Delta Hedging FX Options Interview Guide
Delta hedging FX options interview guide for option exposure, currency conventions, hedge ratios, rebalancing, costs, and residual risk.
Candidates explaining currency option risk management in interviews.
Delta measures spot sensitivity
FX option delta describes sensitivity to the currency pair under a convention. Candidates should state the convention before sizing a hedge.
The hedge currency matters
A hedge can involve buying or selling one currency against another. Pair direction and settlement currency affect the interpretation.
Concrete example
A long EUR/USD call may be hedged by selling some EUR/USD exposure, but the exact quantity depends on delta convention and notional.
Rebalancing creates costs
As spot and volatility move, delta changes. Rehedging reduces exposure but creates transaction costs and leaves gamma and vega risk.
Common mistakes
Candidates often say hedge with delta and stop. Strong answers include convention, rebalancing, costs, gamma, vega, and residual risk.
