This 1-Hour Trading Window Changed Everything for Me
If you’ve ever felt like you’re one trade away from turning the corner, this might be it.
I’m about to introduce you to a strategy that—when used correctly—can create consistent, predictable income in as little as one hour a day.
It’s called the Zero DTE Opening Candle Strategy, and I believe it’s one of the most powerful systems I’ve ever taught.
📈 Backtested win rate: 81%
📉 Defined risk
🕒 One trade per day
✅ Simple rules anyone can follow
Sound good? It gets better…
But I’m not going to give everything away in this article.
Because I just released a video where I show you exactly how it works, break down seven real trades, and reveal how you can start using this right away—even with a small account.
So consider this your sneak peek.
What Is Zero DTE?
Let’s start with the basics.
Zero DTE (zero days to expiration) refers to options that expire today.
That might sound risky—but when you apply the right filters and structure, it becomes a powerful advantage.
In fact, what makes this strategy unique is that it uses the first hour of the market to decide what to do.
We’re not trading all day.
We’re not staring at charts.
We’re not guessing.
We’re reading the opening candle, making one high-probability decision, and then walking away.
Sound too simple?
Good. That means you’re starting to get it.
Why the First Hour?
The first hour of the trading day is where the truth shows up.
It’s where market makers, institutions, and algorithms make their first move—and if you know how to read it, you can spot a powerful directional bias.
I’ve spent decades testing setups, but the 10:30 AM signal I share in the video is the most consistent thing I’ve found.
Here’s the bottom line:
One candle. One decision. One trade.
And when you add the improvements I teach in the video… the edge becomes crystal clear.
What You’ll Learn in the Video
I walk you through the entire setup, including:
The concept behind the strategy (and why the first hour matters so much)
My 5 biggest improvements that changed everything
The mistake most traders never see coming (until it wrecks them)
A rule I follow that’s almost guaranteed to prevent disaster
How I turned what looked like losing trades into clean wins
Real trades. Real results. No cherry-picking.
One of the biggest questions I get is:
“Can I do this if I have a small account?”
Yes.
Inside the video, I share how to adjust the strategy for accounts under $25K and still follow the same plan. You’ll see how to handle the PDT rule and why this strategy works with as little as three trades per week.
Watch the video now—and great news: we just hit 1,000 likes!
That means I’m going live on YouTube on the 25th.
Hope to see you there!
Why Most Traders Blow It
Look, I’ve been trading for over 30 years. And if there’s one lesson that took me way too long to learn, it’s this:
A great strategy will fail without great risk management.
In the video, I don’t just show you the setup—I walk through the money rules that keep your account safe:
2% max risk
One trade per day
Why closing early locks in more winners
And the math behind small wins compounding into something life-changing
If you’re chasing home runs, this isn’t for you.
But if you’re serious about growing your account slowly, safely, and with confidence…
This video will open your eyes to what’s possible.
Why I’m Not Giving You Everything Here
I could’ve dropped the full rules in this post.
But I won’t.
Why?
Because trading isn’t about reading a paragraph and pressing “buy.”
It’s about seeing how it works, understanding the context, and learning the how and why behind each move.
In the video, I walk you through everything—visually, step by step.
You’ll see the charts.
You’ll see the entry logic.
You’ll watch how I handled real trades—some of which looked like losers at first.
And I’ll even show you how to get a free guide that walks through the core strategy in even more detail.
Final Thought
You don’t need to trade all day.
You don’t need to chase dozens of alerts.
And you don’t need to risk your entire account to grow.
One hour a day. One trade. Defined risk.
It’s not glamorous.
But it works.
And I’ll show you exactly how in the video.
