概要

This eCourse consists of two modules on Delta and Gamma. Delta and gamma are key measures of option sensitivity that are crucial in option portfolio management and hedging. Module 1 provides an overview of the different approaches to measuring delta and gamma, including the Black-Scholes model, binomial option pricing model, and Monte Carlo simulation.

Module 2 looks at how delta and gamma are used to estimate option prices and to hedge option portfolios. The role of delta and gamma in straddle trades is also examined in detail.
