## Name

opt_bs_vega --

## Synopsis

    opt_bs_bega(strike,price,volatility,days_to_maturity,rate)

## Description

Uses the Black-Scholes model to calculate the "vega" of a European option struck at @strike on an asset with price @price.

(The vega of an option is the rate of change of its price with respect to volatility, and is the same for calls and puts.)

@volatility is the annualized volatility, in percent, of the asset for the period through to the exercise date. @days_to_maturity the number of days to exercise, and @rate is the risk-free interest rate to the exercise date, in percent.

The returned value will be expressed as the rate of change of option value, per 100% volatilty.
