View Full Version : Formulas for Greeks (other than Delta)

Are these formulas anywhere on the formula sheet? I seem to recall that Carmody mentioned on the online seminar that they were on the formula sheet but I can only seem to find Delta and the relationship between delta, theta and Gamma.

Are they on the sheet at all or are these just something else I have to try and cram into my head?

Thanks.

I don't know that they are worth cramming. They are very easy to derive from the option pricing formula by taking the appropriate derivative.

That's BS. I want the easy way out.

I can't believe there's no formula wrt these delta, theta, etc. on the formula sheet!!!

What does Black Scholes have to do with the Greeks?

Well, if you really want the easy way out, stay a career ASA. That seems like quite an easy way out right now ;)

Well, a lot of the formulae are given using the BS derivatives pricing.
How about for rho and vega (where BS assume volatility and interest is constant)? BS.

Delta is sooooo easy to derive from the BS model..that u really don't need to memorize that at all. just take partial differential of S0 and u get it..N(D1) or -N(-D1)..
