My 0DTE journey so far — up $41k this week and aiming for $1M


Thought I’d share my progress so far with 0DTE trading. I’ve been working on this seriously for a while now — studying price action, focusing on clean entries, and trying to stay disciplined. It hasn’t been an overnight thing, and I’ve had plenty of setbacks, but this is the first time I’ve felt like my process is finally paying off.

This past week was my strongest yet:

Weekly P/L:

+ $41,873.95

Some trades from the week:

  • SPY 653C (11/21) – +$3,440
  • SPY 666C (11/24) – +$6,330
  • SPY 669C (11/25) – +$13,020
  • SPY 679C (11/26) – +$8,230
  • SPXW 6835C (11/28) – +$17,950

I trade mostly SPY/SPX 0DTE calls based on structure, liquidity zones, and intraday momentum. My main improvement this year has been controlling risk, trading only on the days I’m available (Mon/Wed/Fri), and stopping once I hit goal instead of overtrading.

Account movement this week:

My account climbed to around $34,857 from being down a bit earlier in the week. This is the biggest growth curve I’ve seen since I started trading options.

The bigger picture:

My long-term goal is to grow this into a $1M account through consistent 0DTE trading. I know the risks, and I’m not pretending this is easy or safe — but I’m documenting the journey and trying to stay as disciplined as possible.

Sharing this mainly for transparency and for anyone else grinding through learning price action. I’ll keep updating as I continue the push toward that seven-figure milestone.

Screenshots attached for the numbers.
