Pegged to Stock Orders

Description

A Pegged to Stock order is a buy or a sell order that adjusts the order price by the product of a signed delta (which is entered as an absolute and assumed to be positive for calls, negative for puts) and the change in price of the option's underlying stock price. A buy or sell call order price is determined by adding the delta times a change in an underlying stock price to a specified starting price for the call. To determine the change in price, a stock reference price (NBBO midpoint at the time of the order is assumed if no reference price is entered) is subtracted from the current NBBO midpoint. A stock range may also be entered that cancels an order when reached. The delta times the change in stock price will be rounded to the nearest penny in favor of the order and will be used as your auction improvement amount.

Example

To enter a Pegged-to-Stock order select PEG STK as the order type, and enter a starting price, a stock reference price (optional), and a stock range (optional). For example if the market was $2-2.10 and you wanted to enter a buy pegged-to-stock call with a starting price of $2.05, a delta of .5, a stock reference price of $100, and a stock range of $98-$102, you would enter:

Order Type: Pegged-to-Stock
Limit Price: N/A
Aux Price: 2.05 (Starting Price)
Delta: .5
Stock Reference: 100
Stock Range (Low): 98
Stock Range (High): 102
   
     

Your bid would be entered at $2.05. If the NBBO midpoint price of the stock went to $100.05 your bid would be $2.06, and would continue to move up until you reached $2.07 (the .5 delta times $.05 stock move rounded down to the nearest increment). If the NBBO midpoint price of the stock were to go above $102 or below $98, the order would be cancelled.
