Exercising the option

    0.06 sec.
Exercising the option
The act of buying or selling the underlying asset via the option contract.

Exercising the option
In option contracts, the act of buying (in the case of a call) or selling (in the case of a put) the underlying asset. It is important to note that the option holder has no obligation to exercise the option, and only does so if he/she believes it benefits him/her. Depending upon the nature of the option, this may be done at any point during the life of the contract, or it may only be done on the contract's expiry date. The strike price of the sale is agreed upon in the option contract, that is, before the option is exercised.
