<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Gamma is the rate of change in an option's delta per 1-point move in the underlying asset's price. Gamma is an important measure of the convexity of a derivative's value, in relation to the underlying.</div> | |||
The Option Gamma indicator plots the option's Greek Gamma risk value which is based on the asset's price series. The indicator requires the option data to be specified in in Input values (expiration month, expiration year, strike price, etc). Gama shows the expected change of option delta which is based on price changes in the underlying asset. | The Option Gamma indicator plots the option's Greek Gamma risk value which is based on the asset's price series.
