attempting to create a spread that is neutral with respect to both gamma and delta,
|
||||
he could attempt it in the following way:
|
||||
Example: XYZ is 60. A spreader wants to establish a spread that is neutral with
|
||||
respect to both gamma and delta, using the following prices:
|
||||
Option
|
||||
October 60 call
|
||||
October 70 call
|
||||
Delta
|
||||
0.60
|
||||
0.25
|
||||
Gamma
|
||||
0.050
|
||||
0.025
|
||||
The secret to determining a spread that is neutral with respect to both risk meas
|
||||
ures is to neutralize gamma first, for delta can always be neutralized by taking an off
|
||||
setting position in the underlying security, whether it be stock or futures. First, deter
|
||||
mine a gamma neutral spread by dividing the two gammas:
|
||||
Gamma neutral ratio= 0.050/0.025 = 2-to-l
|
||||
So, buying one October 60 and selling two October 70 calls would be a gamma
|
||||
neutral spread. Now, the position delta of that spread is computed:
|
||||
Position
|
||||
Long 1 October 60 call
|
||||
Short 2 October 70 calls
|
||||
Net position delta:
|
||||
Delta
|
||||
0.60
|
||||
0.25
|
||||
Position Delta
|
||||
+60 shares
|
||||
-50 shares
|
||||
+ 10 shares
|
||||
Hence, this gamma neutral ratio is making the position delta long by 10 shares
|
||||
of stock for each l-by-2 spread that is established. For example, if one bought 100
|
||||
October 60 calls and sold 200 October 70 calls, his position delta would be long 1,000
|
||||
shares.
|
||||
This position delta is easily neutralized by selling short 1,000 shares of the stock.
|
||||
The resulting position is both gamma neutral and delta neutral:
|
||||
Option Position Option Position
|
||||
Position Delta Delta Gamma Gamma
|
||||
Short 1,000 XYZ 1.00 -1,000 0 0
|
||||
Long 1 00 October 60 calls 0.60 +6,000 0.050 + 500
|
||||
Short 200 October 70 calls 0.25 -5,000 0.025 - 500
|
||||
Net Position: 0 0
