I've always liked the idea of looking at one thing. Like trading an index. I probably will one day work up the nerve to trade S&P futures, but I've just heard too many horror stories from traders who I respect. I've looked at SPY but the leverage is not enough and the spread is too big (for me). I've looked at QQQ (trading the NDX), but once again, leverage and spread. What do you think of trading the S&P's? I looked at index options as well and found lack of liquidity with the exception of the OEX and the spreads were huge. I mean, I felt like I started in a huge hole and had to hit a home run just to break even. What is your take on it? How do you go about making consistent money on the OEX? Matt
