Delta shows sensitivity to the underlying price, gamma shows how delta itself shifts, theta shows daily time decay, vega shows sensitivity to volatility and rho shows sensitivity to interest rates. Reading them together helps traders see the risk in a position before they enter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Options Greeks look intimidating, but each one answers a single practical question: what happens to my option if the price moves, time passes or volatility changes? Once you know the five main Greeks, the option chain becomes much easier to read.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains delta, gamma, theta, vega and rho in plain language, with examples of how they behave and how traders use them to manage risk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Greeks are risk measures calculated from an options pricing model. They are named after Greek letters and tell you how sensitive the premium is to a change in one factor while the others stay the same. Brokers and option chains usually display them next to each strike price.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delta_Sensitivity_to_the_Underlying_Price\"><\/span><strong>Delta: Sensitivity to the Underlying Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Delta shows how much the option premium changes for a one-rupee move in the underlying. A call option has a delta between 0 and 1, and a put option between 0 and minus 1. A call with a delta of 0.5 gains about 50 paise for every Rs 1 rise in the underlying.<\/p>\n<p>Delta is also a rough guide to the chance of finishing in the money. At-the-money options have deltas near 0.5, deep in-the-money options move closer to 1, and far out-of-the-money options have small deltas.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gamma_How_Fast_Delta_Changes\"><\/span><strong>Gamma: How Fast Delta Changes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gamma measures the change in delta for a one-rupee move in the underlying. It is highest for at-the-money options close to expiry. High gamma means the position&#8217;s behaviour can change quickly, which is good for buyers when they are right and dangerous for sellers when they are wrong.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Theta_The_Cost_of_Time\"><\/span><strong>Theta: The Cost of Time<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Theta is the amount an option loses each day due to the passage of time. Buyers have negative theta, since they lose value daily, and sellers have positive theta, since they gain from decay. Theta speeds up in the last few days before expiry, which is why out-of-the-money options can lose value rapidly even when the price barely moves.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vega_Sensitivity_to_Volatility\"><\/span><strong>Vega: Sensitivity to Volatility<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Vega shows how much the premium changes for a one percentage point change in implied volatility. When volatility rises, option premiums usually rise, and when it falls they usually fall. Vega is higher for longer-dated options and for at-the-money strikes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Use the Univest Screener to check live fundamentals before you act on any idea.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rho_Sensitivity_to_Interest_Rates\"><\/span><strong>Rho: Sensitivity to Interest Rates<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rho measures the change in premium for a one percentage point change in interest rates. It matters least for short-dated options, so most day-to-day traders pay little attention to it. It becomes more relevant for longer expiries.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;text-align:left;background:#F0F0F0;\">Greek<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;text-align:left;background:#F0F0F0;\">Measures<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;text-align:left;background:#F0F0F0;\">Who it affects most<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Delta<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Change in premium for a Rs 1 move in the underlying<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Directional traders<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Gamma<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Change in delta for a Rs 1 move<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Near-expiry buyers and sellers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Theta<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Daily loss of value from time<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Option buyers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Vega<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Change for a 1 point change in implied volatility<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Volatility traders<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Rho<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Change for a 1 point change in interest rates<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #BBBBBB;padding:8px;\">Long-dated option holders<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_the_Greeks_in_Practice\"><\/span><strong>How to Use the Greeks in Practice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Check delta to see how much your position gains or loses per move.<\/li>\n<li>Check theta before buying options that expire in a few days.<\/li>\n<li>Watch vega around events such as results or policy meetings, when implied volatility is high.<\/li>\n<li>Use gamma awareness to size positions near expiry.<\/li>\n<li>Look at the Greeks of the whole position, not only one leg.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On a heavily traded benchmark such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-50\/nifty-50-share-price-today\">Nifty 50<\/a>, the option chain shows these values for every strike, which makes it a good place to practise reading them without risking money.<\/p>\n<p>An at the money option has the highest gamma and the most time value, which is why it reacts fastest. Good risk management means checking all five Greeks together before you place an order, and never holding a position whose theta decay you cannot afford.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limits_of_the_Greeks\"><\/span><strong>Limits of the Greeks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Greeks come from a model and assume that other factors stay fixed, which rarely happens in real markets.
