## Caption

The jade lizard is one of the most elegant structures in options trading. This episode tests what happens when you push it to the extreme — zero days to expiration on SPX.

Mike and Jamal break down three years of 0DTE SPX data comparing different profit targets, spread widths, and entry timing. The finding that stands out: closing at 50 to 75% of max profit consistently beats no management, and the reason is simple — the last hour of the trading day is where things go wrong. The sweet spot is around 2PM CT.

They also cover why holding a jade lizard overnight with a low profit target is a setup for trouble, and why the 0DTE version becomes especially relevant now that the PDT rule is gone on June 4.
