What is the difference between trading the S & P 500 using e-minis versus options on spy?

Can I get a little help on this one?

thanks
 
Kr81,

Trading the future entails buying/selling exposure to absolute changes in the full value; with options, you are buying or selling a fraction/percentage.

Look at CME, CBOT, EUREX web sites for more info.

Grant,

thanks for your advice. This bulletin board community of traders is like having a coach or mentor available for guidance.

thanks again
