Volatility σ

The Black-Scholes formula prices a European option from spot, strike, time, rate, and volatility. The Greeks measure sensitivity: delta to price, gamma to delta, vega to volatility, theta to time decay. Educational tool — not investment advice.

▶ Run in Python

Call price$8.01

Put price$6.03

Delta (call)0.580

Gamma0.0221

Vega (per 1%)0.276

Theta (per day)-0.024

Governing equation

C = S N (d_{1}) - K e^{- r T} N (d_{2}) = 100 \cdot 0.580 - 100 e^{- 0.020} \cdot 0.510 = $8.01

Reading this result: Spot 100 vs strike 100 makes this call at-the-money (intrinsic value 0.00). A higher volatility σ (now 25%) and a longer time to expiry (now 0.50 yr) both raise the option's value by adding time value — more room for the underlying to finish favorably. As the option moves deeper in-the-money its delta approaches 1 and it behaves like the underlying itself.

Center strike

An option strategy's payoff diagram plots profit or loss against the underlying price at expiration. Combining calls and puts at different strikes shapes the curve — capping risk, capturing volatility, or generating income. Educational tool, not investment advice.

▶ Run in Python

Max profit$5.00

Max loss$-5.00

Net debit/credit$5.00

Governing equation

Π (S) = i \sum q_{i} [max (S - K_{i}, 0)_{call}, max (K_{i} - S, 0)_{put} - p_{i}], K = 100

Reading this result: Both profit and loss are capped, so this is a defined-risk position — you trade unlimited upside for a known worst case.

Geometric Brownian motion models a price with constant drift and random volatility — the assumption behind Black-Scholes. Running hundreds of simulated paths reveals the full distribution of outcomes, not just an average. Educational tool, not investment advice.

▶ Run in Python

Data Inspector

Median outcome$0

5th percentile$0

95th percentile$0

Governing equation

S_{t + Δ t} = S_{t} e^{(0.07 - \frac{0. 2 ^{2}}{2}) Δ t + 0.2 Δ t Z}, \tilde{S}_{1} \approx $0

Reading this result: Median outcome is about $0, just under the drift-only $107 — GBM compounds in log-space, so volatility always pulls the typical path below the average.
