call.price()  ## 6.2345
call.delta()  ## 0.7594
call.vomma()  ## 45.1347

Put Example

from blackscholes import Black76Put
put = Black76Put(F=55, K=50, T=1, r=0.0025, sigma=0.15)
put.price()  ## 1.2470

from blackscholes import BlackScholesStraddleLong

straddle = BlackScholesStraddleLong(S=55, K=50, T=1.0,
                                    r=0.0025, sigma=0.15)
