Option Contract

One unit of an option. Each option contract has precise contract specifications, which define its exact conditions, such as the underlying asset, quantity of the underlying, expiration, strike price, or exercise style.

For example, US traded stock options typically trade in contracts which represent 100 shares of the underlying stock.
