions before 9:35 a.m. Today was a “High Volatility Trade” which means the trade is higher risk and we use our adjusted guidelines as discussed on the website. It was another fast trade today, as High Volatility trades often are. As the market quickly ran in our forecast direction we adjusted our trailing stop. As we hit over +85% in our option position we were using about a 15% trailing stop. As it pulled back, we exited our positions just after 9:45 a.m. for +75% in SPX and +69% in SPY. Another fast and profitable day! We look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Aggressive Trader

We forecast an up day in the market and entered our positions before 9:35 a.m. We exited our positions just before 9:50 a.m. for +55% in SPX and +51% in SPY. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Spread Trader

We held our SPX Spread Trader position to the close for +37% ROM. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Late Day Trader

Just before 1:20 p.m. we entered a call option trade. The market went in our direction and then stalled near the 3^rd target level of 5675 in SPX. Our option hit nearly +130%. We were using about a 25% trailing stop as well as watching that target level. As it started to pull back, we exited our position at 1:45 p.m. for a nice +103% profit. Given the volatility of the day, we weren’t willing to risk any further at this point in the day. So, a nice profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!
