平值且临近到期时，Gamma 会发生什么？

Γ=∂2f∂S2\Gamma = \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial S^2}

Question: At-the-money, near expiry, what happens to gamma?

解析

当 S≈KS\approx K 且 τ→0\tau\to 0 时，

Γ=∂2f∂S2→∞.\Gamma=\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial S^2} \to \infty.

直觉：到期附近 delta 会在很窄的价格区间里从接近 0 快速跳到接近 1，因此二阶敏感度很大。远离平值时 Γ\Gamma 接近 0。

Original Explanation

Gamma Γ→∞\Gamma\to\infty as τ→0\tau\to0 if S≈K.S\approx K. Because Δ\Delta transitions rapidly from near 0 to 1. Far from K,K, Γ\Gamma is near 0.
