Capped Call

A long call position with a maximum payout-analogous in structure to a vertical bull spread position or an equity risk reversal. The terms under which the cap is exercised and the maximum call value may vary in different contracts and markets and should be checked carefully. Compare with Floored Put. See, for example, Bull Spread, Capped Index Options (CAPS) for payoff diagrams.
