When I enter SPX I get two options choice - futures options and options. I assume options give me the index options.

CBOE trades index options, not futures options (that's globex at the CME). go to the options trader, type in spx, and choose index

Thanks I was looking wrong options. Now how do I get index value? I need that to select option prices

I get the feeling you are way too green to trade...

Regardless, see the number at the top under "last"? That's the latest calculated index value

Thanks, yeah thats what I thought...so everything is as it should be. Except when selecting the SPX future options (Jun'12 @ GLOBEX) I cant get any BA quotes on the screen, which is my original problem...anyone knows why? Retailers cant trade this?
