When you sell to open (write) its a credit spread, because the buyer is paying you the premium. This is what im advising OP to do. 
  
 When you buy to open its a debit spread.

### REPLY:
Thanks, in OP's case, let's say you sell a bear call credit spread, you're limiting your downside, but also limiting your upside. I don't see how you're making more money than selling covered call. 
  
 Unless you're saying from a risk management pov where you can't blow up your account. 
  
 Edit: nevermind you have already edited the post for me to understand better.
