Описание: 0DTE position sizing and risk management system. This is video 4 in the "How to Profit from 0DTE Options Using Volume Profile" series (intermediate level). Learn why 0DTE requires different position sizing than multi-day options (binary outcomes, accelerated decay, no recovery time), the exact formula for calculating contract quantity (risk dollars ÷ risk per contract), complete stop loss system for 0DTE (price-based, percentage-based, time-based stops), daily and weekly loss limits that prevent catastrophic drawdowns, and complete risk management framework. This is capital preservation and survival.

Why 0DTE sizing is different: (1) Binary outcomes - options worth something or zero at 4 PM, no tomorrow for recovery. (2) Accelerated theta decay - final 90 minutes lose 15-25% per hour vs 2-3% for weekly options. (3) Volatility compression - same $0.50 move gives wildly different returns based on time remaining. (4) No recovery time - wrong at 3:30 PM means 30 minutes to recover vs 6 days with weekly options. Result: Must risk LESS per trade (0.5-1.5% vs standard 1-2%).
Position sizing formula: Step 1: Account size × Risk% = Risk dollars. Step 2: Identify entry price. Step 3: Determine stop loss (40-60% loss recommended). Step 4: Risk dollars ÷ Risk per contract = Maximum contracts (round down). Step 5: Verify total premium paid. Example: $25,000 account, 1% risk = $250. Entry $0.80, stop at $0.40 (50% loss) = $0.40 risk per contract. $250 ÷ $40 = 6.25 → 6 contracts maximum.
Complete example: $50,000 account, 1% risk = $500. Entry 450 calls at $0.70, stop at 50% = $0.35 remaining = $0.35 ($35) risk per contract. $500 ÷ $35 = 14.28 → 14 contracts. Total premium $980. Actual risk $490. If calls drop to $0.35 exit for planned $490 loss. If reach $1.40 (100% gain) exit for $980 profit (2:1 reward).
Three-stop system (use all three): Stop 1 (Primary) - Price-based: Exit if underlying breaks invalidation level (e.g., SPY 449.10 breaks support). Stop 2 (Secondary) - Percentage-based: Exit at 40-60% loss regardless of underlying price. Stop 3 (Final) - Time-based: Exit by 3:30 PM regardless of P&L (final 30 minutes too unpredictable). Whichever stop hits first, exit immediately. No hesitation, no waiting for bounce.
Daily loss limits: Conservative 1.5%, Moderate 2%, Aggressive 3% of account. NEVER exceed 3% daily loss. Example: $50,000 account with 2% daily limit = $1,000. After losing $1,000 in day (whether 2 trades or 5), STOP trading, close platform, walk away. Prevents revenge trading spiral that turns -2% day into -8% day. One bad day without limit can destroy months of progress.
Weekly loss limits: Conservative 3%, Moderate 5%, Aggressive 7% of account. NEVER exceed 7% weekly loss. Prevents compounding bad weeks. Example: Lost 2% Mon, 2% Tue, 2% Wed = 6% week. With 5% weekly limit, stop trading rest of week after 5% loss Wednesday. Preserves capital, prevents 10%+ weekly drawdowns that require 11%+ gains to recover.
