  2. Introduction Advanced trading tools like options Greeks play a pivotal role in enhancing the decision-making process for options traders. They provide a mathematical framework to measure and analyse different dimensions of risk and potential in options trading. Among these, delta, gamma, theta and vega are particularly crucial.

  3. Delta • Delta measures the rate of change in an option's price for each point of movement in the underlying asset's price. It essentially predicts how much the price of an option will change when the stock price fluctuates. This is crucial to estimate how much you can expect to gain or lose when the price of the underlying stock moves.

  4. Gamma • Gamma is related to delta. It measures the rate of change of the delta itself, so you can assess how likely it is that an option ends up as an in-the-money security. High gamma values suggest that the delta may change rapidly and react dynamically to even small movements in the underlying asset’s price. Studying this tool is essential for managing risk in dynamic market conditions.

  5. Theta • Theta quantifies the rate at which an option's value decreases over time. This is known as time decay. It's particularly important for option sellers who benefit from the erosion of the option's time value as expiration approaches. Understanding theta helps you strategize trades based on how much time value an option is likely to lose each day.

  6. Vega • Vega measures an option's sensitivity to changes in the volatility of the underlying asset. It indicates the amount by which the price of an option would increase or decrease based on a 1% change in the asset's volatility. This helps you understand and capitalize on market sentiment and anticipated price swings.
