 Hey Tigers if you're new to trading options you may have read all the big brains online to argue about the Delta of the option. What really is the Delta of an option? Well succinctly the Delta of an option is the measure of how much the option price is expected to move for every $1 change and the underlying stock. If the Delta of an option is 0.5 for example the option price should move about 50 cents for every $1 change in the underlying stock. You can also use Delta to determine whether your option will expire in the money. For example if your Delta is 0.5 the option has about a 50% chance of being in the money at expiration. So knowing this why not just buy options with higher Delta save a better chance of the option expiring in the money. Well the problem with that is a higher Delta usually means a higher premium as well. So that may result in not making any profit after all the costs.
