Why Trade Index Options?

1. Less uncertainty: Because the price and volume fluctuations are much higher for a particular stock than they are for an index, that is the key reason why we trade index options rather than options on individual stocks. Stocks often react wildly to unpredictable events, such as rumors, news earning reports and others. We have greatly lowered the degree of uncertainty that is associated with the trading of individual stock options by tailoring our trade indicators to the trading of index options on the NASDAQ 100, S&P 100 and the S&P 500.
2. Lower Capital Investment: buying into the index directly is as easy as buying into a stock. Because there is no need to worry about loads or other hidden fees, you end up with low commissions.
3. Reduced volatility: Indexes are much less volatile than their constituent stocks. A sudden volatile even on an individual stock (news, earnings, up-/downgrades, etc.) will not impact the index to the same degree that it impacts the stock itself, because an index is comprised of many individual stocks. The price movements in the index are much less pronounced and volatile due to the presence of many other stocks in the index which tend to smooth out or buffer such impacts.
