[TheOptionClub.com] Translating from the Greek

 

Can somebody tell me why traders don't use percentages instead of Greeks when dealing with individual positions - or maybe translate the Greeks into percentages of the underlying or the investment. For example, if I have an iron condor with a margin of $1,600, isn't it more informative to express the delta as a percentage of this margin, rather than as a dollar number?
