Most blown 0DTE accounts have one thing in common: impulse entries before 9:50 AM. Your whole $SPX trading window today is 100 minutes, 9:50 to 11:30 AM ET. Same index. Same strike. Two clocks, two results. The leak isn't your strike. It isn't your stop. It's your clock. Here's the full breakdown 👇 The three times that run your morning: → 9:30 to 9:50 AM ET: no entry, only watch the first 20 minutes. → 9:50 AM: entries open, once price picks a side. → 11:30 AM: anything still open gets closed, win or lose. → After 11:30 AM: lunch chop, price drifts and your option keeps leaking. What 100 flat minutes cost one call: → Theta = the value an option loses every hour. → One 7,670 call with SPX flat is worth $1,785 at 9:50 AM. → The same call with SPX still flat is worth $1,327 at 11:30 AM. → That is $458 gone with zero movement. Where to aim inside today's box: → Priced move today is 93.4 points either way from 7,623.68. → Priced range is 7,530 to 7,717. → Modeled floor is 7,575, and modeled ceiling is 7,670. → Halfway lines sit at 7,577 and 7,670. 93.4 / 2 = 46.7 points, and 7,623.68 + 46.7 = 7,670. What to do tomorrow morning: 1. From 9:30 to 9:50 AM, mark 7,577 and 7,670, and enter nothing. 2. From 9:50 AM, aim each trade at 7,670 or 7,577, never past 7,717 or 7,530. 3. At 11:30 AM, close everything, even a flat call already below $1,785. Wait 20 minutes, trade 100, then close the app. Every number above comes out of one line: the VIX divided by 15.87. It is called The 15.87 Rule. It shows what the clock costs after 11:30, and why the window closes when it does. 16 pages, free download. Click the link below or in my bio.
