In this example, we have based our SPY options trade
on the S&P 500 volume indicators. Using the principles outlined above, you may
wish to trade options on the SPY, ^SPX, DIAMONDS (DIA). It is also conceivable
that an analysis similar to the one shown below could be used to trade options
based on the NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, and other indexes.
