The smart way to sell covered calls
You've been selling covered calls for months, maybe even years. You've got your system down - pick strikes 5-10% out of the money, maybe follow the 45-day rule, collect premium, and repeat. It's working. You're generating steady income from your long-term holdings. But what if there was a way to get even better at it? Here's what most covered call sellers don't realize: the options market is constantly revealing where profit-taking pressure naturally occurs. While you're focusing on time...

Resending: The Essential Guide to 0DTE Options
"Is 0DTE trading just legalized gambling?" I can't tell you how many times I've heard that question from both skeptical traders and curious newcomers. The explosion of same day expiration options (aka 0DTE) options trading has created equal parts opportunity and confusion. And it's no wonder why. When you're dealing with contracts that can swing 100% in minutes and expire worthless the same day they're traded, the line between strategic trading and pure speculation starts to blur. But here's...

What you likely encountered was a...

Here's a video walkthrough of today's content if you'd prefer watching rather than reading: You've mastered support and resistance, moving averages, maybe even Fibonacci levels. But have you ever wondered why the price seems to stall or reverse at levels that don't show up anywhere on your charts?

The only three zones you need to master SPX 0DTE (& swing) trading
You see a clean breakout above resistance, confidently enter the trade, and immediately get chopped to pieces as price bounces around like a pinball. Sound familiar? Here's what's happening: You're still trading like 2015, using traditional technical analysis while the market fundamentally changes. Today's markets are increasingly driven by options structure, not those support and resistance lines you learned about years ago. The Reality Check- You're drawing trend lines and watching moving...
Who's really on the other side of your options trades?
Before progressing further into the GammaEdge methodology and tools, we need to understand a critical component of modern markets: the Market Makers and Dealers who operate behind the scenes. Think of them as the plumbing in your house - essential to how everything functions, but invisible in daily life. Without them, markets would be inefficient, illiquid, and prone to massive price gaps. Yet paradoxically, their very actions in managing risk can amplify market movements, creating...
