Why Your Calls Lost Money When the Stock Went Up

  • Delta: how much the option moves when the stock moves, and what it says about the odds
  • Gamma: why options near expiry move so fast
  • Theta: the daily cost of holding an option, and when it speeds up
  • Vega and IV crush: how an option loses money when the stock moves your way
  • A five-question check to run before every options trade
