Hedging the Risk
|
||||
Delta is the easiest risk for floor traders to eliminate quickly. It becomes
|
||||
second nature for veteran floor traders to immediately hedge nearly every
|
||||
trade with the underlying. Remember, these liquidity providers are in the
|
||||
business of buying option bids and selling option offers, not speculating on
|
||||
direction.
|
||||
The next hurdle is to trade out of the option-centric risk. This means that
|
||||
if the market maker is long gamma, he needs to sell options; if he’s short
|
||||
gamma, he needs to buy some. Same with theta and vega. Market makers
|
||||
move their bids and offers to avoid being saddled with too much gamma,
|
||||
theta, and vega risk. Experienced floor traders are good at managing option
|
||||
risk by not biting off more than they can chew. They strive to never buy or
|
||||
sell more options than they can spread off by selling or buying other
|
||||
options. This breed of trader specializes in trading the spread and managing
|
||||
risk, not in predicting the future. They’re market makers, not market takers.
