Delta is a measure of the sensitivity of an option’s price changes relative to the changes in the underlying asset’s price. In other words, if the price of the underlying asset increases by 1 points, the price of the option will change by delta amount.
There are various Options Greeks like: Delta, Gamma, Vega, Rho, Theta.
A complete guide on how these #Option Greeks impact option price.
Delta is a measure of the sensitivity of an option’s price changes relative to the changes in the underlying asset’s price. In other words, if the price of the underlying asset increases by 1 points, the price of the option will change by delta amount.
As the options become ITM, the value of delta tends towards +1 for call and -1 for put.
Delta is important greeks to determine the hedge ratio for investors who want to hedge their portfolio.
Gamma (Γ) is a measure of the delta’s change relative to the changes in the price of the underlying asset.
If the price of the underlying asset increases by 1 points, the option’s delta will change by the gamma amount.
Long options (call/put) have positive Gamma.
Think like this, Delta is basically the velocity and gamma is acceleration as taught in the physics.
Vega (ν) is an option Greek that measures the sensitivity of an option price relative to the volatility of the underlying asset. If the volatility of the underlying asset increases by 1%, the option price will change by the vega amount.
Rising vega is a friend of option buyers and falling vega is a friend of option sellers.
Rho (ρ) measures the sensitivity of the option price relative to interest rates and it is least significant Option Greeks because option price are less sensitive to interest rate. If an interest rate increases by 1%, the option price will change by the rho amount.
Similarly, if the interest rate decrease, then the value of the call option will fall and the value of the put option will rise.
Theta (θ) is a measure of the sensitivity of the option price relative to the option’s time to maturity. If the option’s time to maturity decreases by one day, the option’s price will change by the theta amount.
Also, the value of the option for far expiry will be more than near expiry as it has more time left for expiry.
For me, the most important Greeks are Theta and Vega, as I am an option seller.

RS basically compares returns of one stock/index with the returns of benchmark stock/index at a particular time horizon.

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.
Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.
Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.
I am quite different from your style. I follow the market's volatility very closely. I have mock positions in 7-8 different strategies which allows me to stay connected. Whichever gives best profit is usually the one i trade in.

2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.
Anilji most of the time these days Theta only falls when market moves. So the Theta actually falls where market has moved to, not where our position was in the first place. By shifting we can come close to capturing the Theta fall but not always.

3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result
He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.
This week has been great so far. The main aim is to be in the right side of the volatility, rest the market will reward.

4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega
Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
There is a difference between theta decay & fall in vega. Decay is certain but there is no guaranteed profit as delta moves can increase cost. Fall in vega on the other hand is backed by a powerful force that sells options and gives handsome returns. Our job is to identify them.
