The Final table

Whereas fixed hedging limits the loss potential of the hedge to the premium, the aim of delta hedging is to establish a hedge, which at every moment and price of the underlying generates a loss as close to zero as possible. However, delta hedging is based on the assumption that the delta factor behaves as expected, which is not always the case.
