Cryptocurrency futures spread trading and basis trading are types of market-neutral strategies where the investors seek to profit from the change in the price differences between two futures contracts.

Spreads can be categorized as intramarket spreads and intermarket spreads.

Intramarket spreads, also referred to as calendar spreads, involve buying a futures contract with delivery date in one month while simultaneously selling the contract on the same underlying asset with the delivery date in a different month.

Calendar spread traders are primarily focused on changes in the relationship between the two contract months. The goal of this strategy is to take advantage of those changes. In most cases, there will be a loss in one leg of the spread, but a profit in the other leg. If the calendar spread is successful, the gain in the profitable leg will outweigh the loss in the losing leg.
