What is the Delta of an option?
The change in the option value with respect to a change in spot price.
DELTA = Change in option value / Change in stock price
What is the GAMMA of an option?
The change in the option delta for a given change in the spot price. It is the change in DELTA for a 1% change in the Spot price.
What is the Theta of an option?
If an option is worth 20 dollars today, all things being equal, it will be worth slightly less tomorrow. That incremental difference from one day to the next is THETA or TIME DECAY. THETA is the change in price of an option for a 1 day move in time.
