Questions, answered plainly.

What is 0DTE futures trading?
0DTE futures trading refers to executing trades within the same session, focusing on short-term volatility and precision timing. It requires structured trade plans, risk control, and real-time orderflow confirmation.
How does orderflow analysis improve futures trading?
Orderflow analysis reveals real executed buying and selling pressure using volume and delta data. This helps traders identify imbalances, exhaustion, and high-probability trade locations in ES and NQ futures.
What is cluster delta in orderflow trading?
Cluster delta measures the difference between aggressive buyers and sellers at specific price levels. It helps confirm strength, weakness, and potential reversals within intraday futures setups.
What exactly is the daily trade plan?
A written plan for the ES session, published before the open. It names the bias, the levels that matter, the highest-probability setup with its trigger, target and invalidation, a second option, a conditional trade, and what to avoid. It is a map of where decisions happen, not an instruction to buy or sell.
What does it cost?
The daily plan is free, and so is the archive of every plan published since January 2026. The ATAS indicators and templates are one-time purchases.
Are these signals or alerts?
No. Nothing here tells you when to click. There are no entry alerts, no copy-trading and no managed accounts. The plan shows where the market is likely to make a decision; what you do there is yours.
How are the plans scored afterwards?
A plan counts as triggered only when price reached the setup's level and a 15-minute bar closed beyond it, which is what the plan asks for. From there, reaching the first target before the invalidation is a hit and the reverse is a miss. Days where the setup never confirmed are counted separately as no trade. The counts, the method and its limits are published on the plan archive.
Is that a track record?
No. The scoring ignores fills, fees, position size and every judgement made in the moment, it can only see 15-minute bars, and some older plans are written in a form the measurement cannot read. It is published because saying nothing about how the plans turned out would be worse.
Do I need ATAS to use the plan?
No. The plan is written in plain price levels and works on any platform. The indicators and footprint templates sold here are built for ATAS, which is what the levels are drawn on.
Which instruments do you cover?
The daily plan is ES, the E-mini S&P 500 future — that is what we trade every session and where our data is deepest. We also watch NQ, GC, SPY and SPX, which turn up in the research and in the room when they matter, with less data behind them and less often. That may widen over time.
Where do the research numbers come from?
From recorded ES sessions, re-measured from our own data rather than quoted from elsewhere. Each study publishes its sample, its window and what it does not show.
Is this financial advice?
No. Everything here is educational. Futures trading carries a substantial risk of loss, and nothing on this site accounts for your circumstances. Questions and corrections: contact@zerodaytrades.com.
