bDelta

bDelta is a term used in finance and accounting to represent the change in value of an asset or portfolio over a specific period, typically a day. It is a measure of performance, indicating whether the asset or portfolio has gained or lost value. This value can be expressed in absolute monetary terms or as a percentage of the initial value. For example, if a stock portfolio was worth $10,000 at the beginning of the day and $10,100 at the end, the bDelta would be $100 or 1%.

The calculation of bDelta is straightforward, involving the subtraction of the opening value from the closing value. Investors and analysts use bDelta to track the daily performance of their holdings, compare different investments, and assess market trends. It is a fundamental metric for understanding short-term fluctuations in financial markets. While often referred to as "daily delta," the term bDelta can sometimes be used interchangeably with other metrics that measure change, depending on the context. However, in its most common usage, it specifically refers to the daily change in value.
