this is my rule
holding 0DTE for 1 to 15min max is all you need for a 15% move to play out.
yes, 0DTE theta is real.
but nobody talks about what holding too long does to your brain.
every minute you're in a trade, your emotional capital depletes.
after 20 minutes watching every tick, you're not the same trader who entered. you're tired, you're attached, you're hoping. that's when you make bad decisions.
and here's what people don't realize — the most violent move off a level happens in the first 3 candles.
that's where the real money is. the sharp rejection. the panic. the stops getting hit.
by candle 5 the move is already slowing. by candle 10 it's consolidating or reversing.
i'm not leaving money on the table by exiting at 15%.
i'm taking the best part of the move and leaving the slow, risky, theta-eaten tail to everyone else
1–15 minutes isn't just about theta.
it's about staying mentally sharp for the next setup.
stick to 1:1 RR
get in. get out. and get ready for the next $SPY trade
