- If position delta breaches a band, you buy the requisite number of shares to bring delta just inside closest band. This is referred to as hedging to the band.
- Eg: In the figure above, if an overnight gap brought your position to Δ = -0.70, you would hedge to the nearest band (down band) at Δ = -0.55 by purchasing 15 shares.
