Relationship between call and put:
For call and put transactions, they are not buyers and sellers of a certain transaction. Only the buyer and seller of the put right and the buyer and seller of the call right are the opposite sides of a transaction. There is no necessary connection between the buyers and sellers of call options and put options.
in addition to the two main forms of call right and put right, call right also has two-way options. The buyer of two-way options can buy a certain amount of certain assets from the option seller at the agreed price in a certain period of time in the future, and the call right can also sell a certain amount of certain assets to the option seller at the same price. The call right is the surplus use of the call right and the put right at the same price.
