Stocks With 0DTE Options in 2026: Complete List (SPY, QQQ, SPX, NVDA + More)

Which Stocks Have 0DTE Options in 2026?

Six products have daily 0DTE options that expire every trading day — SPX, SPY, XSP, NDX, QQQ, and IWM. Dozens more have 0DTE on Mon/Wed/Fri — including NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, GLD, and IBIT — and the most liquid single stocks (AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, AMZN, META) add Tuesday and Thursday expirations in 2026. The full breakdown by expiration cadence is below.

What Counts as a "0DTE Option"?

A 0DTE ("zero days to expiration") option is any listed contract expiring on the same trading day you are holding it. That means the universe of 0DTE-eligible tickers is not a fixed list — it depends on which tickers have expirations scheduled that day.

Only a handful of products expire every trading day. Most 0DTE-eligible tickers expire on specific weekday schedules. This guide breaks down the full 2026 list by expiration cadence so you always know what is actually tradeable today.

Tier 1: Daily 0DTE (Expirations Every Trading Day)

These six products have expirations listed for every Monday through Friday. They are the only tickers with a true "daily 0DTE" schedule.

Product	Type	Settlement	Multiplier	Notes
SPX	S&P 500 Index	Cash, European	$100	Most-traded 0DTE product. Favored for tax treatment (60/40).
SPY	S&P 500 ETF	Physical, American	$100	Tightest spreads in the retail 0DTE market.
XSP	Mini-SPX Index	Cash, European	$100	1/10th the notional of SPX. Cash-settled alternative to SPY.
NDX	Nasdaq-100 Index	Cash, European	$100	Tech-heavy index equivalent of QQQ.
QQQ	Nasdaq-100 ETF	Physical, American	$100	Second only to SPY in retail 0DTE flow.
IWM	Russell 2000 ETF	Physical, American	$100	Daily 0DTE since 2023. Small-cap exposure with deep liquidity.

If you want to trade 0DTE on any day of the week, you are trading one of these six. Everything else has a scheduled expiration pattern.

Tier 2: Mon/Wed/Fri (MWF) 0DTE

Most liquid single-stock and ETF names have expirations on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On those days, the nearest-term contract is a 0DTE.

Single-stock MWF:

• AAPL (Apple)
• MSFT (Microsoft)
• META (Meta Platforms)
• GOOGL (Alphabet)
• NVDA (NVIDIA)
• AVGO (Broadcom)
• TSLA (Tesla)
• AMZN (Amazon)

ETF MWF:

• DIA (Dow Jones ETF)
• GLD (Gold ETF)
• SLV (Silver ETF)
• IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust)
• TLT (20+ Year Treasuries)
• USO (US Oil Fund)

On a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, these tickers join the Tier 1 list as 0DTE-tradeable. On a Tuesday or Thursday, they are not — you would be trading the closest weekly instead.

Tier 3: Tuesday/Thursday Expirations (2025–2026 Expansion)

In 2024 and 2025, Cboe expanded expiration schedules on a handful of the most liquid single-stock names to also include Tuesday and Thursday. These give the highest-volume names an effectively daily 0DTE schedule.

Commonly cited additions (verify with your broker, as listings evolve):

• AAPL
• NVDA
• TSLA
• AMZN
• META

If you want daily 0DTE exposure on single stocks, these are the names to watch. On a Tuesday or Thursday, you can trade them same-day even when other MWF names cannot.

Index vs ETF: Which to Pick for 0DTE

For the three major index complexes, you have both the index and an ETF:

Exposure	Index (Cash-Settled)	ETF (Physically-Settled)
S&P 500	SPX, XSP	SPY
Nasdaq-100	NDX	QQQ
Russell 2000	RUT	IWM
Dow Jones	DJX	DIA

Index advantages:

• Cash settlement — no assignment risk on ITM short options at expiration
• European-style — cannot be exercised early
• SPX and NDX qualify for 60/40 tax treatment (60% long-term, 40% short-term capital gains)
• SPX contracts are 10x the notional of SPY for the same multiplier — efficient for large accounts

ETF advantages:

• Tighter penny-wide spreads on the most liquid strikes
• Smaller contract size — better for retail account sizing
• American-style exercise — flexibility for spreads and complex structures
• Fractional share dividends, though irrelevant for 0DTE holding periods

Most retail 0DTE traders start with SPY or QQQ for the tight spreads and lower per-contract notional. Larger accounts and tax-sensitive traders often migrate to SPX or XSP.

