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
