Check with your broker what is required to get level 3

• Level 1 – Covered Calls and Cash secured Puts
• Level 2 – Long options, buying Calls and Outs
• Level 3 – Options spreads
• Level 4 – Naked Calls and Puts

Assets Traded

We trade intra-weekly options on the SPX  and NDX indexes and the micro S&P index XSP. We also trade options on the E-mini S&P futures /ES, if you want to trade futures, most platforms require that you have a futures account, so you will need to set this up with your broker.

Options 101

I offer a basic strategy course here; the course is specific to strategy and methods. You need a basic understanding of options to use the service, specifically how spread works.

• Make sure you understand the difference between credit and debit spreads.
• We use a multi-leg strategy called the Butterfly, and on rare occasions, we use variations of the Butterfly, like the Broken Wing Fly and the Unbalanced Fly. 

No Trade Alerts

Trade are no alerts or alerts channel; this is a coaching and mentoring service. However, in every trading session, the coach will discuss a potential trade, and if he takes the trade, he will share his analysis and fills. This discussion always occurs in the #0-dte-talk channel, and the coach will alert everyone by addressing the post to “@everyone”.

• Analysis and fills are announced to @everyone in either the ##0-dte-talk channel on the Discord server.
• The Discord app is available on Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac OS; install it on all your devices to receive notifications.
• Screenshots of the trade fill and the state of the reference account are posted in the #0-dte-talk channel.

Support Services

All support is provided by Ernie Varitimos (aka Coach). You can reach him in real time or by sending a message. You will receive an answer as soon as he can get back to you, usually right away, but hardly ever more than a couple of hours. If he doesn’t get back to you, send him a private text message through Discord or to his mobile, make sure to tell him your name and that you are a member.

• On Discord he is @traderoffutures
• Email: ecoach@3.86.217.229
• Mobile: 508-446-0517

Mentoring and Coaching

Every person is entitled to personalized attention. If the question or need concerns the service, strategy, or method, please address it to @traderoffutures (the coach’s handle) on the Discord #0-dte-talk channel. This way, all members can benefit from the answer from the Coach.

Every trading day, a live meeting is held between 10:30 AM Eastern and noon. The meeting is to discuss trading opportunities and review aspects of the strategy, process, and methods. This is a fully interactive meeting; all are invited to attend and participate in the discussion.

And at the end of the week, there’s the Sunday 9 PM Eastern time meeting we call the Retrospective.

The links for these meetings can be found in the #0-dte-meetings channel.
