    Which option Greek is most important for beginners?

    Delta and Theta are considered to be the most important Option Greek for beginners because it helps traders understand how much an option premium may change when the underlying stock or index moves.

    - Call Option Delta ranges from 0 to 1 

    - Put Option Delta ranges from 0 to -1

    Example:

    - A Call Option with Delta 0.4 may gain approximately ₹4 if the stock rises by ₹10. 

    - A Put Option with Delta -0.5 may lose approximately ₹5 if the stock rises by ₹10. 

    Delta also helps traders understand an option’s probability of expiring profitable and whether it is ITM, ATM, or OTM. Higher Delta generally means stronger price movement and higher sensitivity to market changes.
