Introduction
Calendar spread is a non-directional, neutral and low risk strategy. It involves executing a long and short position on the same underlying with different expiry dates simultaneously. The calendar spread option strategy is one of the finest methods to use during any market conditions to reduce the risk of market volatility. They are a great way to combine the advantages of spreads and directional options trades in the same position.
Depending on how an investor implements this strategy, they can assume either:
- A market-neutral position that can be rolled out a few times to pay the cost of the spread while taking advantage of time decay
- A short-term market-neutral position with a longer-term directional bias equipped with unlimited gain potential
Either way, the trade can provide many advantages that a plain vanilla call or put cannot provide on its own.
