the right strike price for hedging with options


ganeshji,

strike price points to be used for hedging should be such

that u strike a balance between

- the premium u pay (keep it minimum)

- the movement (delta) of option viz. a viz. movement in spot. otherwise hedge won't be effective.

- ur confidence in correctly reading the sitaution and hence the amount of risk u don't consider as serious risk.

- the more speculative u r the more u hedge out-of-money. and more sure u r be at or in-the-money.
