I just looked up deltaskew here and it’s fucking horrible
Delta skew (or volatility skew) measures the difference in implied volatility between out-of-the-money (OTM) puts and calls at the same distance from the money (measured by delta). It reveals market sentiment and crash risk pricing.
Key Concepts
- Definition: It is typically quantified by measuring symmetric options, such as the 25-delta put and 25-delta call.
- Sentiment: Positive skew means puts have higher implied volatility (more bearish/panic demand), while negative skew indicates calls are more expensive (bullish/chasing upside).
- Calculation: It is often expressed as the difference in implied volatility between OTM puts and calls, sometimes normalized by ATM volatility to track changes over time:
Why Delta Skew Matters
- Crash Protection: Equity markets (like the S&P 500) exhibit a "volatility smile" where puts are significantly more expensive than calls because markets tend to crash downward.
- Risk Reversals: Traders use risk reversals—buying and selling options with the same delta but different strikes—to speculate directly on the skew itself rather than the direction of the underlying asset.
- Delta Neutrality: When trading volatility skew, maintaining a delta-neutral portfolio requires continuous adjustment, as the portfolio's sensitivity to price changes shifts when skews fluctuate.
Advanced Applications
Advanced quantitative models incorporate skew into their hedging schemes, because implied volatility changes as the underlying asset price moves (known as the sticky delta rule). Options writers demand a higher premium to take on out-of-the-money risk when tail risk spikes, which alters the standard Black-Scholes pricing and demands skew-adjusted delta in real-world trading.
