On Market Measures, Nick, Bat, and Kai revisit 0DTE management by testing rolling strategies instead of simply closing positions. While rolling adds premium and helps reduce overall risk exposure, the impact on total P&L remains mixed, with only modest improvements over standard iron condor management.

The key finding is that rolling, especially on the call side, can improve risk metrics like drawdowns and recovery time, but it doesn’t consistently outperform unless paired with higher profit targets. Managing trades more actively requires adjusting expectations, as added premium comes with increased complexity and only incremental gains.
