Scaling a strategy before becoming too big to start causing issues
I trade exclusively SPX 0dte, I think I have a legit working and mathematically sound strategy, (I know I know, que the eye rolls and snarky remarks, I get it.) I’m not on here trying to sell anybody anything or to give out my “tips” to some holy grail strategy. …
Would anyone actually use a SPY 0DTE-specific backtesting platform?
I’ve been working on a project for SPY 0DTE traders and wanted some honest feedback before I invest more time and money into it. The idea is a backtesting platform focused specifically on SPY 0DTE options. Instead of general stock backtesting, it would let traders test entry conditions like RSI, …

QQQ Skew Has Flipped
One thing that caught my attention going into next week is how much the QQQ skew has changed. A week ago, calls were still trading richer than puts. Even after the rally, people were willing to pay up for more upside exposure and call skew remained intact. That's no longer …

Is selling deep OTM MU puts a decent play?
Yesterday I saw 12/18/2026 440 MU put selling for $32. If you consider the minimum collateral required, it seems like a decent return. It seems pretty unlikely for the stock to drop to 440 by end of year, especially considering that MU says they are sold out into 2027, so …

Trying to understand protective puts
So I have some OTM protective puts for my long positions I have on SMH. When the market dumped today, the puts helped, but not to the extent that I expected. The pic attached is the stress test for end of day June 4 on top, and actual results on …
