What is a delta and what makes it unique?


What is a delta and what makes it unique? Deltas are wetlands that form as rivers empty their water and sediment into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. Although very uncommon, deltas can also empty into land. A river moves more slowly as it nears its mouth, or end.


How do you explain delta?

Delta measures how much an option's price can be expected to move for every $1 change in the price of the underlying security or index. For example, a Delta of 0.40 means the option's price will theoretically move $0.40 for every $1 change in the price of the underlying stock or index.
