A negative delta indicates that the stock price and the call option are moving in opposite directions, is that correct or not?
as delta = (c1 - c0) / (s1 - s0)
this means if the answer is -ve, that s0 is larger than s1 and c1 is larger than c0
or c0 is larger than c1 and s1 is larger than s0.
Am i totatly wrong??
Correct.
Delta’s negative for put options.
Thanks a lot sir.
in one of the mock exams, the question was which of the statements is most likely correct
-
a smaller gamma limits the effectiveness of delta hedging.
-
a negative delta indicates that the call option price and the stock price will move in opposite directions
-
a larger gamma means that there is more uncertainty as to whether the call option will expire out of the money.
What would you answer?
Thanks alot sir! That was really clear.
I’m glad that it was; you’re quite welcome.
(For what it’s worth: “a lot” is two words, not one. )
