    Why CFD and not Exchange-listed SPY ETF and Options?

    Do you have access to IG Index CFD / Spreadbettors ?
    ... if so then you could sell puts with same strike as covered call ( as equivalent positions )

    Spreads are wide ... and skewed in favour of their book ... but given most US brokers have a problem opening accounts for non-US residents ... may be an alternative

    Are ES/MES Futures and options on ES larger contracts than would fit your needs?

     
  6. Other than IG index,Interactive broker, Plus500. Any other CfD provider providing SPY in. CFD and SPY option (weekly,monthly)?
     
  7. Thanks for prompt response Robert Morse.

    I guess, I'm not a fan of CFD and would prefer listed symbols. That was why I asked about futures, they provide the leverage you are looking for without the counter-party risk of CFD and with real price discover.

     
  9. If the leverage available it’s good.
    Any option available for MES (Micro S& P) future ?
    If I trade Long MES and h3dging by SPY 5*put is I’m protected by every point drop ? .
    My under standing is Micro S&P is 1/10 of mini SPX future & SPY is 1/10 of SPX .and 5* SPY= 1 MES future
    Kindly confirm or do I have separate option for MES.
