Vega Explained – How Volatility Impacts Option Prices (Yiddish)

In this lesson, I explain Vega — the Greek that measures how much option prices move when volatility changes.

Most people don’t realize that options can lose or gain value even when the stock doesn’t move — just because implied volatility changes. That’s why understanding Vega is critical if you want to stop gambling and start trading responsibly.

You’ll learn:

- What Vega actually means

- Why options can lose value after earnings even when the stock doesn’t move

- How long-term options react differently than short-term ones

- Why option sellers love high volatility

- How to avoid falling into the "volatility trap"

❗ Disclaimer: Options trading involves risk. Most traders lose money. Do not trade options if you don’t fully understand what you’re doing.
