This is a somewhat impromptu video. I had received several questions on the calculating option greeks video regarding why the computation of theta is a bit different from the other values. The answer boils down to the units the programmers of various trading platforms choose to use to display the information. In this video, I will go over the calculation of theta and vega and explain the units used in the Black-Sholes formula and those typically used on trading platforms to display those particular greeks.
