Gary P.
After 9 months of sleepless nights — learning, failing, adjusting — Gary kept me sharp. He became more than a mentor. He became a mirror.
But here's the thing: Gary is a position trader. I needed something different. I wanted to trade 1–2 hours a day , max. So with his guidance and my own research, I built IKIGAI.
IKIGAI is a Japanese concept — it means "reason for being." It's the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.
My version is simple:
When we profit, we plant trees. We create oxygen. Trading becomes more than income — it becomes impact.
Zero DTE, short for zero days to expiration, refers to options contracts that expire on the same trading day they are opened. On the SPX (S&P 500 Index) and SPY (S&P 500 ETF), these contracts are now available every single market day, thanks to expanded weekly expirations introduced by the CBOE.
Zero DTE trading has exploded in popularity over the past three years. More than 1.5 million 0DTE contracts trade daily, now accounting for nearly half of all SPX options volume. Traders are drawn to 0DTE because it eliminates overnight risk, offers fast setups, and allows you to trade in as little as 60 minutes a day without sitting in front of a screen all session.
But the same speed that makes zero DTE attractive also makes it dangerous for the unprepared. Without a structured system, a disciplined framework, and real training in price action, most traders lose money trading 0DTE options. The data is clear on this. Emotions, random indicators, and "guru" trade calls are not a foundation for consistent results.
That is exactly why this masterclass exists.
The IKIGAI Zero DTE Masterclass was built to teach you a repeatable, data driven system for trading zero DTE SPX and SPY options. You will learn to read the market yourself using price action fundamentals and algo driven levels, not predictions, not someone else's calls, and not gut feelings. This is a skill. And like any skill worth having, it takes structured instruction, deliberate practice, and mentorship from people who have done it at the highest level.
Qamar Zaman (Q) learned from Gary Paccagni, a former NYSE specialist floor trader from Goldman Sachs, who taught Q so you are getting combined experience. This gives you decades of real market experience, proprietary trading systems, and a teaching methodology refined across multiple student batches. As of March 2026 Qamar has taught over 30+ students in the last 90 days who are trading successfully. Unlike other programs where one person calls the trades you read your price action and make your own decision.
If you are serious about learning zero DTE the right way, this is where it starts.
This masterclass is designed for a specific type of trader. It is not for everyone, and that is by design.
You are a fit for this program if you are:
This is NOT for you if:
Gary's been using my ALGO. His students loved it. He came to me and said, "Q, they want this."
But let's be honest — if an indicator alone could make you rich, everyone would be a billionaire.
So here's what I've done: I'm giving you the ALGO — a combination of everything Gary and I have tested, refined, and improved over time. Instead of making our mistakes, you learn from them.
My dad always said: Learn from history. History is our teacher.
This isn't a get-rich program. It's a way for you to learn a skill and make a decent living — on your terms.
Most zero DTE traders fail for the same reasons. They trade on emotion. They follow predictions. They use random indicators without understanding why. They enter trades without a plan and exit trades based on fear or greed.
The IKIGAI method is built to eliminate all of that. It combines three foundations into one repeatable system.
You will learn to read the chart the way a professional reads it. Market structure. Support and resistance. Volume data. Momentum shifts. Key levels where institutional money is active. This is the foundation that Q has refined and learned from his mentor GP, Combined with over decades on the NYSE floor at Goldman Sachs. It is not a theory from a textbook. It is real world pattern recognition developed in one of the most competitive trading environments on the planet.
The IKIGAI Q ALGO is a proprietary indicator system built for TradingView. It identifies statistically significant price levels based on historical data analysis. These levels give you objective entry and exit points, removing guesswork and emotion from every trade decision. The ALGO does not predict the market. It reads the data, identifies where price is likely to react, and gives you a framework to act on that information with discipline. The CORE of Algo is price and volume which are the leading indicators.
Every trade has a defined maximum loss before you enter. You will learn position sizing, stop placement, and capital protection on every single setup. The rule is simple: never risk more than $250 per trade when you are starting. Professional zero DTE traders typically allocate based on their own financial position, but the masterclass teaches you to manage risk at any account size.
A repeatable system you can execute in 60 minutes a day. No staring at screens all session. Not depending on someone else's trade calls. No emotional decision making. Just data, structure, and execution.
