Spreads
I'm looking for some information regarding spread trading.

Box's. Fly's. Whatever.

I'm not interested in trading these at the moment but I continuously hear these terms and would like to know what they are, how they are traded and how they affect someone trading outrights.

Would anyone know of a good resource to familiarize oneself with this style of trading?

www.google.com and try "spread trading" as search criteria.

There isn't really much on google. Couldn't find anything except some very basic stuff and bs courses being sold.

but for anyone who was interested, Larry Harris covers it in Market Microstructure, which I'm reading now..

You are right. Entering "spread trading" in google, returned only about 200,000 hits.
