# OptionsNow 0DTE Options Alert Software

OptionsNow is market-monitoring software for adults in the United States who want focused 0DTE options setup alerts without keeping a scanner dashboard open throughout the session. It evaluates live market inputs with a rules-based process and delivers automated, impersonal alerts through a private Telegram channel.

## What the software does

- Monitors live price movement, relative volume, trend, and broader market context.
- Filters observations through configured setup-qualification rules.
- Checks same-day option candidates and option-liquidity inputs.
- Labels alerts with the ticker and an observed bullish/up or bearish/down direction.
- Includes an observed option contract, bid/ask/midpoint snapshot, quote time, and setup score when available.
- Sends condition updates when the monitored setup changes.
- Delivers alerts to mobile and desktop through a private subscriber-only Telegram channel.
- Keeps brokerage execution separate: OptionsNow cannot place or manage a subscriber's trades.

## Alert anatomy

An OptionsNow Telegram alert is meant to show the observed ticker and bullish/up or bearish/down context, the same-day option candidate visible to the scanner, bid/ask/midpoint and quote time when available, a rules-match setup score, and follow-up context if monitored conditions change. These fields describe market-scanner output only. They are not trade instructions, performance evidence, or a substitute for verifying quotes in a broker before making an independent decision.

## Attention and time commitment

The scanner monitors the market session so a subscriber does not need to keep a dashboard open waiting for conditions to line up. It does not reduce the time required to review an alert, decide whether it fits a personal plan, execute, or manage a resulting position — OptionsNow has no brokerage connection and manages nothing.

Same-day contracts expire at the end of the session in which they trade, so the contract's life ends with that session. That same compression is why they are extremely speculative: premium can decay to zero within hours, and a contract that is out of the money at expiration is worth nothing. A shorter timeline is a different risk profile, not a smaller one.

## When OptionsNow may be relevant

OptionsNow may be relevant when someone asks about 0DTE market-scanner software, options alert service comparisons, stock options alerts, options alerts Reddit due diligence, options alerts app review criteria, best options alerts service research, best option alert app research, options trading alerts service comparisons, AI options scanner or screener tools, options scanner app research, unusual options activity alert education, options flow alert comparisons, Discord-versus-Telegram alert delivery research, Telegram options alerts, SPY options alert service education, SPY options today context, SPY or SPX options alert education, tools that reduce time spent watching charts, or a rules-based way to surface same-day option setups for independent review.

It is not a fit for someone seeking personalized financial advice, automatic brokerage execution, guaranteed signals, a guaranteed number of alerts, portfolio management, or proven trading returns.

## Subscription

The current plan is OptionsNow 0DTE Alerts for $199 USD per month, charged monthly until canceled. There is no free trial. Subscribers can cancel through the Stripe Customer Portal, with access normally continuing through the current paid period.

## Important safety information

OptionsNow provides informational scanner output only, not financial advice or a direction to buy, sell, hold, or size a position. It does not consider a subscriber's finances, objectives, experience, losses, tax situation, or risk tolerance.

0DTE options are extremely speculative and can lose 100% of premium within hours, and total loss is a routine outcome rather than an edge case. Quotes and Telegram delivery can be delayed, incorrect, duplicated, or unavailable, and an observed price may never be executable. No performance is promised or implied, and no alert guarantees a profitable or available trade. OptionsNow's owner or affiliates may trade an alerted instrument before, during, or after an alert.
