The cheapest 0DTE contracts by volume today all expired worthless. 233,077 contracts, seven names, zero survivors.

Sub-$0.50 contracts, 0–14 DTE, non-mega names, ranked by how many contracts actually traded. Mostly out of the money, mostly expiring worthless — that's the design, not a disclaimer.

# Today's scorecard, since posting a board without results is useless:

Seven of these expired today. 233,077 contracts traded across them. All seven finished at zero.

* \- MU closed 958.73, so every put died — and the 970 and 980 calls never got there either, high was 959.97.
* \- INTC printed 91.84 intraday and closed 89.51. The $90 call was in the money at one point and still expired at nothing.

The 3-day names — NIO, PCG, SPCX, T, NOK — resolve Thursday. I'll post those graded too, win or lose.

Not advice. If you trade these, the exit matters more than the entry: holding to expiry is what turns a winner into a zero.
