American Approximation Bjerksund & Stensland 2002 [Loxx] is an American Options pricing model. This indicator also includes numerical greeks. You can compare the output of the American Approximation to the Black-Scholes-Merton value on the output of the options panel.
The Bjerksund & Stensland (2002) Approximation The Bjerksund and Stensland (2002) approximation divides the time to maturity into two parts, each with a separate flat exercise boundary. It is thus a straightforward generalization of the Bjerksund-Stensland 1993 algorithm. The method is fast and efficient and should be more accurate than the Barone-Adesi and Whaley (1987) and the Bjerksund and Stensland (1993b) approximations. The algorithm requires an accurate cumulative bivariate normal approximation. Several approximations that are described in the literature are not sufficiently accurate, but the Genze algorithm works.

Numerical Greeks or Greeks by Finite Difference Analytical Greeks are the standard approach to estimating Delta, Gamma etc... That is what we typically use when we can derive from closed form solutions. Normally, these are well-defined and available in text books. Previously, we relied on closed form solutions for the call or put formulae differentiated with respect to the Black Scholes parameters. When Greeks formulae are difficult to develop or tease out, we can alternatively employ numerical Greeks - sometimes referred to finite difference approximations. A key advantage of numerical Greeks relates to their estimation independent of deriving mathematical Greeks. This could be important when we examine American options where there may not technically exist an exact closed form solution that is straightforward to work with. (via VinegarHill FinanceLabs)
