... The partial derivative of f (S, X, τ, R, σ) with respect to each of its arguments is crucial in designing strategies involving options. Collectively, the partial derivatives are known as ‘the Greeks’ — gamma, theta, rho and even ‘vega’ appear, as well as delta. The meaning of each term is as follow ...

... Delta-neutral straddle implied volatility (ATMV): A straddle is a portfolio of a call & a put at the same strike. The strike here is set to make the portfolio delta-neutral ⇒ d1 = 0. 25-delta risk reversal: RR25 = IV (∆c = 25) − IV (∆p = 25). 25-delta butterfly spreads: BF25 = (IV (∆c = 25) + IV (∆p ...
