Today with the entire market having a big day, SKZ was also having a big day. With SKZ up and within 50\u00a2 of my $28 Strike Price (third leg), I had to leave my office which would have me away from my computer. Before I left my computer I entered a &#8220;Stop Buy&#8221; order to buy 1000 shares of SKZ \u00a0if the stock went as high as $27.95. This &#8220;Stop Buy&#8221; order would only be executed if the stock went up to $27.95 and would not be executed if the stock never went up to my buy price. The difference between a &#8220;Limit&#8221; buy order and a &#8220;Stop Buy&#8221; order is, if the stock is at $27.50 and I entered a &#8220;Limit&#8221; order to buy the stock at $27.95 I would be executed immediately because you get executed at you buy price or a better price. With a &#8220;Stop Buy&#8221; order you only get executed if the stock gets up to your desired buy price. The &#8220;Stop Buy&#8221; order will stop the stock from getting any higher before it gets executed. I enter this type of order because I didn&#8217;t want to buy the stock unless it approached my Strike Price. If the stock didn&#8217;t get close to my Strike Price I would rather stay Naked. You must learn these &#8220;buy&#8221; or &#8220;sell&#8221; rules in the case you are not near your computer. Now that I&#8217;m back near my computer I noticed that I was executed on my &#8220;Stop Buy&#8221; order to buy another 1000 shares of SKZ at $27.95 before it went above my $28 Strike Price. My &#8220;Stop Buy&#8221; order did it&#8217;s job! The &#8220;Stop Buy&#8221; order is a great tool to have. Here&#8217;s the buy order:<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy 1000 Shares SKZ @ $27.95<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At this point all Calls of my SKZ &#8220;Triple Play Hedge&#8221; are covered. If the stock goes down I might choose to sell my shares and go Naked on these Calls at any time. Let&#8217;s see what tomorrow brings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Any questions, please send me an email.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Steve<\/p>\n<p><em>The Options Coach<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you look at my &#8220;Triple Play Hedge&#8221; with Skechers (SKZ) in my Active Positions, you will see my first leg has expires, my second leg is covered and the third leg is Naked with a Strike Price of $28.
