Lesson 3.5: Application of Greeks in Option Trading
Michael Gustin July 5, 2023
Understanding the Greeks is essential for risk management in options trading:
– **Delta** is used for hedging and to anticipate changes in the option’s price given changes in the underlying’s price.
– **Gamma** is important when assessing the stability of your portfolio against price changes in the underlying.
– **Theta** is essential for those who employ time decay strategies or those who want to avoid the detrimental effects of time decay.
– **Vega** is useful for those who trade straddles, strangles, and calendar spreads, where the main profit engine is not necessarily the direction of the underlying but the amount of volatility.
– **Rho** is typically used by risk managers who are trying to hedge their interest rate risk or by large institutions.
Remember, the Greeks provide an advanced method to gauge the risk associated with different options positions and can help traders make more informed decisions.
