Size Wrong, Die Fast — The Math That Keeps You Alive

from Zero Days To Expiration Hosted by Coach Ernie

Most 0DTE traders don't blow up because of a bad strategy—they blow up because of bad size. This week Coach breaks down where position size actually comes from: drawdown tolerance, risk of ruin, and the compounding math that rewards patience and punishes greed. If you've ever doubled up to "make it back," this episode is for you.
