does anyone know a good brokerage house where one can execute emini SP options electronically ?

There is no low risk way to start. Secondly risk and measures of risk is very subjective and each individual may look at things very differently. With regard to spreads - besides what you mentioned about the risk of margin - depending on what spreads you trade - at times, the outrights can move...

Spread trading is thought to be less risky than outright positions - and in some cases it is - and in some cases it is much riskier.

whomever told you that spread trading is the safest starting point obviously does not know how to trade

and I have been wondering if John Carter knows how to trade - has anyone seen his track record ?
