SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the confidence interval for delta (dA/dS) of an option price A derived from simulation results. It is established that delta can be approximated using the formula (ΔA/Δt)/(ΔS/Δt), where ΔA and ΔS represent changes in option price and underlying asset price, respectively, over successive simulation outputs. This method allows for the estimation of delta's confidence interval without the need for additional simulations.
