Excuse me, could you please explain how one would go about calculating the delta of an option? I've heard it's an important concept in options trading, but I'm not entirely sure how to do it myself. Could you perhaps provide a step-by-step breakdown or an explanation of the formula used? Additionally, how does the delta of an option change over time and in response to market conditions? I'm keen to understand the nuances of this metric and how it can be used to inform my trading decisions. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

Can someone explain to me why the delta of an option might potentially exceed the value of 1? I've heard this term being discussed in the context of cryptocurrency trading and I'm curious to understand the underlying concept behind it. As I understand, delta is a measure of how sensitive an option's price is to changes in the underlying asset's price, so it's surprising to me that it could ever exceed 1. Could someone elaborate on this and provide some real-world examples or scenarios where this might occur?

Hello there, could you please explain in simple terms how one can determine the delta of an option? I understand it's related to the sensitivity of an option's price to changes in the underlying asset's price, but I'm struggling to grasp the exact calculation or estimation process. Could you guide me through it, step by step? It would be immensely helpful if you could also provide some real-life examples or scenarios to make the concept clearer. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Could you please clarify what you mean by "25% delta mean option"? Are you referring to the concept of delta in options trading, specifically the relationship between the change in the price of an underlying asset and the change in the price of an option on that asset? If so, a 25% delta on an option would suggest that for every 1% change in the price of the underlying asset, the option price would be expected to change by approximately 0.25% in the same direction. Is this what you were asking about, or did you have something else in mind?
