Protection for Covered Call

One of the risks of trading covered calls is that the stock can go down. A way to provide protection for this event is to go into the options market and purchase at the money puts. That way, if the stock falls a considerable amount, the gain in the put should at least offset the loss in the stock. This trade has three legs; purchasing shares (a negative), sell calls against the stock (a positive), and buy puts to protect from the stock declining (a negative).
