It is very important for Traders and Investors to understand the difference between Positive and Negative Gamma when trading any asset, because these gamma conditions can significantly impact their investment strategies and risk exposure.
Gamma is one of the Greeks used in options pricing and risk management, and it measures how the delta of an options position changes in response to movements in the underlying asset’s price.
Positive and Negative Gamma become more relevant if we look at how Market Makers need to hedge in different conditions.
