Concept of the Week

Time Decay (Theta)

Theta measures how much an option loses value as time passes, assuming all other factors remain constant.

• Option buyers lose value every day due to time decay.
• Option sellers often benefit from Theta, especially when the market is range-bound.
• Time decay accelerates as expiry approaches, particularly during the final week.

Key Takeaway: Time is an asset for option sellers and a cost for option buyers.
