201: SPX 0DTE Is Changing: New Expirations, 24-Hour Trading

SPX 0DTE options trading continues to grow, and Cboe recently announced some interesting developments that could change how we trade SPX options in the future.

In this week's Stock Market Options Trading podcast, we're looking at the potential addition of new AM-settled SPX weekly options, the continued expansion of global trading hours, and what all of this could mean for retail traders.

Could we eventually see SPX options trading 24 hours a day, five days a week? And how will our charting, backtesting, and gamma analysis tools adapt?

We also take a look at the SPX market heading into the week of October 12, including key gamma levels, the 7900 call wall, volatility, and upcoming CPI and PPI inflation reports.

At Alpha Crunching, we're continuing to develop and trade systematic SPX 0DTE strategies, including mechanical end-of-day trades that can be executed manually or through automation with PeakBot.
