It turns out that my issue was based on a misunderstanding. I am not permitted to trade TLT for the reasons given above but I am permitted to trade TLT options. Thankfully I can still follow the SteadyYields trades.

I trade using IB (I am in France) and I never met this kind of issue. From my experience, it turned out that they always replied to me when I add a problem, even if it was with a certain delay by mail. You can also directly call them and ask.

The better strategy is to understand gamma. Option trading in most circumstances is not rocket science and just playing percentages but the one thing that absolutely rips any strategy is gamma. When you have 0 dte trades gamma is sky high - I have a higher tolerance for it than Kim but I respect his point of view. If gamma moves against you and there is barely any time to expiry there is nothing you can do to control the outcome except pray.
