How Does the “Greeks” Help Options Traders Manage Risk?

The "Greeks" are a set of risk measures that quantify the sensitivity of an option's price to changes in various underlying factors. Delta measures price sensitivity to the underlying asset's price; Gamma measures Delta's rate of change; Theta measures time decay; and Vega measures sensitivity to volatility.

Traders use these values to hedge their positions and manage portfolio risk exposure.
