SPX Options (S&P 500 Index)

S&P 500 (SPX) options are among the most highly liquid options on the market. 500 leading companies ( most of them listed on the NYSE) from a diverse array of industries, is what comprises the S&P 500 Index. Institutional traders rely more heavily on the S&P 500, considering it the better indicator, even though many individual traders follow the Dow Jones Index as a reliable trading indicator of over all market performance.

SPX options are available for the three months closes to the current date, plus March, June, September, and December. For the S&P 500 Index, LEAPS options are also available. SPX options strike prices are usually set in intervals of 25 points.

Several factors attract investors to SPX options, including:

• SPX options are tied to the S&P 500 Index - the world's leading benchmark for institutional investors.
  
• SPX options allow investors to trade a cumulative basket of a 500-stock portfolio;
  
• Trading SPX options requires less capital than trading the options of individual stocks;
  
• S&P 500 index options are a highly liquid trading vehicle.
