0-Dated Options Trading:
These are options that expire on the same day they're traded. It's an adrenaline-pumping ride, no doubt. Every tick of the underlying asset can drastically impact your position. The stakes are high, and so are the potential rewards. Imagine the exhilaration of capitalizing on market movements within mere hours!

What?

I don't see how staring at a bunch of numbers on the screen is supposed to pack more thrill than gambling, especially when the result will not be known for several hours in the worst case.

Besides, gambling is supposed to be a pastime, not something you take as a job. Trading is the complete opposite of that and you're not supposed to fool around.
