The 3-step pre-trade framework I run before every SPX 0DTE entry.

What is in the framework

Five things, in the order the desk checks them.

• The 10-minute 8 EMA trigger. Why this specific timeframe filters out the fakeouts that destroy 5-minute traders, and exactly how to read a valid signal vs. noise.
• Supply and demand levels (not support/resistance). How to identify the institutional order-flow zones where high-probability setups form.
• The VIX divergence warning. The one metric most 0DTE traders ignore that eliminates the majority of losing trades.
• The convergence setup. What happens when price reclaims a supply/demand level and the 8 EMA simultaneously. This is the specific entry structure KASM takes every day.
• Watch it live every morning. This is not a PDF that sits in your downloads folder. KASM runs this framework live at 8:30 AM ET inside the Alpha Pod Discord, with real entries, real exits and a full trade log.
