The Building Blocks: Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega

To master options, you need to understand The Greeks. They measure how sensitive your options are to changes in stock price, time, and volatility:

• Delta: How much an option’s price changes for every $1 move in the stock.

• Gamma: The rate of change of delta.

• Theta: How much value your option loses daily (time decay).

• Vega: How much your option’s price changes with 1% change in implied volatility.
