A calendar spread is an options strategy established by simultaneously entering a long and short position on the same underlying asset but with different delivery dates.

In a typical calendar spread, one would buy a longer-term contract and go short a nearer-term option with the same strike price. A calendar spread is most profitable when the underlying asset does not make any significant moves in either direction until after the near-month option expires. Thus taking advantage of the exponential time decay on the nearer month option contract.

The purpose of the trade is to profit from the passage of time and/or an increase in implied volatility in a directionally neutral strategy.
