Delta

∂V/∂S
First-Order GreeksConvexity Chain
Differentiates w.r.t.:S (Spot)
What it measures

How much the option price changes when the underlying moves by $1. The most fundamental directional sensitivity.

When it matters

Every trade. Delta is the first thing any options trader looks at. In crypto, 5-10% daily moves make delta management a survival skill.

Crypto context

A BTC call with delta 0.6 means if BTC rises $1,000, the option gains ~$600. During flash crashes, delta hedging creates cascading selling pressure.

Heatmap drill-down guidance

When Delta lights up in the heatmap, check Spot Price in the drill-down. A spot move is the direct trigger.
