Option Pricing: The Greeks
Option pricing is influenced by various factors known as Greeks:

Delta: Measures how much the option price changes for a ₹1 move in the underlying.

Gamma: Measures how much Delta changes for a ₹1 move.

Theta: Measures time decay — how much the option loses value each day.

Vega: Measures sensitivity to volatility.

Rho: Measures sensitivity to interest rates.

Time decay and volatility are crucial. OTM options lose value faster as expiry nears.

For Beginners:
Buying Calls: Bullish on the stock/index.
