When we delta hedge with implied volatility, and dynamically adjust every day, I believe the PnL theoretically is PnL=0.5ΓS2(σ2r−σ2i)dt
where σr is realized volatility.
My question is, how accurate is this? I am trying to do a delta hedge experiment, and I find that my daily PnLs range wildly, yet the values given by above formula remain somewhat small (< 1)?
I compute my daily PnL as ′change in call price'+Δ⋅′change in spot price′
since the first term gives us what we lost/gained through the call, and the second gives us what we earned shorting the stock. But these two formulas don't match .... however the aggregate results do?
