 This is an example of how to read the Debit vs Credit.
-In the upper left corner of each solver you'll see a two-way arrow icon that has either a pink or blue background. If it's pink, then everything else shown will reflect what will happen if you sell the spread.
+Looking at the below screenshot, if you sell this call spread you will collect a credit. If you buy this same call spread you will pay a debit.
+In the upper left corner of each solver you'll see a two-way arrow icon that has either a pink or blue background. If it's pink, then everything else shown will reflect what will happen if you sell the spread. For example, you would sell the 5250 Call (since it has a pink background) and buy the 5275 Call (since it has a blue background), and the trade should result in a credit (based on the Cr in the green fair value box).

+Similarly, if the arrow icon has a blue background, everything else will reflect what will happen if you buy the spread. The buys/sells of the legs are reversed and the credit flips to a debit (Dr).
