How Does Delta Hedging Work?

Delta hedging is a risk management technique used to reduce or eliminate the directional risk of an option position. A trader buys or sells the underlying asset to offset the option's Delta, aiming for a "Delta-neutral" portfolio where the overall value is insensitive to small price changes.
