Could you please clarify the distinction between SPX and SPX futures for me? I understand that both are related to the S&P 500 index, but how do they differ in terms of their functionality, trading mechanisms, and potential risks and rewards? Additionally, how do investors typically use these instruments in their portfolios, and what factors should they consider when making investment decisions?

With S&P Futures, traders can engage in
market activities 24 hours a day, five days a week, regardless of the opening and closing hours of the traditional stock market.
