You think moving your butterfly closer to the money gives you a better shot — but what if it's actually bleeding your account dry? In this episode, Coach Ernie breaks down the math behind why paying less for a better risk-to-reward is the real edge in 0-DTE trading. He walks through how to spot convexity in butterfly pricing — that moment when the cost drops off a cliff between strikes — and why chasing that drop instead of chasing proximity to the money is what separates consistent traders from the ones grinding sideways. What you'll learn: The 10% debit rule: why your butterfly should never cost more than 10% of the width — and why that's a ceiling, not a targetHow to read the price curve between strikes and find the "kink" where convexity livesWhy a cheaper fly further out can pay the same or more than an expensive one closer in — for 40% less capitalThe expected move trap: why trading inside the expected move limits your upside while exposing you to the same lossesReal examples from live 0-DTE SPX chains showing exactly how Coach filters and selects positionsHow this approach produces a Sharpe ratio of 4 with max drawdown under 6% and a 50/50 win rate Coach also shares takeaways from his recent keynote at TraderFest, hosted by Tradier and sponsored by Cboe, where he presented this exact framework to a room full of professional traders.
