Your best trade of the week is worth reviewing.

So is the identical setup you skipped on Tuesday.

Did the chart change, or did your confidence change?

Another trader can help you spot the difference.

0DTE strike selection:

ATM: high gamma sensitivity near expiry.
OTM: less upfront cost, more distance to cover.
ITM: higher delta, more upfront capital.

Compare spread, liquidity and extrinsic value too.

Pick exposure for the setup, not the cheapest price tag.

What's the one mistake you repeated this week?

Not your worst loss.
The decision you keep making even though you know better.

That's the conversation to bring into your weekend trade review.

Long 0DTE after lunch:

Direction alone isn't enough.
The move has to arrive fast enough to overcome decay and your entry cost.

Define the price invalidation AND the time limit before buying.

“Eventually right” can still expire worthless.

Failed upside breakout checklist:

Break above resistance.
No sustained acceptance.
Re-entry into the range.
Failed reclaim from below.

Invalidation: above the failed high.
Targets: nearby support, then the far edge if rotation develops.

Don't short the first wick blindly.
