A credit spread is an options trading strategy that generates income by selling a higher-premium option and buying a lower-premium option, limiting risk. Ideal in high-volatility markets, it leverages probabilities for high success rates. With defined risk-reward, credit spreads suit traders seeking consistent profits while managing market uncertainty effectively
