Introduction To Greeks

For a successful options trade, there are a number of forces which have to work in the favour of the trader. These forces are called ‘The Option Greeks’. These forces influence the option prices in real time. These forces not only affect the premiums but also affect each other.

The sensitivity of option premium to each of these factors is known as Option Greeks. 

These Greeks are Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega and Rho. Option Greeks gives us a thorough understanding of a portfolio’s position. We have already learnt the basics of the Option Greeks in our Basics of Options Module. Let us now elaborate on the same.
