Occasionally I come across some items not exactly related to trading credit spreads but to the markets or other areas of trading that I think you should learn about. This is one of those things. It is a list of stock trading videos put together by one of my friends on his website - Trading Course Online
Here is his video list on Option Trading - Options Trading Guide
And his video list on Stock Trading - Stock Trading Guide
Check them out you will be glad you did as they give excellent insight to trading.

Here is a good explanation of why we should start looking for a bullish market to return, just based on technical analysis…
Technical Analysis - Technical analysis based on the McClellan oscillator helps me better separate periods of the bullish and bearish mood on the stock market. Recently we saw advancing McClellan Oscillator and that tells that we may face the reversal …
And his explanation specifically for the S&P 500…
S&P 500 - As you may see from these posts, time on time I refer to the big time-frame of the S&P 500 chart in order to evaluate longer term of the stock market trend. Those who read my posts may notice that over the last 3 months I have been somewhat aggressive about the recovery. I know that many of big and small traders were bearish that time (thanks to the media) and maybe skeptically looked at my bullish posts.

Found another website with a good explanation of option spreads called the Option Insider
I really like his explanation on how to remember what to sell and what to buy when trading spreads. It is easy to remember and something i never thought of…
The risk/reward characteristics of the spread will depend on the price and the strike prices of the options you buy and the options you write. You have all heard “buy low, sell high if you are bullish.” This adage can help you remember how to structure your spreads.
Bullish: Buy Low and Sell High. In a bull spread, the investor simultaneously buys the lower strike call (or put), and sells the higher strike call (or put).
Bearish: Buy High and Sell Low. In a bear spread, the investor simultaneously buys the higher strike call (or put) and sells the lower strike call (or put).
The site is very well done. It still has option jargon that is difficult to understand for the newbie but even on my blog here the same thing applies. We can’t always cater to the newbie, at some point in time you are just going to have to learn the language of options if you want to learn how to trade them properly.
For those of you with trouble learning the jargon I will recommend - Investopedia for all your answers. Just type in the word you do not understand into the search function at the top of the site, hit enter, and it will spit a list of possibilities of answers.
Back to the Option Insider - he has a three part series going on giving a good basic overview on trading option spreads and the differences and similarities between credit spreads and debit spreads. Good blog - Check it out —> Option Insider

Check this out - Schaffers Research is getting into the act about credit spreads. Here they posted a credit spread about Walmart in their explanation.
They also have an educational video describing exactly what a credit spread is.
Check it out here –> Option Basics: What is a Credit Spread?
Before I started trading credit spreads this was one of the companies I looked to for education. they have come a long way as have I in their education formats. They are using a lot of video now and you can find a lot of it on You Tube. If you do not want to do the searching yourself for some of the better educational videos they have on option trading you can check out my favorites page on YouTube
