Lets focus on the $40-strike put. As we see in the table the trader is offering this option at $0.77, which is an implied volatility of 32%. At this implied volatility we observe a delta of -0.123. Of course, at 40% implied volatility the price youd be charged is higher. How about the delta at 40% volatility? Would it be more negative or less negative? Explain.
