Delta attempts to describe how option prices change when the spot price changes, but it is ignorant of the change in IV that tends to accompany changes in spot price. Vega describes how option prices change with changes in IV; by combining Vega with the anti-correlation between IV and spot price, we can arrive at extra, hidden, effective Deltas. Today, Tom and Tony explore both data and theory to see how we can construct short option positions that are as price neutral as possible.
