Options glossary · Hedging and risk
Hedge frequency
How often a desk re-hedges its delta, set by choosing a move size rather than a clock: to hedge n times a day, take the expected move over one nth of a day and hedge every time the underlying moves that far. Higher volatility does not mean more hedges, you just wait for a bigger move first.
