calendar spreads
A futures calendar spread, or futures intra-delivery spread, is the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same futures contract, but different contract months - for example, buying a September S&P 500® futures contract and selling a December S&P 500 futures contract. An options calendar spread is the simultaneous purchase and sale of options of the same strike, but different expiration dates. Chicago Mercantile Exchange Glossary
