Defines the greeks

delta

delta: float

Gets the delta.

Delta measures the rate of change of the option value with respect to changes in the underlying asset'sprice. (∂V/∂S)

gamma

gamma: float

Gets the gamma.

Gamma measures the rate of change of Delta with respect to changes in the underlying asset'sprice. (∂²V/∂S²)

vega

vega: float

Gets the vega.

Vega measures the rate of change of the option value with respect to changes in the underlying's volatility. (∂V/∂σ)

theta

theta: float

Gets the theta.

Theta measures the rate of change of the option value with respect to changes in time. This is commonly known as the 'time decay.' (∂V/∂τ)

rho

rho: float

Gets the rho.

Rho measures the rate of change of the option value with respect to changes in the risk free interest rate. (∂V/∂r)

Lambda

Lambda: float

Gets the lambda.

Lambda is the percentage change in option value per percentage change in the underlying's price, a measure of leverage. Sometimes referred to as gearing. (∂V/∂S ✕ S/V)

lambda_

lambda_: float

Gets the lambda.

Lambda is the percentage change in option value per percentage change in the underlying's price, a measure of leverage. Sometimes referred to as gearing. (∂V/∂S ✕ S/V)

theta_per_day

theta_per_day: float

Gets the theta per day.

Theta measures the rate of change of the option value with respect to changes in time. This is commonly known as the 'time decay.' (∂V/∂τ)
