Scalping SPY and QQQ with 0DTE Straddles and Strangles
Short 0DTE straddles and strangles win 60–70% of the time, but when they go wrong, they go wrong fast. One big move can erase a week’s worth of careful trades. Long straddles need 1.5–2x the entry cost in movement just to break even, so they’re a bet on volatility showing up. The best setups usually happen in the first 1–2 hours, while midday tends to lull traders into a false sense of security before the final 30 minutes crank up gamma risk and chaos. Smart traders lock in profits at 20–30% and cut losses at 50%—hesitation turns winners into losers real quick. Execution speed is everything; if you’re slow on the trigger, the market won’t wait for you.
