Written call
A call option considered from the point of view of the writer who, in exchange for a premium paid by the holder for the risk assumed, commits to deliver the underlying at the request of the holder at the price specified for the exercise of the option.
The writer, who anticipates that the price of the underlying will fall or remain relatively stable, does not expect the holder to exercise its option.
