You have a big week ahead.
You’ll want that chin strap buckled and a clear view of what’s coming your way.
But before you set your sights on the next trade, let’s back up a minute.
On Friday, the jobs report came out.
At first glance, it looked like a win for the bulls: 139,000 new jobs added in May, with unemployment holding steady at 4.2%.
Solid, right?
Not so fast.
Earlier in the week, ADP released data that told a different story.
That tension — contradictory reports on the same underlying factor — makes traders hyper-focused on the next data point heading down the pike.
It’s coming your way fast. Get caught snoozing on the bench and you’re left with one less opportunity to score.
So set your sights on this.
All Eyes on CPI
This Wednesday morning, we’ll get the Consumer Price Index data for May.
And that’s where things could get volatile … fast.
If there’s one report that can flip this market on its head, it’s CPI.
Inflation has been sticky enough to keep the Fed from declaring victory.
The Street is pricing in Fed cuts later this year, but those bets depend entirely on inflation cooling off.
If the latest numbers come in hot, the key is to understand how the market reacts.
We’re in a “data-dependent” environment, meaning every number moves the needle.
And if you’re holding trades into a major report like this, you better have a plan.
Zero-Day Options: A Tactical Weapon
Now, let’s talk about something I’m very excited to break down more later this week: zero-day options, or 0DTEs.
These are options contracts that expire the same day you trade them.
They’ve exploded in popularity over the past year, and for good reason.
With the right setup, they offer a shot at fast, outsized gains.
We’re talking about moves that can triple or more in a matter of hours.
But 0DTEs are not for gamblers.
They require discipline, precision, and timing.
Most traders lose because they treat them like lottery tickets.
That’s not what we do.
Later this week, I’ll walk you through how to use zero-day options to supplement and enhance your existing strategy.
Think of it as a tactical weapon.
Something you deploy when the market sets up just right — like around major news events (hello, CPI …).
So if you’ve been curious about how the pros trade these, or you’re ready to add a new tool to your kit, we’re going deep into it.
Meanwhile, Proceed With Caution
The market’s at a crossroads.
Strong jobs numbers on Friday, conflicting data earlier in the week, and a monster inflation print on deck this week.
If you’ve been coasting, now’s the time to tighten up your strategy.
Trim the noise, stick to the setups you trust, and keep your position sizes in check heading into Wednesday.
And if you’re ready to learn how to put 0DTEs to work — without blowing up your account — I’ll have a full breakdown ready for you in just a few days.
Stay sharp,
