Quadruple Witching Day often brings heightened volatility as stock index futures, stock index options, stock options, and single stock futures all expire simultaneously. While 0DTE (zero days to expiration) options can offer quick profits from sharp price swings, they also carry high risks due to rapid time decay and unpredictable market moves. Experienced traders may exploit the volatility for short-term gains, but for long-term investors, it’s usually wiser to avoid the noise and focus on core holdings. Betting on 0DTE is essentially gambling — it’s high-stakes and not for the faint of heart. For most investors, sitting on the sidelines today might be the smarter play.

OTM 0DTE Options: How to Play the Stock Market "Lottery"?
In the recent market volatility, trading has become more challenging. Some investors are turning to out-of-the-money options with short expiration dates, betting on a sudden market reversal, such as yesterday's epic single-day surge. Out-of-the-money options can indeed be a good tool to make big profits with small investments, but they carry immense risks, with 90% of them resulting in losses—sometimes referred to as the stock market lottery. Have you ever traded out-of-the-money options? Do you like the stock market lottery? Feel free to share your experience!
