Shows the speed in the incerease in the premium of the options as option moves ITM
Important points for Delta
As the expiry comes closer delta of ATM moves closer to 0.5, OTM to 0 and ITM to 1
sum of Abs values of call and put deltas of same strike will always be 1
Every option has its unique delta as the inputs are different and hence it’s a dynamic number not static. You change the input t
Future has 1 delta
Buying calls means Long Delta, selling calls means short delta
Buying puts means short delta and selling puts means long delta
Volatility/ Vega

Impact of the Volatility change will be highest at?
Behaviour of Vega:
Longer the maturity the higher will be the VEGA and hence the impact of Volatiliy will be higher. At maturity Vega is almost zero
While delta impacts the intrinsic value, VEGA impacts the time value of the option
VEGA is always positive. It means increase is favourable to option_____and not favourale to option____?
Buy call or Buy puts means VEGA long or Long Volatlity and Sell Call and Sell put means Short Vega or short volatility
Future VEGA is always 0
Can a Future long plus Long put can be VEGA neutral?

Theta highest at?
Theta is favourable for option___and unfavourable for option____
Both puts and calls have ______Theta
Buying calls and puts means theta negative and selling calls and puts means theta positive
Theta is at peak at ATM option and decreases as spot moves away from ATM
Behaviour of theta w.r.t Volatility
Higher the Volatility higher will be the premium of the option and hence higher will be the theta decay

How the theta of OTM will behave w.r.t time?
Call Sell & Put Sell -Theta will be positive for the seller
Call Buy and Put Buy -Theta will be negative for the buyer
If our position theta is positive, to make it theta neutral we have to _____options (Buy or Sell)?
If our position theta is negative, to make it theta neutral we have to _____options (Buy or Sell)?
Excercises
1. open Option oractle and make a Bull spread to understand the combined effects of Delta, Vega and theta
2. Build an option strategy and understand the impact on expected returns if market inputs change.
Option strategies
1- Gamma short strategy
Gamma short itself means- Selling options- because gamma itself is a positive number so selling gamma means selling options
Sell one slight OTM put
Sell One OTM call based on the delta of the put to make it delta neutral
Buy one deep OTM call and put - weekly option to make the strategy delta neutral and hedged all the times to avoid any big Ga
Objective
The objective of the strategy is to earn only TV and it is direction neutral
Delta is our enemy as we are gamma short which means any change in delta is against us (any change up or down)- So we wa
Vega will give us gain if Volatility comes down as we are Vega short, But we will loose if Volatility goes up
Theta is positive and hence we will gain as time passes by
Adjustment Required
Delta range            +/- 10 for 1 lot size is ok to handle, a reasonable price movement should be there to make it delta neutra
Switch the positions as delta changes and make it again delta neutral
Stop loss
Stop out one leg if the delta of any option leg approaches to more than 0.6 or the premium got more than double from your leve
Make the position again delta neutral based upon the delta of the other position left
How can we neutralise the delta
1. Buy future or stock
2. Buy options- this will have double benefit, hedge and delta netrual
Another Version of the strategy
Low Delta Short Gamma
We know far OTM has low delta
and short gamma means short options
So strategy is to sell far OTM options
With an uderstanding that theta decay of Far OTM will be higher in % terms
