Options Trading... When entering a CREDIT SPREAD such as Bull Put or Bear Call spread

Shhhhh

New member
the margin requirement? is the difference between the 2 strikes... so for instance buy $37.50PUT, sell $40PUT... Margin required is $250 per contract.

Assuming the above is correct... How does the debit spread work? Assume instead of taking the above position as a credit put spread, I chose to do a Bull Call spread, buying the $37.50CALL and selling the $40 CALL. for a net debit of $1.45...

Is there a margin requirement in that case? and if yes what would it be?


Thank you all
