Select a narrow-based spot index (e.g., S\&P Small Cap 600, GNA ). Use SECF to identify indexes that have option contracts: Enter SECF; select index/Stats from "Category" dropdown; click "Opts" tab for a listing of index options and their tickers. Load index options: Ticker \(<\) Index \(>\). On the selected index screen, type OSA to bring up the OSA screen, and select "Listed Options" on the contract from the red "Positions" dropdown tab to bring up listed index options and then select the options to include in your evaluation.

c. Bull Put Spread: Long in put with low \(\mathrm{X}\) and short in put with high \(\mathrm{X}\).

d. Strap Purchase: Straddle purchase with additional calls (e.g., long 2 calls and long put).
