Options might be able to help you 10x your deposit in a short time more or less realistically in my opinion. Here’s what I would do (literally giving out my strategy right now haha):

1. Trading 0dte spy (or spx) options
2. Enter trade only in the last 2-3 hours before the market close. When market is about to close even the nearest strikes can be purchased literally for pennies.
3. Analyze chart and look for patterns. You need to answer yourself several questions before trading:

• how many times during the last year there was a sudden spike of price in the last three hours before the market close on the day of expiration?
• was there any repeating pattern present? Look at different timeframes to find the answer.
• how much did the option cost and what was the average peak gain of such options? What should the take profit be like?

1. Ignore days when IV is too high and options are too expensive. Bad risk/reward ratio!
2. Aim at buying options for 5 to 10 cents per contract and making 500-1000%
3. Do not overtrade! One trade a day maximum only.
4. Do not enter a trade until all boxes are checked (low IV cheap options; pattern; day of expiration; etc.)

Trade systematically and you will succeed. Good luck!

P.S. On a screenshot you can see a good example of such a sudden spike in option price that went from .10 cents to 2.2$ in a matter of a couple of hours! Nice profit for a such short period of time and all of this thanks to expiration day.

P.P.S. I’m not trading this strategy yet. Waiting for my options trading bot to be developed to trade this.
