Theta Positive Options positions are those which benefit as a result of Theta (i.e. time decay).

Strategies which are either net Short (i.e. more contracts sold than purchased) or have a Short bias as a result of more Short contracts that are closer to the money (e.g. credit Spreads) are Theta positive.
