Most traders think 0DTE is about predicting the next move. Professional traders know it's about probabilities, preparation, and managing risk. In this in-depth interview, Gery Nagy sits down with professional options trader Chris Pulver to break down the complete workflow behind his SPX 0DTE trading strategy. Chris explains how he prepares before the opening bell, how he combines Iron Condors, Broken Wing Butterflies, and Pinning Butterflies, and why flexibility is far more important than trying to predict direction. You'll also get a live walkthrough of how Chris uses TanukiTrade's GEX analytics, Expected Move tools, Smart Range, HVL, and Replay to identify high-probability trading opportunities. Whether you're new to 0DTE options or already trading SPX every day, this conversation provides valuable insight into how experienced traders build repeatable processes instead of relying on predictions. ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Intro 00:21 Introduction & disclaimer 02:02 Chris Pulver's trading journey 07:38 Common misconceptions about 0DTE trading 09:43 Chris' daily pre-market routine 13:42 Using TanukiTrade Expected Move tools 18:27 Why Iron Condors are the foundation of Chris' 0DTE strategy 20:20 Pinning Butterflies explained 21:56 Live GEX Replay: SPX 7500 pinning example (June 30) 27:20 Profit targets for Pinning Butterflies 29:22 When to open Pinning Butterflies 31:22 Minimum reward-to-risk requirements 33:35 Combining Iron Condors with Pinning Butterflies 35:26 Using Broken Wing Butterflies as defense 43:33 Positive Gamma vs. Negative Gamma environments 45:38 When Chris avoids trading 0DTE altogether 46:47 The biggest mistakes new 0DTE traders make 49:04 Chris' trading philosophy 50:01 Where to follow Chris 51:18 Outro 🔍 What's covered in this video: 👉 Why most traders misunderstand 0DTE trading 👉 Building a professional pre-market routine 👉 Using Expected Move, Smart Range and HVL together 👉 How Chris structures Iron Condors 👉 Using Broken Wing Butterflies for defensive positioning 👉 Finding high-probability Pinning Butterfly opportunities 👉 Reading GEX Replay to identify institutional positioning 👉 Managing risk without predicting direction 👉 Position sizing and reward-to-risk expectations 👉 Building a repeatable 0DTE trading process 🧠 Key takeaway: The best 0DTE traders don't try to predict every move.
