Are 0DTE Traders Ruining Stocks?

: Ryan Mallory; 27 February 2023

0DTE Traders, which stands for "Zero days to expiration" are wrecking havoc on the stock market

ODTE trading is creating constant market reversals and wild swings. Is this a new phenomenon that could lead to a major crash in the stock market?

Another Stock Market Crash?

: Ryan Mallory; 21 February 2023

After an epic rally in January and much of February, the last three days has seen stocks reverse the gains and trade in negative territory.

In this video I'm going to provide my technical analysis on whether this is just a short-term pullback, or the continuation of the stock market crash that started last year. I provide analysis on the SPY ETF, QQQ and IWM ETFs, as well as technical analysis on the bond yields and the VIX indicator.

Trading Block: February 22, 2023

Trading Strategy:

Trading Notes: Some slight weakness heading into today, that was quickly reversed on comments from the Fed's Bullard who thinks the risk of recession is overpriced (which honestly is laughable). That sets the theme for today, and once regular trading hours commence, it'll be interesting to see whether this is an action that is quickly faded or does it become a launchpad for higher prices? There's also the FOMC Minutes that comes out at 2pm today that can create some serious risk to the markets as we essentially learn what the Fed was thinking two weeks ago. In all, I am expecting a quiet day for me from a trading activity standpoint, as I let the current two positions play out.
