Option Greeks

Option Greeks

Option Greeks are an essential part of options analysis. Many traders make trades based on Greeks analysis. These are financial metrics that traders use to measure the factors that affect the price of an options contract. Greeks are utilized in the sensitivity analysis of the derivatives portfolio, option portfolio to be specific. 

There are multiple greek parameters available for analysis. However there are 5 Greeks which are widely used throughout the industry which are : 
  1. Delta- Measure of the sensitivity of the option’s price with respect to the movement in the underlying asset’s price.  
  2. Vega- Measure of the sensitivity of the option’s price with respect to the volatility of the underlying asset. 
  3. Gamma- Measure of rate of  change of Delta with respect to the movement in the underlying asset’s price. 
  4. Theta- Measure of change in price with respect to time to maturity/expiry
  5. Rho- Measure of the price sensitivity of the option with respect to the interest rates.
Using these 5 base Greeks, the user can derive more greeks and analyze them to create their own trading strategy.
