Research the index.
Review the instrument.
The S&P 500 cash index is not a share you can buy. This desk concerns only SPY — a listed cash ETF, with separate owner-reported BUY and existing-position SELL TO CLOSE plans. Review market availability and risk before making any independent broker decision.
Propose a cash BUY
Enter broker-observed SPY ASK, your own equity, cash excluding pending orders, existing stop risk and realized daily loss. Estimated round-trip percentage and stressed slippage must cover costs; separately charged fixed broker fees are not modelled.
Review SELL TO CLOSE
Only an existing broker-owned SPY cash position qualifies. Deduct all shares reserved by working stops, bracket orders, OCO and pending sells before stating free-to-sell shares. This desk cannot cancel protective orders.
No order has been sent.
Choose BUY or SELL, enter your own broker observations and acknowledge a fresh recheck. No order, fill or stop is created here.
The 30-second owner recheck expires. Changed inputs invalidate the plan. Use the broker itself to verify real-time prices, current market status, eligibility, buying power, total commissions, live stops and order acknowledgements. Never assume a profitable trade, sellability or protection from losses.
