Calculating "The Greeks" for options


relig

Question

Hi - I am interested in index options (mainly the Dow/S&P500/Nasdaq) and I would find it useful to have information on "The Greeks", the ratios and percentages that options traders use when trading i.e. delta, gamma, theta. Other platforms that are more options-oriented have these built in but I can understand that this is not something that IG want to put in to their platform - and I can understand why because I imagine that it's quite a niche thing for their client base.

 

However, I wondered if anybody here is pulling options prices through the API and calculating the numbers themselves using a spreadsheet or some other app - the relevant formulas for the calculations are all out there on the web. I see that there are some sample apps in the API library but I don't have Excel because I use Libre Office Calc for my fairly basic spreadsheet needs, but I guess it could be done if you can hack the LibreCalc programming.

 

If anybody has tried this or has any thoughts or insight, I'd be interested to hear them.

 

Thanks.

 

R.

    • I agree this is the perfect time to dca on many token. I see $Floki as the next top meme considering the armies behind it. Also $BGB, $ORDI, $Doge, $Shib, and ADA are among my top watchlist 
    • That's our hopes & I believe WAGMI cos I did also participate in the pre-trade at Bitget. Just get your Exchange's HMSTR address on your app with the memo then input for on-chain withdrawal.
    • The crypto market is buzzing with activity, and both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are making waves. Let’s break down the latest movements in their prices and what’s driving these changes. Bitcoin Price Update Bitcoin's price surge: BTC is now trading at $60,172, marking a 4.21% jump over the past 24 hours. Intraday performance: Bitcoin hit a low of $57,650.11 and a high of $60,656.72 today. ETF inflows: Bitcoin ETF inflows have risen to $263.07 million as of September 14. This influx of capital seems to be supporting BTC’s price surge. Market dominance: Bitcoin’s dominance increased by 0.37%, now standing at 56.56%. Market cap: Bitcoin's overall market capitalization has hit $1.19 trillion, reinforcing its leading position in the crypto world. Ethereum Price Update Ethereum’s rise: ETH price has climbed nearly 3% in the past 24 hours and is currently priced at $2,422, as per Coinpedia markets Intraday range: The second-largest cryptocurrency saw a low of $2,338.14 and a high of $2,462.80. ETF inflows: Ethereum ETFs have also seen positive inflows, with $1.52 million added as of September 14. Market cap: Ethereum’s total market cap now stands at $292.89 billion. Expert Insights: A Shift in Market Behavior? Crypto analyst ALI has shared some interesting data about the market activity of Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to ALI: Capital exiting BTC and ETH: Around $2.6 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum has exited the market in the past week. This may be due to sluggish price action, suggesting that some investors are shifting to other altcoins. A possible altcoin pump: Despite the recent outflows, the total market cap has rebounded to $2 trillion, leading many to believe that a major pump may be on the horizon—not just for Bitcoin, but for altcoins as well. What’s Next for the Crypto Market? It looks like the crypto market could be gearing up for a strong rally. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are seeing solid price movements, and with ETF inflows rising, investor confidence appears to be high. If the market continues to stabilize above the $2 trillion mark, we could see even more bullish activity in the coming days.
