AAPL Call Option Analysis

Your Scenario:

  • Considering buying a $240 AAPL call
  • Current AAPL price: $238
  • Call price: $2.50
  • 30 days to expiration

Theoretical Greeks (Black-Scholes, ≈12.5% IV implied by the $2.50 price, zero rate, per share):

  • Delta 0.41: If AAPL moves $1, your call moves about $0.41
  • Gamma 0.046: If AAPL moves up $1, delta becomes about 0.46
  • Theta -$0.055/day: Time decay costs you about $0.055 per day
  • Vega +$0.27 per 1% IV: If IV rises 1%, call worth about $0.27 more

These are the calculator's default inputs above, so you can change one value and watch each Greek move.

Decision: Bullish on AAPL , time decay manageable , IV potential to Buy the call

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

What does delta = 0.5 mean?

Your option is equivalent to owning 50 shares. If stock goes up $1, your call goes up ~$0.50. If stock down $1, your call down ~$0.50.

Can delta be negative?

Yes, for puts. Delta ranges 0 to -1 for puts. Delta -0.5 on a put means it moves $0.50 for every $1 stock move, in the opposite direction.

What's high gamma vs low gamma?

High gamma = delta changes fast when stock moves. Risk if stock moves against you, benefit if it moves for you. Low gamma = delta barely changes.

Is negative theta always bad?

Only if you're long options. If you're short options, negative theta = positive theta for you. Short options profit from time decay.

When should I care about vega?

When you expect IV to change. Buy options before earnings (expect IV spike). Sell options when IV is high (expect IV crush).
