this background is actually pretty easy on the eye.

I like to think of delta and gamma as speed and acceleration:

Delta = the current rate of change - similar to speed (m/s)

Gamma = the rate of change of delta, similar to the change in speed I.e. acceleration (m/s/s)

I think we're doing pretty good with Greek letters at this point in 2022 lol

I will go out on a limb here and say that most options traders I've met don't know much about "the greeks". :D

[celestema]

Would love to see a video on how implied volatility is calculated

[RaphaelRRangel]

Good explanation and I loved the puns! lol

[Slime_Head]

Super helpful video! I've heard the term before in my current job, but since I work on the tech side of finance, I didn't really know what these different measures meant.

[moesadr]

Can they be used to filter and find good options to trade? Anyone knows any tools or guide lines on how to use Options Greeks for entering a trade either long or short? Kind of what values to look for in each or all of them to enter or exit a trade?

[noobyfromhell]

So traders wanted to use first and second derivatives but gave them complicated-sounding names, and they renamed nu to vega because it looks like a v…

[Tsakaman]

I always find it funny that the symbol for Vega is actually called ni in Greek and more closely resembles n in sound.

One tiny correction, not to the substance but to your sponsor message- "Deutsch" means German, not Dutch :D (Dutch in Dutch is "Nederlands")
