δ In the IPA, the symbol that represents the voiced dental fricative, the hard th in the English word father; frequently represented by the Icelandic eth (ð)
The percentage of price movement in the underlying stock that will be translated into the price movement in a particular option For example, a delta of 50 percent indicates that the option will move up (or down) by one-half point for each one-point rise (or decline) in the underlying stock Call options have positive delta and put options have negative delta Delta increases as the stock price rises and decreases as the stock price declines It's also commonly used to approximate the probability that an option will finish in the money
A tract of land shaped like the letter delta (Δ), especially when the land is alluvial and inclosed between two or more mouths of a river; as, the delta of the Ganges, of the Nile, or of the Mississippi
The rate of change of the price of a derivative security relative to the price of the underlying asset; i e , the first derivative of the curve that relates the price of the derivative to the price of the underlying security
The ratio of the change in price of a call option to the change in price of the underlying stock Also called the hedge ratio Applies to derivative products Measure of the relationship between an option price and the underlying futures contract of stock price
In the IPA, the symbol that represents the voiced dental fricative, the hard th in the English word father. Usu. represented by the Icelandic eth/edh (ð)
The low, nearly flat, alluvial tract of land at or near the mouth of a river, commonly forming a triangular or fan-shaped plain of considerable area, crossed by many distributaries of the main river, perhaps extending beyond the general trend of the coast, and resulting from the accumulation of sediment supplied by the river in such quantities that it is not removed by tides, waves, and currents Most deltas are partly subaerial and partly below water
The amount by which an option's price will change for a one-point change in price by the underlying entity Call options have positive deltas, while put options have negative deltas Technically, the delta is an instantaneous measure of the option's price change, so that the delta will be altered for even fractional changes by the underlying entity See also Hedge Ratio
The change in the value of the option premium relative to the instantaneous change in the value of the underlying instrument, expressed as a coefficient
A measure of how much an option premium changes, given a unit change in the underlying futures price Delta often is interpreted as the probability that the option will be in-the-money by expiration
A delta is an area of low, flat land shaped like a triangle, where a river splits and spreads out into several branches before entering the sea. the Mississippi delta. Low-lying plain composed of stream-borne sediments deposited by a river at its mouth. Deltas have been important to humankind since prehistoric times. Sands, silts, and clays deposited by floodwaters were extremely productive agriculturally; and major civilizations flourished in the deltaic plains of the Nile and Tigris-Euphrates rivers. In recent years geologists have discovered that much of the world's petroleum resources are found in ancient deltaic rocks. Deltas vary widely in size, structure, composition, and origin, though many are triangular (the shape of the Greek letter delta)
Is a measure that indicates the change of an option price relative to a change in the currency price A delta of 5 would indicate that the long option holder is long the equivalent of 1/2 of a futures currency contract
(1) An alluvial deposit made of rock particles (sediment and debris) dropped by a stream as it enters a body of water (2) A plain underlain by an assemblage of sediments that accumulate where a stream flows into a body of standing water where its velocity and transporting power are suddenly reduced Originally so named because many deltas are roughly triangular in plan, like the Greek letter delta (^), with the apex pointing upstream
The fan--shaped area at the mouth, or lower end, of a river, formed by eroded material that has been carried downstream and dropped in quantities larger than can be carried off by tides or currents The Nile and Mississippi Rivers have deltas
An alluvial deposit, often in the shape of the Greek letter "delta," which is formed where a stream drops its debris load on entering a body of quieter water
an accumulation of sediment where a river enters a lake or ocean The shape and size of a delta are controlled by the climate, the water discharge of the river, the amount of sediment supplied by the river, the size of the waves, the current and the tides in the receiving body of water
The change in the value of the option premium made fully paid by the capitalisation of reserves and given relative to the instantaneous change in the value of the; underlying instrument, expressed as a coefficient
The percentage of the price movement in the underlying stock that will be translated into price movement in a particular option series For example, a delta of 50 percent indicates that the option will move up (down) by one half point for each 1 point rise (decline) in the underlying stock Call options have positive delta; put options have negative delta Deltas increase as the stock price rises and decrease as the stock price declines The delta is also an approximation of the probability that an option will finish in the money
