  2. Delta one - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_one

    A delta one product is a derivative with a linear, symmetric payoff profile. That is, a derivative that is not an option or a product with embedded options. Examples of delta one products are Exchange-traded funds, equity swaps, custom baskets, linear certificates, futures, forwards, exchange-traded notes, trackers, and Forward rate agreements ...

  3. Delta neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_neutral

    Delta measures the sensitivity of the value of an option to changes in the price of the underlying stock assuming all other variables remain unchanged. [ 2 ] Mathematically, delta is represented as partial derivative ∂ V ∂ S {\displaystyle {\tfrac {\partial V}{\partial S}}} of the option's fair value with respect to the spot price of the ...

  4. Monte Carlo methods for option pricing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_methods_for...

    The value is defined as the least squares regression against market price of the option value at that state and time (-step). Option value for this regression is defined as the value of exercise possibilities (dependent on market price) plus the value of the timestep value which that exercise would result in (defined in the previous step of the ...

  5. Moneyness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moneyness

    Delta is more than moneyness, with the (percent) standardized moneyness in between. Thus a 25 Delta call option has less than 25% moneyness, usually slightly less, and a 50 Delta "ATM" call option has less than 50% moneyness; these discrepancies can be observed in prices of binary options and vertical spreads. Note that for puts, Delta is ...

  6. Binomial options pricing model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_options_pricing_model

    In finance, the binomial options pricing model (BOPM) provides a generalizable numerical method for the valuation of options.Essentially, the model uses a "discrete-time" (lattice based) model of the varying price over time of the underlying financial instrument, addressing cases where the closed-form Black–Scholes formula is wanting, which in general does not exist for the BOPM.

  7. Black–Scholes equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black–Scholes_equation

    where (,) is the price of the option as a function of stock price S and time t, r is the risk-free interest rate, and is the volatility of the stock. The key financial insight behind the equation is that, under the model assumption of a frictionless market , one can perfectly hedge the option by buying and selling the underlying asset in just ...

  8. PnL explained - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PnL_Explained

    For example, the delta of an option is the value an option changes due to a $1 move in the underlying commodity or equity/stock. See Risk factor (finance) § Financial risks for the market . To calculate 'impact of prices' the formula is: Impact of prices = option delta × price move; so if the price moves $100 and the option's delta is 0.05% ...

  9. Stock option return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_option_return

    %If Unchanged Potential Return = (call option price - put option price) / [stock price - (call option price - put option price)] For example, for stock JKH purchased at $52.5, a call option sold for $2.00 with a strike price of $55 and a put option purchased for $0.50 with a strike price of $50, the %If Unchanged Return for the collar would be:
