One viewer cautioned that "This is a good explanation of the basics however don't be fooled. It is much much more important to have a very solid risk management strategy, especially with 0DTE as the market will absolutely move against your positions more often that you can imagine and you will have very little time to react. You must know what to do in case your positions are attacked BEFORE you open them."

Another pointed out that "Credit spreads are good but you need to get direction right… Good luck with that, the way the market has been moving… I do a zero day iron fly. Let price drop early then buy back the call. Market pushes back up then close out the whole thing. Or in reverse if it goes up first. We have volatility so take advantage of it. If you do a credit spread, make sure you take profits on it before price reverses.. Also keep pattern day trading rules in mind if you are under 25k."
