854 Part VI: Measuring and Trading Volatility
Example: With XYZ at 49, assume the January 50 call has a delta of 0.50 and a
gamma of 0.05. If XYZ moves up one point to 50, the delta of the call will increase
by the amount of the gamma: It will increase from 0.50 to 0.55.
As with the delta, the gamma can also be expressed as a percentage. But in this
case, the increase or decrease applies to the delta.
Example: Again, with XYZ at 49, assume the January 50 call has a delta of 0.50 and a
gamma of 0.05. If XYZ moves up 2 points to 51, the delta of the call will increase by
5% of the stock rrwve, because the gamma is 0.05, or 5 percent. Five percent of the
stock move is 0.05 x 2, or 0.10. Thus, the delta will increase by 0.10, from 0.50 to 0.60.
Obviously, the delta cannot keep increasing by 0.05 each time XYZ gains anoth­
er point in price, for it will eventually exceed 1.00 by that calculation, and it is known
that the delta has a maximum of 1.00. Thus, it is obvious that the gamma changes. In
general, the gamma is at its maximum point when the stock is near the strike of the
option. As the stock moves away from the strike in either direction, the gamma
decreases, approaching its minimum value of zero.
Conceptually, this means that a deeply in-the-money or deeply out-of-the­
money option has a gamma of nearly zero. This makes sense - it implies that the delta
of a deep in- or deep out-of-the-money option does not change very much at all, even
if the stock moves by one point.
Example: Assume XYZ is 25, and the January 50 call has a delta of virtually zero. If
XYZ moves up one point to 26, the call is still so far out-of-the-money that the delta
will still be zero. Thus, the gamma of this call is zero, since the delta does not change
when the stock increases in price by a point.
In a similar manner, the January 45 put on XYZ would have a delta of -1.0 with
XYZ at 25. If XYZ moved up one point to 26, the put' s delta would not change; it is
still so far in-the-money that it would still be - 1.0. Thus, the gamma of this deeply
in-the-money option is also zero, since the delta remains unchanged in the face of a
I-point rise in the underlying security.
Note that the gamma of any option is expressed as a positive number, whether
the option is a put or a call.
Other properties of gamma are useful to know as well. As expiration nears, the
gamma of at-the-money options increases dramatically. Consider an option with a day
or two of life remaining. If it is at-the-money, the delta is approximately 0.50.
However, if the stock were to move 2 points higher, the delta of the option would jump
