Irish Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Reading Kim’s article on Greeks. Using this example, can someone pls explain why a 5% change in the stock price (in either direction) will produce a ~25% gain? I get the other Greeks decently but not understanding this. I’m sure this has to do with delta and gamma but don’t get the math here Delta: +$4.80 Vega: +$123.80 Theta: -$43.60 Gamma:+$1.98 stock price is $493. Quote

Kim Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 The estimation was based on P/L chart. We don't need to do those calculations manually, any decent software has those P/L charts. Quote
