How Often Must a Delta-Neutral Position Be Rebalanced (Re-Hedged)?

The rebalancing frequency depends on the option's gamma, the market maker's risk tolerance, and transaction costs. Positions with high gamma require more frequent re-hedging as delta changes rapidly with price.

In volatile markets, continuous monitoring is needed. A trade-off exists between maintaining perfect neutrality and minimizing transaction costs.
