Hello!
Today’s Orbit is a late day one in that in it we do a demonstration throughout the trading day of 0DTE SPX credit spread trading and decision-making, especially around trade management and potential risk/reward inputs, on a volatile Fed day.
FOMC days are notoriously volatile so that’s why it was chosen as a demo. Many credit spread traders avoid days like this but in this case it allows us to demo amidst rapid market swings. The video ends with the SPX in the middle of both spreads (both out of the money and mark-to-market profitable) and was published before the last hour of trading. It turned out to be a good ending for taking profits as the market sold off below the lower wing into the close.
Hopefully this is helpful for those trading in this style as we dive into some of the things to look from a risk/reward standpoint and taking profits vs letting trades continue during periods of volatility. Hope you enjoy!
