  3. It's pretty similar to trading some far OTM puts/calls...you know that the odds are they will eventually expire worthless, but you can game them up and down in the interim.

  10. Put on a couple nov spy call credit spreads @ 204/204.50. In hindsight I should have just used the ES or SPX instead because the commission blows on that close of a strike, assuming I can get the same relative fill through any of those 3 routes of course. Oh well, consider that lesson learned.

    What do you all prefer to use, SPY, SPX, or ES?
