Option-strategy terms for delta hedging, delta-neutral positioning, legs, and legging into derivative positions.
Hedging, Delta Neutral, and Position Construction is the financial-instruments landing page for long and short option positions, protective puts, covered options, spreads, collars, strangles, jelly rolls, delta-neutral hedges, naked writing, and premium-income strategies. It keeps related terms in one branch so readers can move from a broad instrument question to the article that owns the contract evidence.
Use this page when an option strategy changes payoff shape, margin, assignment risk, or hedging exposure. Use the parent Option Strategies, Spreads, and Writing page when you need the broader instrument map. For an individual decision, confirm the contract, term sheet, prospectus, confirmation, exchange specification, or disclosure record before relying on the term.
