XSP offers great flexibility for both trial and long-term flexibility in diff strategy allocation, just giving us more reasons to trade!

yes please. SPX is just too big for some trades / accounts.

Another approach that can be used for supporting XSP would be to have an option to use SPX on the back tests but use XSP for live trading. Disclaimers can be displayed explaining that XSP trades will likely have more slippage, different strikes, etc. Not all strategies would work, but I've been trading with a group that has been doing XSP trades alongside SPX trades for several months now and, for some strategies (especially those with no stops), XSP has mirrored the success of SPX quite well.

Please add XSP to automated trades so we have a smaller option that cash settles.

I believe it's a CBOE product and would be very beneficial to back test and/or trade small accounts. I would surely use it for both - back testing and automation as soon as it if offered.

This is so important to smaller account traders.

Please add it! Backtesting with SPY is all well and good, but the traders that see the benefits of XSP vs the cons of SPY are willing to make the switch, at least for ride or die. Meaning, XSP will only proliferate the longer it exists (liquidity will increase, spreads will decrease). Hopping on BT now can be seen as a forward-looking move. Folks that BT with it will just need to be aware of realistic slippage/spreads when testing, and know that it’s not going to fill within pennies like SPY (yet!).
