In this section, we'll look at the mathematics needed to trade a delta neutral portfolio.
The following table presents values of a market neutral portfolio:
The following table shows the values of the market neutral portfolio for the next day:
In this section, we are going to derive the mathematical tools for hedging with implied volatility to be able to watch the mark to market profit and loss.
The following is the mark to market profit from the current day to the next day:
Here, S is the stock price and Γ is the Black-Scholes gamma function.
The following is the theoretical profit until the end of the arbitrage trade:
We integrate the discounted value of each profit made until the end of the trade to get the total theoretical profit.
