Most Traders Get 0DTE SPX Options Wrong — I Check This Before Every Trade

Welcome back to the 0DTE Live Trade Review. Three days a week I sit down and walk through real, defined-risk out-of-the-money (OTM) butterfly trades on SPX — no predictions, no hype. Real, not hype. If you're new here, the strategy is given away in the open. We position, we survive, we compound — and we know exactly why.

That's where the account starts bleeding. An entry isn't a feeling — it's a structured event you can define, recognize, and journal. We call it the Tradable Event, and it has to clear four gates before a single fly goes on: the trend, the level, the continuation, and the window. Miss one and there is no trade. Today I show you the exact checklist I run before every entry — and why "no event, no trade" is the most profitable habit you'll ever build. 📊 The review — [FILL AFTER THE CLOSE] Every session since the last report, exactly as it printed — the reads and the trades, no dressing it up.
