<p>Example trade (numbers): SPX at 4,200, intraday long bias, ATR(14)=12. Enter 0DTE call debit spread: buy 4200 call, sell 4220 call for net debit $2.00. Risk per contract = $200. If account = $100,000 and risk target = 1% ($1,000), trade 5 contracts. Targets: take half at +$200 (1R) and full at +$400 (2R) or exit at a $200 loss (1R stop).</p>
