Constructing a Delta-neutral strategy
•The absolute value of the delta increases as the option goes further in-the-money and decreases as the option goes out-of-the-money. •At-the-money call and put options have a delta that is right around 0.50 and -0.50 respectively. •Put options have a negative delta, which means if the price of an asset goes up, the price of a put option on that asset goes down. •Deep in-the-money call options have a delta that approaches +1.00. Conversely, deep in-the-money put options have a delta that approaches -1.00. •Deep out-of-the-money calls and puts have deltas that approach zero. •The delta of the underlying asset itself always remains constant at 1.00.

Options Strategies
Constructing a Delta-neutral strategy
If you buy the underlying and buy put options so your position is delta neutral:
•When the market goes up, you have a profit on the underlying and you have a smaller loss on the options (because their delta decreased), so you wind up with a net profit.
•When the market goes down, you have a loss on the underlying but you have a bigger profit on the options (because their delta increased), so again you have a net profit.

Options Strategies
Constructing a Delta-neutral strategy
If you sell (short) the underlying and buy call options so your position is delta neutral:
When the market goes up, you have a loss on the underlying but again you have a bigger profit on the options (their delta increased), so you have a net profit.
When the market goes down, you have a profit on the underlying but once again, you have a smaller loss on the options (their delta decreased), so you still have a net profit.

Triangular Arbitrage
suppose you have $1 million and you are provided with the following exchange rates:
EUR/USD = 0.8631, EUR/GBP = 1.4600 USD/GBP = 1.6939.
With these exchange rates there is an arbitrage opportunity:
Sell dollars for euros: $1 million x 0.8631 = 863,100 eurosSell euros for pounds: 863,100/1.4600 = 591,164.40 poundsSell pounds for dollars: 591,164.40 x 1.6939 = $1,001,373 dollars
$1,001,373 - $1,000,000 = $1,373
