I believe this article is confused about leverage. The general use of the term leverage in finance refers to the use of debt in acquiring a position in a security. The use of leverage will increase the volatility of the price relative to the equity position, but this article suggests that leverage is a relationship between the volatility the stock and the level of the price. The description in this article appears to accurately reflect the parameter gamma, but I don't believe it is the term "leverage" is generally used in finance.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:18, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
