A risk metric that calculates the price change of a derivative, like an options contract, given a $1 change in the underlying securities. Additionally, the delta informs options traders of the hedging ratio needed to achieve delta neutrality. The likelihood that an option will expire in the money is a third way to understand an option's delta. For instance, if a call option has a delta value of +0.45, it means that, all other things being equal, if the price of the underlying stock rises by $1 per share, the option on it will rise by $0.45 per share. Depending on the type of choice, delta values might be either positive or negative.
The market has been range bound for the last few weeks with volatility on the decline, and earnings all over the place. So where to go to look for a trade? Nike has already had Earnings and is near a low of the year, so seems like a good option. As a contrarian that can mean only one thing to me: I have to make a trade with the assumption it will go up from here over the next 45ish days. We will do that by making a Long Call Vertical trade to bet that it starts to head up over the next couple months. For more on my trading and how to join me in real time, see below.
