Frequently Asked Questions
What do options Greeks tell us?
Delta tells how much the option price moves per ₹1 change in the stock. Theta tells how much value is lost each day due to time decay. Vega tells how much option price changes with 1% change in implied volatility. Gamma tells how quickly delta changes.
Why does theta matter for options traders?
Theta is the daily time decay — the amount an option loses in value each day, everything else being constant. An ATM Nifty option with ₹15 theta loses ₹15 per day per lot (50 units = ₹750/day). Option sellers profit from theta; buyers fight against it.
What is a high delta options position?
A call option with Delta 0.8-1.0 (deep ITM) moves almost like the underlying stock — ₹1 rise in stock = ₹0.80-₹1 rise in option. A Delta 0.5 option (ATM) moves ₹0.50 per ₹1 underlying move. Low delta options (OTM) move slowly but cost less.
