Overview
What is 0DTE Flow on MrChart?
0DTE flow is the options activity in contracts that expire today. This view takes the Live Flow tape and locks it to same-day expiry, so every print you see is a contract with hours left. Above the tape, a band shows the session's net call and net put premium for 0DTE contracts, refreshed through the day.
Zero days to expiry options are the fastest part of the options market, because small moves in the stock change their value quickly. The page also shows the 0DTE share of each name's options volume, so you can see which stocks lean most on same-day contracts. It is context for understanding the session, not a signal.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is 0DTE?
0DTE means zero days to expiry: an options contract that expires at the close of the current trading day. With so little time left, its price reacts quickly to small moves in the stock.
Why do traders watch 0DTE flow?
Same-day contracts now make up a large part of activity in some names, so their premium and volume are a useful read of short-term positioning. They also carry high risk, so treat the data as context only.
Why does the page sometimes show nothing?
When no contract expires on the current day, there is no zero-day flow to show, and the page says so. It fills again on a day when contracts do expire.
