Course Overview:

Third in the series, this module presents detailed explanations and examples of Time Spreads.

The following spreads are covered in this module:

Long Call Time Spread
The long call time spread is a spread made up of call options on the same underlying stock (or index). It’s constructed by purchasing a call with a farther-term expiration and at the same time selling (writing) a call with a nearer-term expiration but with the same strike price.
Long Put Time Spread
The long put time spread is a spread made up of put options on the same underlying stock (or index). It’s constructed by purchasing a put with a farther-term expiration and at the same time selling (writing) a put with a nearer-term expiration but with the same strike price.

Each Spread discussion includes an analysis of:

- Break Even Points at Near-Term Expiration
