Overall, early profit management is key for zero-DTE trades to mitigate large losses. Check out the video for a more in-depth look at 0-DTE.
Using 20 years of SPY data, Tom Sosnoff and Tony Battista delve into the comparative risks and rewards of a variety of options strategies, including iron condors, strangles, and straddles. Defined-risk strategies like iron condors generally offer lower potential rewards and risks compared to undefined-risk strategies like strangles, which, despite their higher risk, can yield greater profits. Their analysis also contrasts the impact of strike distance on risk and returns, noting that wider iron condors and strangles typically provide higher potential profits.
