Mastering Option Greeks is a necessity for effective trading. The Greeks - delta, gamma, theta, and - are measurements of option properties. Essentially they allow traders to determine how sensitive a specific trade is to price fluctuations of the underlying instrument, volatility fluctuations, and the passage of time. Former floor trader Dan Passarelli explains the Greeks in a straightforward, non-academic fashion. He then shows how the Greeks can be used to facilitate trading strategies that seek to profit from volatility, time decay, or changes in interest rates. The new edition will be completely updated, with fresh examples. Moreover, new material will be added on new options products, including weekly options, quarterly options, VIX options, and currency options.
