What Is the Practical Application of Vega for an Option Trader?

Vega measures an option's sensitivity to changes in the underlying asset's volatility. A high Vega means the option's price will rise significantly if implied volatility increases.

Traders use Vega to manage their exposure to volatility changes, either betting on or hedging against future volatility shifts.
