Sber, today, traded at a delta of ~320

Now it's trading at ~410.

I'm trying to get him with a delta of 432.

You got it already? There's already a delta of 500.)

But the delta from 12.19 is more impressive.

It turns out it is not certain that the bid will work, but if it does, the entry will be good.

On the close futures of Sber 09.19 there is no problem with order triggering +/- 2 p. you can always take it if the price is close to the market price. If not, you can wait until the carrot's gob).

Except that so far (it's been 30 min) this delta can't be taken, although the stock is dropping.

Conclusions/observations:

1. the stock opened with a gap up after a strong upward move in the futures on the evening;

2. Futures are now falling faster than stocks (catching up);

3. The strategy is not likely to be negative, but it could have failed to catch the desired delta today if the market opened with a gap up (as it did) and continued rising. In this regard, it would be more logical to collect the delta sequentially.

4. If you catch delta = 500 today, potential profit (without commissions) = 13.5% p.a. on EBS EIS.

Added:

5. The gap has closed.

Alexei!

On your 1 point - totally disagree.

The price of futures depends on the price of the stock, NOT the opposite!

And who said there was no risk?

There is, but not much, I bought the shares dearly (delta 282 rubles), which amounted to 7.2-7.3% per annum in this transaction.

And don't forget that the futures are sold one day before expiration day.

The delta today is already less than 300.


Therefore you have to buy in small portions.

In the long term it is more than you can enter when the stock is trading.

5. So you have to buy in small portions.

6. In the long term it is more than entering when the stock is trading anyway.

Point by point:

1. I'm not arguing, I'm just stating the existence of a gap in the morning. You see the gap of 120 points, don`t you? Consider it just an observation.

2. Believe me, I am aware that there is risk everywhere. Absolutely everywhere, especially in the market. Although I didn't mention the risk here at all, I just said that the estimated delta may not be caught.

3. About the position set sequence I also said. By the way, did you fully expect the gap to close today?

4. Does it really matter? You are selling the futures to buy the stock at the previous day's closing price, right? In fact, you could have waited for the stock price to go down even more today and bought at an even better delta;

5. I agree;

6. I don't disagree; 6;

7. I think it's inseparable to think about market movements and think about earning with LOW risk. In this case, I know this: if the stock goes up with the futures on the open today, the stock should be bought headlong (otherwise you could go into negative territory if the stock price reaches the futures entry), and if the stock price starts to fall, that's good for me.

4. Does it really matter? You're selling the futures in order to buy the stock at the previous day's closing price, right? In fact, you could have waited for an even bigger drop in the stock price today and bought at an even better delta;

4. it matters, because the next day, the delta will be much smaller and the percentage is almost the same,

as long as the stock doesn't go up.

Delta, on expiry, = 0.

Look at this screen and above, the deltas are the same and the percentage of entry is higher


7. Who cares, in hedging strategies, which way the price goes.

What matters is the entry and exit delta.

You can just buy Delta while trading stocks, without any risk...

No need to talk about disconnecting the Internet at the time of the return trade...

4. Yes, I get it, the later you buy the stock, the better. By the way, do you take into account when calculating your returns that you start owning the stock after 2 days (T+2)? That is, in fact, you can still "spin" the money (on the stock) somewhere for 2 days after the purchase?

7. Why don't you care? You do realize that had the price gone up today, you could have taken a loss (if you had bought the stock above the futures), right? And you would have hedged the minus! The point here is that the delta itself is our "safety cushion" and the higher it is, the better. The higher the yield. The point of the strategy is to catch a good delta, with a yield above the OFZ/bank deposit.

There you go again, saying that there is no risk. You yourself wrote in a previous post the phrase"Who said there is no risk? There is a risk of getting the wrong delta (yield). The example was today at the market opening for the Sber.

But what you did yesterday, i.e. selling futures one day and buying BA the next, is already a risky strategy! In one day, all at once, I agree, the risk is minimal.

There is a risk if you buy overnight
