Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the main advantage of spread trading over single options?
A: Spreads offer defined risk, reduced capital requirements, lower greek exposure, and better probability of profit. They're less affected by IV changes and time decay compared to single options.
Q: Should I use same expiry or different expiries for spreads?
A: Same expiry creates vertical spreads (directional bets). Different expiries create calendar/diagonal spreads (volatility plays). Beginners should start with vertical spreads.
Q: How wide should my strikes be for optimal risk/reward?
A: Strike width depends on volatility and capital. Wider spreads offer higher profit potential but require more capital. Start with 2-3 strike widths and adjust based on market conditions.
Q: What's the best market condition for spread trading?
A: Credit spreads excel in high IV environments with range-bound markets. Debit spreads work best when expecting directional moves with IV expansion. Match strategy to market conditions.
Important Risk Disclosure
Options spread trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. While spreads offer defined risk compared to naked options, they can still result in 100% loss of capital invested. The multi-leg nature of spreads increases transaction costs and assignment risk. Early assignment on short legs can create undefined risk situations. Margin requirements for credit spreads can be substantial and may increase during volatile markets. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always understand the maximum loss potential, margin requirements, and all associated risks before implementing spread strategies.

Consider consulting with a qualified financial advisor before trading complex options strategies.
