PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Security Options such as the OEX....SPX.....NDX settle into cash..they
can be either american or european(OEX IS AMERICAN).  They can be traded
by any securities(series 7 )broker.

Futures options settle into the futures contract...different
multipliers(right now the S & P is 500, but that changes sdhortly). 
Brokers need a future's license.

Securities option have a public limit order book with customer
protection and every possible order qualifier is available,,,except in
fast markets  AON IOC MIT LMT PARITY +/-  price benchmarks to futures,
etc.
