As expected, the opening IV has returned to normal today.

Ready to open a position for intraday trading.

10:04:26 $136.4900 => 10:21:19 $136.6100, SL$136.20, LONG.

The amplitude is relatively narrow.

Since the plan for today is mainly on 0DTE options,

I failed to notice the bottoming-out rebound opportunity at 09:43.

Chased the high, lost patience, and exited with a profit.

Summary:

1️⃣ Monday was a narrow-range oscillation.

Tuesday had a clear trend.

Today is another narrow-range oscillation.

When the opening IV of 0DTE options for $SPDR S&P 500(SPY.US) is not very high,

trading 0DTE options yields more than other stocks/ETFs.
