We provide an elementary method for exploring pricing problems of one spread options within a fractional Wick–Itô–Skorohod integral framework. Its underlying assets come from two different interactive markets that are modelled by two mixed fractional Black–Scholes models with Hurst parameters, $H_{1}\neq H_{2}$, where $1/2\leq H_{i}<1$ for $i=1,2$. Pricing formulae of these options with respect to strike price $K=0$ or $K\neq 0$ are given, and their application to the real market is examined.
