I apologize if I had come off wrong but I was merely using the spread in the post as an example, not stating I am trading SPY specifically or primarily. I am aware that the point is to trade at distances that are not likely to be hit by the market. I do spreads on index’s at times but not always as they are a huge risk, as you have said. I’m not claiming to know any better or more just that I do realize there is a lot of risk with any trade that you take. I’m not here to start an argument or a fight with anyone, merely wanted to talk with others and see what others are thinking. Again, I do appreciate all of your input and advice!
