Instructions

Note: If uv is not installed or pyproject.toml is not found, replace uv run python with python in all commands below.

uv run python scripts/greeks.py --spot SPOT --strike STRIKE --type call|put [--expiry YYYY-MM-DD | --dte DTE] [--price PRICE] [--date YYYY-MM-DD] [--vol VOL] [--rate RATE]

Arguments

--spot - Underlying spot price (required)
--strike - Option strike price (required)
--type - Option type: call or put (required)
--expiry - Expiration date YYYY-MM-DD (use this OR --dte)
--dte - Days to expiration (alternative to --expiry)
--date - Calculate as of this date instead of today (YYYY-MM-DD)
--price - Option market price (for IV calculation)
--vol - Override volatility as decimal (e.g., 0.30 for 30%)
--rate - Risk-free rate (default: 0.05)

Output

Returns JSON with:

spot - Underlying spot price
strike - Strike price
days_to_expiry - Days until expiration
iv - Implied volatility (calculated from market price)
greeks - delta, gamma, theta, vega, rho

Examples

# With expiry date and market price (calculates IV)
uv run python scripts/greeks.py --spot 630 --strike 600 --expiry 2026-05-15 --type call --price 72.64

# With DTE directly
uv run python scripts/greeks.py --spot 630 --strike 600 --dte 30 --type call --price 40

# As of a future date
uv run python scripts/greeks.py --spot 630 --strike 600 --expiry 2026-05-15 --date 2026-03-01 --type call --price 50
