    Dear Sir,
    In the question Marengo, they took the number of options to be as:
    Amount to be hedged/(amount in 1 contract * delta)

    Can i just memorize this formulae?
    As in can i assume, whenever they want us to calculate the number of contracts in a black scholes pricing question, we should take the delta value and multiply in the denominator?

    Delta as in N(d1)

    thanks

    Yes – just memorise the formula 🙂
    (I do explain it in my free lectures on share options).
