Theta (Θ) represents the rate of decay of an option over time. In particular, it describes how much the value of an option changes each day as the expiry date approaches. Options tend to lose value as the expiry date approaches, so theta is usually a negative number.

As the expiration date approaches, theta increases as the time remaining to make a profit on the option decreases.
