Abstract

An option hedge ratio is the sensitivity of an option price with respect to price changes in the underlying stock. It measures the number of shares of stocks to hedge an option position. This article presents a simple derivation of the hedge ratios under the Black-Scholes option-pricing framework. The proof is succinct and easy to follow.
