What is the XSP Options Chain?
The XSP options chain displays all available call and put option contracts for the Mini-SPX Index (XSP), which is 1/10th the size of the standard SPX index. XSP options are cash-settled, European-style, and receive Section 1256 tax treatment (60/40 long-term/short-term capital gains), just like SPX. With a contract size 1/10th of SPX, XSP makes index options accessible to smaller accounts while maintaining the tax advantages and cash settlement benefits. Our free XSP options chain viewer provides real-time data including bid/ask quotes, last trade price, volume, open interest, implied volatility, and the full suite of Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega) for every contract.
Why Use Our XSP Options Chain Viewer?
XSP options offer the same benefits as SPX (cash settlement, European-style, Section 1256 tax treatment) but at 1/10th the size, making them accessible to retail traders. XSP is perfect for smaller accounts that want index options exposure without the capital requirements of full-size SPX. XSP also offers AM-settled options for overnight risk management.
