# FatTail Labs

> Trading education built on capital preservation: "First, stop the bleeding."
> Courses, a daily live trading room, and resources teaching defined-risk,
> convex options structures — butterflies on same-day-expiration (0-DTE) index
> options above all. Founded by Ernie Varitimos (0-DTE.com, the 0DTE Live Show
> on YouTube). The doctrine: most trading accounts die from unbounded losers,
> not from missing winners — survive first, then position to harvest the fat
> tails. Education builds capacity, not dependency.
