Vertical Spread

A vertical spread involves the simultaneous buying and selling of options of the same type (puts or calls) and expiry, but at different strike prices.

This is in contrast to a calendar spread, which is the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same option type with the same strike price, but different expiration dates.
