How Do Transaction Costs Affect the Frequency of Delta Hedging?

Transaction costs, such as trading fees and slippage, impose a constraint on the frequency of dynamic delta hedging. If costs are high, a market maker must hedge less frequently to maintain profitability, accepting a higher Gamma risk.

Conversely, low transaction costs allow for more frequent hedging, leading to a tighter, more accurate delta hedge but potentially higher execution volume.
