Account columns share the final known date: 06 Mar 2026.

The first column adds up only cycles closed in every variant; "all" is each variant's own coverage. All four rows use the selected maturity pair. Coverage differences are not a roll effect; account drawdown and return use the selected calendar period.

Three maturity pairs · the same account calendar

Common final valuation date: 08 Apr 2025.

The same selected mode and costs, each starting with $1M. Cycle lengths differ, so this compares account changes over the calendar period, not matching cycle IDs. Account values stop at the common final date. Closed/planned counts cover each pair’s full available history in the selected period, without truncation at that date.

Method, assumptions, coverage and limitations

Maturities and entry. Each leg has 100 contracts, multiplier 100. The long ATM CALL + PUT is bought at the nearest common strike, ties to the lower strike. Daily/weekly cycles span one calendar week; both monthly variants span four calendar weeks, without resetting cash. A holiday moves the first entry to the first available session at 09:35 New York. The long expiry is the final trading session of the cycle.

Sale periods. Each daily short straddle is opened at 09:35 and closed 15 minutes before that same session closes (morning 0DTE). The short leg is absent overnight; remaining long protection stays open. The number of sales follows the actual exchange sessions. When long and short refer to the same contract, a sale reduces the long position (NET). It is not counted as an independent long and short. At the final close all remaining long positions are sold at bid; a valid zero-bid OTM long is waived without a sale or commission. Actual timestamps and contract expiries are in the ledger.

Control and oracle. The default no_long_roll keeps the original long strike and makes no decision from a future price. The optional oracle_next_period compares the last non-flat direction with the next sale period’s direction, obtained from a future closing price. An opposite direction beyond the 0%, 1% or 2% threshold can trigger a long roll at the decision-time bid/ask; a roll before the final same-expiry period is disallowed. The threshold is a return per sale interval: daily and weekly 1% thresholds have different scales. It has no effect in the control. The signal ledger records decision time, future-data time, and whether future data was used. This oracle comparison cannot be traded and is not a guaranteed optimum.

Data and fills. Massive historical NBBO, as-of option contract references and frozen underlying minute bars · XNYS (exchange_calendars). QQQ uses the last completed minute bar at the decision. Options use the last same-session NBBO at or before the moment. Quotes older than 60 seconds are flagged stale. Every buy pays ask and every sale receives bid; quoted size below the requested quantity is counted, without proving a complete fill. The stress cost adds $0.01 per share against every executed side, with sales floored at zero.

Account and attribution. Premium received is a cash flow, not profit. Daily equity is cash + long bids − short asks at the actual close minus 15 minutes; closing-fee reserves are separate. Calendar-year account P&L includes all positions carried into the year. Cycle tables are selected by the planned cycle start year, so cycles crossing New Year need not sum to calendar-year account P&L. Period boundaries include changes in the long position, including overnight changes for daily sales. A cycle’s equity column is its cumulative P&L, while the account begins with $1M. Capital is not reset; no broker margin/buying-power, early assignment or share delivery is modelled; interest, taxes and withdrawals are zero.

Coverage. 421 sessions 06 Jan 2025 — 10 Sep 2026 · planned cycles 88 · closed 62 · open at range end 1 · skipped 0 · unresolved 25 · account confirmed through 13 Mar 2026. Both years were examined in earlier research; a favourable number here is not an out-of-sample edge, and the future-informed comparison cannot be traded.
