Option Theoretical Value

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Option Theoretical Value. Theoretical value looks at variability of the price. The longer until exercise the more this will vary. the more likely it is to finish in the money, the more I am likely to pay for it. But meanwhile, I also have to look at the current value - the amount I would pay for the thing. Any change would be a cost to me.

Fair Value is the amount I would spend in maintaining a neutral hedge.
