I would be very interested in understanding a little bit more on how selling option premiums is handled at institutional levels. I mean, when you see a big initial selling of a given option who are the players usually involved? Is it more often a single order order or it is combined with one or more options or with the underlying? Any pointer to resources or books that would start me on learning on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

generally with a counter party like a bank’s flow desk. Their orders are typically pre-arranged and come to the floor with a buye and seller already determined.

So if such trades are done off market then are they bought on to main exchange? if not is it just OTC trade with counter party riskcalled broker shows. the broker calls around to MMs or other institutions and gets quotes/executions
I didn't say they are done off market or OTC. I said brokers call around MMs and institutions to find interest and then execute them on some exchangeSo if such trades are done off market then are they bought on to main exchange? if not is it just OTC trade with counter party risk
