What Are 0DTE Options?
0DTE stands for Zero Days to Expiration — these are options contracts that expire on the same day they’re created.
Popular on Wall Street, they offer high reward potential but are typically complex and risky.
ZEXPIRE simplifies the core concept and makes it available to everyone.
