Our story

Backtested. Transparent. Educational.

CreditSpread.net runs two rules-based, defined-risk options-income services — Credit Spreads (on SPX & XSP) and Calendar Spreads (on XSP, QQQ, IWM, GLD, TLT). Both were put through a 21-year backtest (2005–2026) spanning every market cycle.

We publish every signal the rules produce — winners and losers — so you can judge the approach honestly. Results shown are backtested and/or paper (hypothetical), clearly labeled as such.

This is an educational service, not financial advice and not a promise of income. Options involve substantial risk; you are responsible for your own trading decisions. Backtested and hypothetical performance is not indicative of future results.

Two strategies

One engine for calm markets. One for the storms.

Most services sell one strategy that only works in one kind of market. Ours lean opposite ways on volatility — so when one faces a headwind, the other is built to help offset it. The aim is a steadier ride across market cycles, not a bet on a single outcome.

Credit Spreads

Short volatility

Built for calm or steadily rising markets

Defined-risk credit spreads on S&P 500 index options. Designed to collect premium while markets stay calm or grind higher.

SPX XSP

Calendar Spreads

Long volatility

Built for range-bound markets or rising volatility

Time-based calendar spreads across index and liquid ETF markets (equities, small caps, gold, bonds). Designed to benefit when markets chop sideways or volatility rises.

XSP QQQ IWM GLD TLT
Why these instruments: Credit Spreads run on SPX / XSP — cash-settled, deeply liquid, Section 1256 tax-advantaged. Calendar Spreads span XSP, QQQ, IWM, GLD, TLT — equities, small caps, gold and bonds — for genuine market diversification. Both are defined-risk. Educational only, not financial advice.

The process

Step by step

From signal generation to your pocket. Fully automated. Zero ambiguity.

01

Join & set up your profile

Sign up with your email address and mobile phone number — both are mandatory. Your phone receives SMS alerts instantly when a trade fires. Your email receives daily summaries, trade confirmations, and account notices. No phone number = no alerts. Takes 2 minutes.

02

Signal fires at 9:45 AM ET

Our algorithms scan the SPX options chain every 60 seconds from market open. At 9:45 AM ET — after the open volatility settles — if conditions align (VIX filter, delta filter, IV rank, time-of-day), a signal is generated automatically. No human override. No discretion.

03

Alert sent to your phone instantly

The moment our system confirms the trade, you receive an SMS and email alert with: ticker (SPX), spread strikes (e.g. STO 5200/5175P), expiry date, credit collected, entry timestamp, profit target & stop loss levels. The timestamp is proof — it arrives before the market has time to move.

04

Every signal published & timestamped

The moment a signal is generated it is published and timestamped on the public results feed — every one, winners and losers, no cherry-picking. Results shown are backtested and/or paper (hypothetical), clearly labeled. Full transparency.

05

Position monitored every 5 minutes

Our system checks every open position every 5 minutes during market hours. Two automatic exit triggers: (1) 50% profit target reached — position closed, profit locked. (2) 2x stop loss hit — position closed, loss capped. You are alerted instantly on both.

06

Exit alert sent — trade complete

When the position closes you receive a second alert: exit price, P&L, reason (profit target / stop loss / expiry). The trade is logged to the public dashboard immediately. The cycle resets for the next signal.
