An option writer is a trader who sells an Options contract without holding the underlying and receives premium for it. He is obligated to honor the contract and sell the underlying if the Option is exercised. Option writing is riskier than Option buying as the losses can be unlimited whereas profit is limited to premium earned from selling.
