  • 10 Major Differences Between SPY and SPX Options

    SPY and SPX give you exposure to the S&P 500, but these options have key differences you should know before getting started.

    Paying Dividends

    SPX does not pay a dividend, but SPY does. Dividends may not seem relevant because someone buying options does not own shares. You only receive the dividend if you own the shares before the ex-dividend date.

    But the dividend is relevant for options traders. Some traders may exercise SPY options early to be on time for the dividend. An ex-dividend also lowers the stock price, which will affect your option’s value. If SPY offers a $1.60 dividend this quarter, SPY’s share price will decrease by $1.60 on the ex-dividend date. Options do not get adjusted downward proportionally to the ex-dividend, but a decrease in share price hurts calls and helps puts.

    Trading Style

    Traders can use two approaches for their options trading. SPY options use the American style of option trading, while SPX options use the European trading style.

    Investment Cost

    Several factors influence an option’s cost, including the underlying asset’s price. Because the S&P 500 is roughly 10 times the price of SPY, the options for SPX require a higher investment. An investor would have to purchase 10 SPY calls with $400 strike prices to get the same exposure as one SPX call with a $4,000 strike price.

    Settlement Price

    If a SPY option gets exercised, shares exchange hands. A call holder will receive 100 shares, while someone with a put can sell their 100 shares. Instead of letting traders exchange shares, SPX options involve cash. SPX options give traders the cash equivalent of their in-the-money profits plus the initial investment. If the option expires worthless, the trader gets nothing back.

    Expiration

    SPY options follow the American trading style, which means options expire on Fridays at 4 p.m. Eastern. Some ETFs like SPY have multiple expiration dates each week, but most stocks expire after Friday’s close.

    SPX options follow a different model, the European trading style. Most European options also expire on Friday’s close, but the third Friday of each month presents an exception. Options that expire on the third Friday don’t benefit from Friday’s price movements. These options stop trading after Thursday’s close. You cannot exercise a SPX option and have to wait for the settlement date to receive cash (SPX options do not involve shares changing hands), but you can exercise a SPY option at any time.

    Contract

    Options traders can only get involved with two types of contracts: calls and puts. These derivatives enable various options trading strategies you can use for SPY and SPX options. Both options let you engage in calls and puts.

    Value

    SPX options hold a higher value than SPY options because of the difference in share prices. A trader needs 10 SPY options to have the same value as one SPX option. While SPX options hold more value per contract, they both produce similar returns. If the S&P 500 increases by 1%, the SPY will also increase by roughly 1%. A 1% increase in the underlying asset’s price will produce nearly identical percentage gains for SPX and SPY options.

    Liquidity

    SPX and SPY both have great liquidity. They are among the most in-demand options, with 

  • In this special Thanksgiving episode of the SMOT podcast, I want to take a moment to say thank you for being a dedicated listener. Wishing you and your family the very best this holiday season!

    Today, we’re diving into a case study on options position sizing. I recently posted a video on YouTube where I compared the same trading strategy across different account sizes and allocations to see how position sizing can dramatically impact performance. In this episode, you’ll hear the audio from that video.

    Here's the link: https://youtu.be/ThDgXklMG40

    If you’re a visual learner, I’ve included a link to the YouTube video so you can check out the performance metrics in detail—it’s only 12 minutes long!

    Before we jump in, a quick ask: If you’re enjoying the SMOT podcast, I’d be thrilled if you left a review on Apple or Spotify. It takes just 30 seconds, and it means the world.

    Now, let’s get into this case study on optimizing your options position sizing!

  • In this episode, I walk through my recent GOOGL earning trade in which I held shares into the earnings event but added a risk free collar trade for protection. As you'll hear, the collar trade caps my upside but gives some downside protection in case the stock were to rollover.

    At the time of this posting, GOOGL was up a little over 5% on an earnings pop and I've since exited most of the trade for profit.

    In this episode, I discuss something about vertical spreads that options education books typically don't include. We'll explore comparing buying a single call option vs. buying a long call spread aka. bull put spread through the lens of trading strategy.

    The primary point is that there is a level of consistency with vertical spreads over single options in that the cost of the spread is relatively the same over time whereas the cost of the call can vary due to volatility. This can make it harder to allocate a consistent amount of capital to a strategy.

    The downside with vertical debit spreads of course is that you gaining consistency but at the cost of capping your upside gains if the market moves heavily in your favor.

  • If you trade the S&P500, then this series is for you. In the S&P500 Navigator series, we'll discuss current market conditions including options positions, major economic events, and AlphaCrunching.com's Triumph Rates for trading short term SPX weekly options.

    In this episode, we'll talk about a trade idea to express a short term bearish thesis of SPX making a move to its 200sma over the next week or so.

    The key takeaway is that you are able to create trade structures with options to express you r idea of what you think the market may do or not do over a certain period of time. As long as you are ok with the risk reward, then you can express that opinion and then find out later if you are right or wrong.

  • As the market continues to defy gravity and hit new highs every week it seems, you may be thinking about how you can protect any stocks you may be holding.

    In this episode, we'll discuss a put spread collar trade which can allow you to get some downside protection while at the same time giving you room for more upside participation.

    I came across this trade idea on X and brought Jon on the show to walk us through it.

  • When researching a new trading strategy, its important to not only look at things like total profit and win rate, but its just as important to look at the P/L curve of the strategy to determine if its something you'll actually be able to trade.

    Here's the link to System #3 mentioned in the episode to get some context around the P/L curve that was discussed:

    When it comes to researching and trading strategies and then implementing them, there are many additional factors that don't make it into the backtest. In this episode, I walk through a recent 1DTE trade in which the options expire the following day.

    Despite the trade only being 24 hours long, it was the longest trade of my life.
