none calendar spread
A calendar spread involves selling a shorter-term option and buying a longer-term option with the same strike price. The ideal scenario is for the underlying asset to trade near the strike price, allowing the short-term option to expire worthless while the long-term option retains value. The risk is limited to the debit paid for the spread, and the potential reward is typically between 20% to 50% of that debit. This strategy is low-risk and low-reward, making it suitable for learning purposes.
