![The Truth About 0DTE: Where the Edge Really Comes From
*JOIN MY MASTERCLASS [FREE]:* https://options-insight.com/free-masterclass
What really drives returns in 0DTE options trading — and is simply selling volatility actually the edge?
In this episode of **Trader Chats**, 20-year institutional options veteran Imran Lakha sits down with Mark Anderson of MBH Capital Management to explore systematic 0DTE trading.
Mark explains why he views 0DTE as a collection of **risk premia rather than a single “edge”**, breaking down the role of variance risk premium (VRP), direction, Path, wing costs, execution and correlation in driving returns.
