calendar spread

A common use of the calendar spread is to "roll over" an expiring position into the future.

The calendar spread can be used to attempt to take advantage of a difference in the implied volatilities between two different months' options.

This is also called a time spread, a horizontal spread, an intermonth spread, an interdelivery spread or a calendar spread.
