Monday & Wednesday Expiries Coming: Amplify Gains With 0DTE or Stock ETF?
SEC has approved a rule change proposed by Nasdaq ISE. Starting January 26, 2026, a select group of mega-cap stocks and ETFs will be eligible for additional Monday and Wednesday short-term option expiries, expanding the existing short-term options program.
Who will join Monday & Wednesday options and when to trade?
According to Nasdaq’s Q1 2026 eligibility list, the first nine securities include Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Amazon, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Broadcom, Alphabet, and iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF. The list will be reviewed quarterly and adjusted as eligibility changes.
New Monday/Wednesday expiries will not be listed around earnings dates, settlement will continue at the regular market close, and traders are explicitly warned about post-market price risks that may trigger unexpected assignments.
For active options traders, this rule change expands the toolkit for gamma trading, event hedging, and theta management.
These top-tier names not only have strong trading liquidity, but also offer a wide range of ways to trade them. Beyond the newly launched short-dated midweek options, there are also single-stock leveraged ETFs such as $GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF(NVDL)$ , $Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares(TSLL)$ , $Direxion Daily MSFT Bull 2X Shares(MSFU)$ , and $GraniteShares 2X Long AVGO Daily ETF(AVGU)$ .

With these new midweek expiries, I’d mainly use them for short-term trades and tactical hedging rather than holding longer. Short-dated options are effective for quick moves or adjusting exposure around headlines, though post-market risk and unexpected assignment still need close attention.
On volatility, I do think short-dated options can amplify price swings in heavily traded names. NVIDIA and Tesla stand out as the most active candidates, as strong options flow and trader interest could intensify gamma-driven moves.

Check them in the history - “community distribution“
Will be interesting to watch how it turns out.
The "BATMMAAN" group (Magnificent 7 plus Broadcom) and the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) are the primary targets for the new Monday/Wednesday listings starting January 26, 2026.
with the new Monday and Wednesday expiries, expect more options volume, theta and delta will need to be reevaluated as it will definitely make these stocks more volatile. Tesla will definitely see more volume for these options. hopefully we can see more companies being allowed to have Mon & Wed expiries. My personal favorite is $Strategy(MSTR)$ and $ProShares UltraPro QQQ(TQQQ)$

1.0DTE机会
周一和周三交易0DTE的主要原因是捕捉超加速时间衰减（θ）。
收入频率：您可以每年252天收取保费，而不是等待一个月的期权到期。
隔夜风险有限：由于您在同一天进场和出场，因此您不容易受到休市时消息爆出的“跳空下跌”或“跳空上涨”的影响。
低资本要求：0DTE期权比长期期权便宜得多，提供巨大的杠杆作用。
中间立场：2026年许多交易者正在使用基于0DTE的ETF（如$QDTE或$XDTE）。这些基金为你做0DTE销售，提供每日或每周分配，而不需要你手动管理希腊人。
