Thanks very much everybody.  The link below is particularly interesting.

Does anybody know whether Larry Williams would be referring to something
like SPY in his book 'Long Term secrets to Short Term trading'?  The
reference is basically the S&P 500 index.  Is he trading futures?

Thanks,
Sean

  If I want to buy/sell the S&P 500, what instrument(s) should I/could I
use?
  I'm told that SPX is simply the index and cannot be traded, one has to
trade
  instruments that reflex the index.
  Can anybody shed further light on this for me ?

  Many thanks,
  Sean