The Full 2026 0DTE-Eligible List

Combining everything, here is the practical list you can trade same-day options on during any given week:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday — the full list is active:

• Indexes: SPX, XSP, NDX
• ETFs: SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA, GLD, SLV, IBIT, TLT, USO
• Single stocks: AAPL, MSFT, META, GOOGL, NVDA, AVGO, TSLA, AMZN

Tuesday, Thursday — restricted to daily products plus Tue/Thu expansions:

• Indexes: SPX, XSP, NDX
• ETFs: SPY, QQQ
• Single stocks (where listed): AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, AMZN, META

What We Track on My 0DTE Options

The platform scans regime classification and composite momentum scores in real time for the 13 highest-volume 0DTE-eligible tickers. This matches the intersection of "has 0DTE options" and "has enough liquidity to trade those options cleanly."

Plan	Tickers Tracked	Ticker List
Bronze	1	SPY
Silver	5	SPY, QQQ, SLV, IBIT, NVDA
Gold	13	SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, META, GOOGL, NVDA, AVGO, TSLA, AMZN, IBIT, GLD, SLV

These are the tickers where the bid-ask spread is tight enough, the daily range large enough, and the expiration schedule active enough to support consistent 0DTE execution. If a ticker has listed 0DTE contracts but no one is trading them, the spreads will ruin the edge — those tickers are intentionally excluded.

How to Pick a Ticker for a Given Session

The list of what is available is not the same as what you should trade today. On any given morning, most of the 14 tickers are probably not the highest-probability setup. The workflow most successful 0DTE traders use:

1. Start with the daily list. On MWF, the full 14 are candidates. On Tue/Thu, focus on SPY, QQQ, IWM, and the Tue/Thu-listed single stocks.
2. Check regime alignment. Skip tickers showing 1/4 or 2/4 alignment — chop kills 0DTE. Focus on 3/4 and 4/4 setups.
3. Check composite score magnitude. Scores between -4 and +4 mean no directional conviction. Prioritize tickers with |score| above 4.
4. Pick the strongest setup. Usually one or two tickers stand out each morning. Trade those, skip the rest.

This is why having access to multiple tickers matters more than having access to every listed 0DTE product. On a day when SPY is range-bound at +2, NVDA might be trending at +8 with 4/4 alignment — and vice versa.

Common Questions

Does every stock have 0DTE options now?

No. Only the ~25 tickers listed above have same-day expiration schedules. Most small and mid-cap stocks still expire monthly or weekly on Fridays only. You cannot trade a 0DTE option on a ticker whose nearest expiration is not today.

Will more tickers be added?

Cboe continues to expand expiration schedules in response to volume demand. New Tue/Thu listings on existing MWF tickers are more likely than entirely new 0DTE products, which require sustained liquidity to justify. Track your broker's expiration calendar monthly.

Can I trade 0DTE on leveraged ETFs (TQQQ, SQQQ, etc.)?

In most cases, no. Leveraged ETFs typically have weekly (Friday-only) expirations. 0DTE-style leverage is more cleanly expressed through OTM calls or puts on the underlying index ETF.

Do I need the largest ticker list to be profitable?

No. Many consistently profitable 0DTE traders focus exclusively on SPY and QQQ. The advantage of monitoring more tickers is flexibility — on days when the index is choppy, an individual stock may be trending cleanly. But the core of 0DTE edge is regime reading and execution discipline, not ticker coverage.
