10.1.3 Theta

One of the most important reasons for traders and investors to sell options is to benefit from the time decay. In other words, you sell an option in return for a premium and want the premium locked in as quickly as possible. 

The theta is the rate of time-decay in the value of an option or basically, it’s premium.
