On the CBOE website it says the SPX index has pretty high options volumes, not sure if this is right but on IB I see no volume or no market makers (bid ask) for the CBOE SPX options? What am I doing wrong? The contract Im looking at is "SPX Jun'12 @GLOBEX" on IB.

SPX is still on the floor so the quotes you see are indicative. You will get filled at much better prices than you see on the screen. Weekly spx is electronic so prices will be narrower.

GLOBEX is the CME not the CBOE.

You have to pick SMART(CBOE) to see the CBOE SPX option quotes.

Yeah, I write in "SPX", then click SPX->Futures->Jun->2012, and in the contract selection window I only see CME and GLOBEX as the options, no CBOE.

Maybe I'm missing a data feed subscription?
