options have zero intrinsic value. The intrinsic value of an option can never be negative.
Della
‘The most important of the ‘Greeks’ is the option’s is “Delta”. This measures the sensitivity of the
option value to a given small change in the price of the underlying asset. It may also be seen as
the speed with which an option moves with respect to price of the underlying asset. Delta =
‘Change in option premium/ Unit change in price of the underlying asset. Delta for call option
buyer is positive. This means that the value of the contract increases as the share price rises. For
example, with respect to call options, a deta of 0.6 means that for every Rs.1 the underlying stock ;
increases, the call option will increase by Rs 0.60
ut option deltas, on the other hand, will be negative, because as the underlying security
increases, the value of the option will decrease. So a put option with a delta of -0.6 will decrease
by Rs.0.60 for every Rs 1 the underlying increases in price. i
‘The knowledge of delta is of vital importance for option traders because this parameter is heavily,’
used in margining and risk management strategies.
