Market Measures - May 11, 2026 - 0DTE Breakdown - 0DTE Put Spreads vs Iron Condors
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
On Market Measure, Bat, Ryan, and Kai break down 0DTE put spreads and compare them directly with classic iron condors. Kai shows that put spreads can be profitable long-term, especially when managed around a 25% profit target, but they carry a different risk profile and depend more on market direction.
The biggest advantage is speed: put spreads often hit profit targets much faster than iron condors, sometimes within the first hour. While iron condors may offer better balance and more premium, put spreads can be useful when traders have a bullish lean and want a quicker, one-sided setup.
