The formula to estimate a partial change in an option's price based on the change in the underlying asset's price is primarily dependent on the option's Delta. Delta represents the sensitivity of the option's price to changes in the price of the underlying asset. Therefore, the most straightforward and widely used formula to estimate this partial change is:
Partial change in option price=Δ×Change in underlying pricePartial change in option price=Δ×Change in underlying price
This formula directly utilizes Delta to measure the immediate rate of change in the option's price relative to a small change in the underlying asset's price. The other options involving Gamma are more complex and not typically used for simple partial changes.
