Technique: CREDIT SPREADS

What is a Credit Spread?

A credit spread is when you sell two options at the same time, which yields a net credit (positive cash) into your account. The moment you execute the trade, you receive this positive cash. Most credit spreads are monthly, which means you execute them and wait for one month before the trade is closed out. MMT specializes in WEEKLY credit spreads, in which your investment is tied up for one week or less. So, you can execute four or more weekly credit spreads in the same time period of one monthly credit spread.

Credit Spreads – Instant Cash Into Your Account

By definition, a credit spread transaction results in a net positive cash flow into your account the moment the transaction is entered. That’s why it’s called a “credit” spread. Credit spreads can be a useful risk management tool for options traders. When you trade a credit spread, you're swapping a limited amount of profit potential for the opportunity to limit risk.
