How to hedge shares when option contract size is too big?


Thanks for your detailed answer.

I am bullish on NVDA but I want a rainy day insurance.

So I bought 100 Put LEAPS (Dec 2026). I paid 20 USD/share premium for that.

That's how my positions look like. Until Dec 2026, my max loss will stay at USD 2865 while I have potential for unlimited profit.

I am happy with it. That covers my 100/150 shares.

My remaining 50 shares still need insurance. I wonder what I can do about it? I don't want to under-hedge or over-hedge. Is there any trick I should know?
