Coefficient that measures the variation of the delta of an option when the price of the underlying asset varies in one unit. A covered position with a gamma close to zero which immunises against the changes in the price of the asset. 2, record 1, English, - gamma
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Some option traders attempt to construct "gamma-neutral" positions in options (long and short) such that the delta of the overall position remains unchanged for small changes in the price of the underlying instrument. Using this method writers can produce a fairly constant delta and avoid the transactions costs involved in purchasing and selling the underlying as its price changes. 2, record 1, English, - gamma

Coefficient qui mesure la variation du delta d'une option avec une variation d'une unité dans le prix de l'actif sous-jacent. Une position couverte à l'aide d'une gamme proche de zéro qui limite les effets des grands changements dans le prix de l'actif. 2, record 1, French, - gamma
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le gamma représente la sensibilité du delta à changer de valeur quand le support change d'une unité de prix : on ajoute ou on soustrait le gamma au delta pour avoir approximativement le delta correspondant au nouveau prix du support. 3, record 1, French, - gamma

Design values : Values obtained by multiplying the representative values by partial coefficients [gamma subscript f]. If the partial coefficient [gamma subscript f] is resolved into various factors, it is necessary to state in each case the coefficient which has been taken into account. In certain cases, the design value is obtained by applying additive or subtractive elements. 2, record 2, English, - design%20value
