Delta

In by OptionStackLeave a Comment

Delta is a theoretical estimate of how much an option’s premium may change given a $1 move in the underlying.  Long calls have positive Delta; conversely short calls have negative Delta. Long puts have negative Delta; short puts have positive Delta.

For put options, the higher the strike price, the higher the delta.   For call options, the lower the strike price, the higher the delta.
