Q3. Delta and Gamma with back ratio spread
Underlying trading at 5200. You want to put on 100 PUT back ratio spread using put options with 28 DTEs. In particular, you want to
i. Short 200 contracts of 25 delta put (ie each put contract has delta of -0.25)
ii. Long 300 contracts of 15 delta put (ie each put contract has delta of -0.15)
Annual IV for both legs is 800.
Q3a. Identify the strike for 25 delta put and 15 delta put respectively
Q3b. What is the delta for your overall put back ratio position?

Q3c. What is the gamma and theta value of your put back ratio position?
Q3d. If underlying moves up to 5300 in a week, what is your PnL due to delta, gamma, and theta respectively? (note: for five trading days, theta is five times single day theta)
Q3e. If underlying moved down to 5000 in a week, what is your PnL due to delta, gamma, and theta respectively?
Q3f. What is the positions new delta after the movement down to 5000 in Q3e? How to do you hedge using underlying shares to flatten your overall delta exposure?
(hint: after one week, DTE goes down by 5. Recalculate delta with new under underlying price and new DTE for each leg before aggregating to reach new overall position delta)
