Option Greeks are metrics that measure how an option's price responds to changes in market factors within the securities market. They are essential for understanding risks and returns in options trading, especially for exchange-traded products:

• Delta (Δ): Shows how much an option's price changes for a $1 move in the underlying asset (e.g., a Delta of 0.5 means a $0.50 move per $1).
• Gamma (Γ): Measures the rate of change in Delta, indicating Delta's stability.
• Theta (Θ): Reflects time decay, showing how an option's value decreases as expiration nears.
• Vega (ν): Indicates sensitivity to a 1% change in implied volatility.

Consult a stock broker to understand how these metrics impact your trading strategy, and always review documents carefully before investing.
