I'm reviewing option data exported from TWS, the following two options make me confused. SPY: $246.64 SPY Apr09'20 247 Call Delta: 0.505 SPY Apr09'20 247 PUT Delta -0.495 I always thought an OTM option's delta is less than 0.5, and an ITM option's delta is bigger than 0.5, but it's not the case here. Did I misunderstand something?
When volatility is high, deltas are higher to the call. Intuitively, imagine that volatility is infinite - while that means the stock can go very high, it still can't be below zero.
Not me, I moved long ago, but some discussion at https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/short-svxy-put-margin-logic.342291/
