I’m $1,081 away from a six-figure year. And I already know the exact way I’m going to blow it if I’m not careful. $98,918 in realized options profit so far, mostly $SPY 0DTE. October added $13,710 of it. The temptation in November is obvious: size up a little, take the setup that’s almost there, and force the last thousand so the screenshot looks better. That’s how you give back four months to chase one round number. The market doesn’t know about $100,000. It isn’t a level. Nothing happens there. November plan is identical to October:
• Wait for the level
• Take the 30–60 cent move
• Hold for 1–20 minutes
• Skip the days that don’t offer anything 0DTE in the morning, 3DTE in the afternoon. If that gets me past it, fine. If it doesn’t, the process was still right. Round numbers are the most expensive thing on a trading screen and they aren’t even on the chart. They’re in your head. Protect your mindset. Protect your account. 💙

Everyone assumes 3DTE means I'm holding for three days. I'm not. Not three days.
Not two.
Not overnight. Just the same hold as 0DTE. 1 to 20 minutes. The 3DTE is a vehicle, not a holding period. The first two hours are where SPY actually moves. A thesis resolves in minutes. That's what a 0DTE is built for. The afternoon is a different market. Moves still happen. They just stop resolving cleanly. Price drifts. Fakes. Comes back to where it started. You can be right about direction. And still watch a 0DTE bleed out while you wait to be proven right. So I keep the trade and change the contract. • Same levels
• Same $0.30–$0.60 move
• Same thesis
• Same hold time The 3DTE just doesn't punish me for the market taking its time. It's a risk decision, not a conviction one. I'm not more confident in the afternoon. I'm less willing to let a slow tape decide a trade that was right. Treat it as a swing trade and you've broken the rule. Those extra days aren't an invitation to hold. They let me sit through a sideways hour without getting knocked out of a trade that was going to work. The zones tell me what to trade. The clock tells me which contract to trade it with. I use this method everyday for $SPY.

$SPY Options 0DTE $10K Challenge You can have a great trading strategy and still find ways to mess it up. You chase an entry because you're impatient. You ignore your stop because you hate being wrong. You exit too early because you're afraid of losing what you've gained. The setup wasn't necessarily the problem. Sometimes the hardest part of trading is getting out of your own way. 1 W / 1 L today : 2 max trades This month: +$1,383.74❤️

$SPY Options 0DTE $10K Challenge Everyone wants better trading results. Fewer people are willing to change the habits behind them. Waiting instead of chasing. Adjusting instead of making excuses. Following the plan when nobody is watching. Staying consistent when progress feels slow. If you want different results, something in your behavior has to become different first.
