The SPY weekly options have drained most of the volume from the big S&P. The volume is enormous. The spread between bid and ask is pennies, and the premium is relatively small. Yes, the retail guy is in there trading.
Often you can get 10-1 on a Friday if you are correct.
IMO, no need to get into the sophisticated strategies. I just bet on the put or call.