As Mr. Miyagi taught Daniel: "First learn, then fly." That is the principle behind everything in this program.

This Master Class is a 14-day intensive bootcamp designed for traders who already have experience with options and want an edge. If someone has never traded before, this program is not a fit.
Zero-DTE options are a completely different ecosystem.
As Mr. Miyagi taught Daniel: "First learn, then fly."You need structure before speed, and you need discipline before confidence.
Q and Gary will guide you in understanding price action — the foundation of reading the market instead of reacting to it.
To borrow another Miyagi truth: "Your focus needs more focus."This is the mindset required for zero-DTE.
At the end of the 14 days, you must pass a viva-style evaluation. If you pass, you qualify for Phase 2.
If the Master Class is your education, the Algo is your business tool.
In the real world, starting a business requires:
In zero-DTE trading, you are the business — and the Algo becomes only about 10% of the equation. The real work is mastering discipline, setups, risk, and execution.
To trade and scalp effectively, most professional traders allocate at least $50,000 . You should not risk more than $250 per trade until you become highly proficient.
When you master the mechanics, learn the setups, and manage risk correctly — trading can become a profession.
This program teaches a system, not shortcuts. This is not a "get rich quick" program. Your first step is learning. Then, if you qualify, you may subscribe to the software, use a simulator, and only then consider trading live.
I hope this clarifies the structure and intention of the program.

It is a 14 day intensive bootcamp that teaches you how to trade zero day to expiration (0DTE) options on the SPX and SPY using a structured, algo driven system. The program includes 19 hours of live instruction, hands on lab sessions during market hours, mentorship and access to the proprietary IKIGAI Q ALGO system on TradingView.
The program is taught by Qamar Zaman (Q), a trading system developer and founder of Coffee With Q, after learning from Gary Paccagni, a former NYSE specialist floor trader from Goldman Sachs. Gary taught QZ decades of institutional trading experience. Q brings the technical ALGO development and a structured teaching methodology refined across multiple student batches.
Yes. This masterclass is designed for traders who already have experience with options. Zero DTE options are an advanced instrument. The program assumes you understand the basics of options mechanics, including calls, puts, strikes, and expiration. If you are brand new to options, build your foundation first and then come back when you are ready.
The IKIGAI Q ALGO is a proprietary indicator system built for TradingView that identifies key price levels, entry and exit signals, and market structure for zero DTE trading. It is data driven, not prediction based. During the 14 day program, you receive full access to the Student Edition so you can learn how it works, why it works, and how to apply it to live market conditions. You use paper money to build your mechanical edge.
The program investment is $1,995. This covers all 18 training sessions, 19 hours of live instruction access to the ALGO Student Edition for 14 days, price action masterclass videos, data analysis training, and exclusive course materials not shared publicly.
Yes. If you attend the first 2 hours of Lecture on Day 1 and decide the program is not the right fit, you will receive a full refund. After that point, no refunds are issued because you will already have access to the system, the materials, and the methodology.
After passing the final viva voce examination (a live assessment happens), you earn lifetime Coffee With Q membership. This gives you ongoing access to the IKIGAI community, a network of traders who share levels, insights, and support. You also qualify for Phase 2, which is optional access to the VIP ALGO, a premium TradingView suite for continued trading.
Three things separate this program. First, you learn directly from a student of a former Goldman Sachs NYSE floor trader, not a YouTube personality or self-proclaimed guru. Second, you receive a proprietary price and volume based algo system with help documents with videos as well giving you real, documented student results, not just theory or slides. Third, you MUST PASS the live exam to graduate. This means every student who completes the program has been personally evaluated and confirmed ready to trade independently.
You need a fast Windows or MAC computer with a reliable internet connection. You also need a TradingView account at the Professional level or higher to use the IKIGAI Q ALGO Student Edition. If you do not have a TradingView subscription, we recommend the current sale pricing. Additionally, you need a valid WhatsApp account for community access and a valid email address to receive daily levels on CoffeeWithQ.org during the program.
You can learn the system with any account size. The masterclass focuses on skill development, not account size. The program teaches you to manage risk so you never risk more than $250 per trade when starting. Your first goal after graduating is simple: do not lose money. Consistency and discipline come before scaling.
