Thus, a delta neutral straddle position would consist of buying 8 J anua:ry 50 calls
|
||||
and buying 11 Februa:ry 50 puts. The straddle has no market exposure, at least over
|
||||
the short term. Note that the delta neutral straddle has a significantly different prof
|
||||
it picture from the delta neutral ratio spread, but they are both neutral and are both
|
||||
based on the fact that the Janua:ry 50 call is cheap. The straddle makes money if the
|
||||
stock moves a lot, while the other makes money if the stock moves only a little. (See
|
||||
Figure 40-9.)
|
||||
Can these two vastly different profit pictures be depicting strategies in which
|
||||
the same thing is to be accomplished ( that is, to capture the underpriced nature of
|
||||
the XYZ Janua:ry 50 call)? Yes, but in order to decide which strategy is "best," the
|
||||
strategist would have to take other factors into consideration: the historical volatility
|
||||
of the underlying security, for example, or how much actual time remains until
|
||||
Janua:ry expiration, as well as his own psychological attitude toward selling uncovered
|
||||
calls. A more precise definition of the other risks of these two positions can be
|
||||
obtained by looking at their position gammas.
|
||||
Delta Neutral Is Not Entirely Neutral. In fact, delta neutral means that
|
||||
one is neutral only with respect to small price changes in the underlying securi
|
||||
ty. A delta neutral position may have seriously unneutral characteristics when
