Consider a $60 stock with a call option that has a 0.50 delta and is trading
|
||||
for 3.00. Considering only the delta, if the stock price increases by $1, the
|
||||
theoretical value of the call will rise by 0.50. That’s 50 percent of the stock
|
||||
price change. The new call value will be 3.50. If the stock price decreases
|
||||
by $1, the 0.50 delta will cause the call to decrease in value by 0.50, from
|
||||
3.00 to 2.50.
|
||||
Puts have a negative correlation to the underlying. That is, put values
|
||||
decrease when the stock price rises and vice versa. Puts, therefore, have
|
||||
negative deltas. Here is a simplified example of the delta effect on a −0.40-
|
||||
delta put:
|
||||
As the stock rises from $60 to $61, the delta of −0.40 causes the put value
|
||||
to go from $2.25 to $1.85. The put decreases by 40 percent of the stock
|
||||
price increase. If the stock price instead declined by $1, the put value would
|
||||
increase by $0.40, to $2.65.
|
||||
Unfortunately, real life is a bit more complicated than the simplified
|
||||
examples of delta used here. In reality, the value of both the call and the put
|
||||
will likely be higher with the stock at $61 than was shown in these
|
||||
examples. We’ll expand on this concept later when we tackle the topic of
|
||||
gamma.
|
||||
Definition 2 : Delta can also be described another way. Exhibit 2.1 shows
|
||||
the value of a call option with three months to expiration at a variable stock
|
||||
price. As the stock price rises, the call is worth more; as the stock price
|
||||
declines, the call value moves toward zero. Mathematically, for any given
|
||||
point on the graph, the derivative will show the rate of change of the option
|
||||
price. The delta is the first derivative of the graph of the option price
|
||||
relative to the stock price .
