In finance , a calendar spread also called a time spread or horizontal spread is a spread trade involving the simultaneous purchase of Futures contract futures or option finance options expiring at particular date and the sale of the same instrument expiring another date. The legs of the spread vary only in expiration date they are based on the same underlying market and strike price. The usual case involves the purchase of futures or options expiring in a more distant month and the sale of futures or options in a more nearby month. Citation needed date May 2010 Uses The calendar spread can be used to attempt to take advantage of a difference in the implied volatility implied volatilities between two different months options. The trader will ordinarily implement this strategy when the options he is buying have a distinctly lower implied volatility than the options he is writing selling . In the typical version of this strategy, a rise in the overall implied volatility of a market s options during the trade will tend very strongly to be to the trader s advantage, and a decline in implied volatility will tend strongly to work to the trader s disadvantage. If the trader instead buys a nearby month s options in some underlying market and sells that same underlying market s further out options of the same striking price, this is known as a reverse calendar spread . This strategy will tend strongly to benefit from a decline in the overall implied volatility of that market s options over time.

In finance , a spread trade is the simultaneous purchase of one Security finance security and sale of a related security, called legs , as a unit. Spread trades are usually executed with option finance options or futures contracts as the legs, but other securities are sometimes used. They are executed to yield an overall net position whose value, called the spread , depends on the difference between the prices of the legs. Common spreads are priced and traded as a unit on futures exchanges rather than as individual legs, thus ensuring simultaneous execution and eliminating the execution risk of one leg executing but the other failing. Spread trades are executed to attempt to profit from the widening or narrowing of the spread, rather than from movement in the prices of the legs directly. ref Citation title Spread Order url http www.oxfordfutures.com futures education order types spread orders.htm accessdate 17 September 2009 ref Margin The volatility finance volatility of the spread is typically much lower than the volatility of the individual legs, since a change in the market fundamentals of a commodity will tend to affect both legs similarly.
