to lose value. This does not change the fact that, for very short-term options, the theta
|
||||
is largest at-the-money.
|
||||
Normally, the theta of an individual option is of little interest to the strategist.
|
||||
He generally would be more concerned with delta or gamma. However, as with the
|
||||
other risk measures, theta can be computed for an entire portfolio of options. This
|
||||
measure, the "position theta," can be quite important because it gives the strategist
|
||||
a good idea of how much gain or loss he can expect on a daily basis, due to time ero
|
||||
sion. The following example demonstrates this point. Note that the underlying secu
|
||||
rity itself has a theta of zero, since it cannot lose any value due to time decay.
