SPX Options (S&P 500 Index)

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

SPX options are available for the three months closest to the current date, plus March, June, September, and December. LEAPS options are available for the S&P 500 Index as well. 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.
