Effect of Time on Delta
|
||||
In a close contest, the last few minutes of a football game are often the most
|
||||
exciting—not because the players run faster or knock heads harder but
|
||||
because one strategic element of the game becomes more and more
|
||||
important: time. The team that’s in the lead wants the game clock to run
|
||||
down with no interruption to solidify its position. The team that’s losing
|
||||
uses its precious time-outs strategically. The more playing time left, the less
|
||||
certain defeat is for the losing team.
|
||||
Although mathematically imprecise, the trader’s definition can help us
|
||||
gain insight into how time affects option deltas. The more time left until an
|
||||
option’s expiration, the less certain it is whether the option will be ITM or
|
||||
OTM at expiration. The deltas of both the ITM and the OTM options reflect
|
||||
that uncertainty. The more time left in the life of the option, the closer the
|
||||
deltas tend to gravitate to 0.50. A 0.50 delta represents the greatest level of
|
||||
uncertainty—a coin toss. Exhibit 2.3 shows the deltas of a hypothetical
|
||||
equity call with a strike price of 50 at various stock prices with different
|
||||
times until expiration. All other parameters are held constant.
|
||||
EXHIBIT 2.3 Estimated delta of 50-strike call—impact of time.
