173: What the 0DTE Trend Spread Engine Is Already Revealing

In this episode, we review some early backtest results from AlphaCrunching.com's newly launched 0DTe Trend Spread Engine (TSE).

We're only 3 weeks into the stats but taking 0DTE trend spreads during the lunch hour at 12pm over the past 3 weeks has won 100% of the time. We're not expecting this type of performance to last forever but seeing this hot spots of high performance based on time of day entry is revealing some edge most traders are missing.

We would love you to join Alpha Crunching as we continue this build in public approach for SPX 0DTE Options Trading.
