The opening print from all the stocks in the index are taken to calculate the price. Any existing option positions are then Cash Settled.

Because of the difference in settlement and trading and the overnight time factor there can be a huge difference between where the SPX is when the options stop trading and the SET price. There is no way to predict whether the SET will be higher or lower or by how much. The only thing that is known is that it is highly likely there will be a difference.

This is like betting on red or black at the casino except you have no idea how much you can make or lose. We prefer high probability trades. Expiring option positions in the SPX should either be exited or rolled.
