Definition

Option greeks represent the sensitivity of the price of an options contract with respect to changes in its underlying parameters. Greeks are used in risk management and hedging so that market participants can achieve their desired exposure.

Details

Exchanges report the following greeks:

  • Vega: The first derivative of the option’s price to the volatility of the underlying asset’s price.

  • Theta: The first derivative of the option’s price to the passage of time.

  • Rho: The first derivative of the option’s price to the risk free interest rate.

  • Delta: The first derivative of the option’s price to the underlying asset’s price.

  • Gamma: The second derivative of the option’s price to the underlying asset’s price.

API Endpoints

Market Greeks can be accessed using the timeseries/market-greeks endpoint.

curl --compressed "https://api.coinmetrics.io/v4/timeseries/market-greeks?markets=binance-BTCUSDT-future&limit_per_market=1&api_key=<your_key>"
import requests
response = requests.get('https://api.coinmetrics.io/v4/timeseries/market-greeks?markets=binance-BTCUSDT-future&limit_per_market=1&api_key=<your_key>').json()
print(response)
from coinmetrics.api_client import CoinMetricsClient

api_key = "<API_KEY>"
client = CoinMetricsClient(api_key)

print(
    client.get_market_greeks(
        markets=["binance-BTCUSDT-future"], limit_per_market=5
    ).to_dataframe()

Release History

A sample of the options greeks data from our API endpoint is shown below for the deribit-ETH-25MAR22-1200-P-option market.

: We expanded our options coverage to include several new data types, including market implied volatility, from Deribit and added several new API endpoints to serve this data.
