Overview

You can build both spreads. Now - which one?

You've learned to sell a credit spread for income and to buy a debit spread for direction. Then you sit down to trade and hit the question no book answers: which one - right now, for the market in front of you?

Reach for the wrong engine and you fight the conditions the entire trade - selling cheap premium into a dead-calm market, or overpaying for direction when options are priced for panic. Credit or Debit? turns the two strategies into a single decision.

You'll learn to read two simple inputs - your market view and the implied-volatility regime - run them through one clear decision tree, and reach for the structure the conditions are actually paying for.

Inside you'll learn how to:

  • Read the IV regime as the master switch between selling and buying options
  • Turn your market view and conviction into a specific structure choice
  • Resolve the hard cases - when direction and volatility disagree
  • Use one decision tree to pick bull put, bear call, bull call, bear put - or sit out
  • Compare the same trade idea priced both ways, with real worked examples
  • Size, manage, and switch engines as the market changes

With plain-English explanations, side-by-side worked comparisons from real historical data, and a one-page decision matrix you can use on your next trade, this is the short, practical framework that ties defined-risk options trading together.

Book 3 of The Defined-Risk Options Library. Reads great on its own - and completes the system you started in Book 1 (Credit Spreads Made Simple) and Book 2 (Debit Spreads Made Simple).
