Delta Hedging Example

We talk a lot of gamma, but here is delta in action. Someone sweeps up a bunch of SPX calls making market maker hedge right away. While everyone is checking for china tweets it turns out was just a hedge. Not he timestamp on the trades is 11 AM (blue box, left column) as is the big jump in market price (top green arrow)

Call Buyer Delta Hedge in action.

Edit: I was partially corrected on twitter, the specific trade was listed below. Its still a trade that requires long delta hedge and the associated spike in SPX.

it was a ratio risk rev.. cust sold 1500 3090 puts to buy 37k 3180/3210 call spreads, paid $22mm
