In my option trade, simulate long 28 shares of stock, and got 0.6 credit per share.
I bought ButterFly Sep C35/45/55, limit 1.65 (Delta 0.09), and sold P22.5 limit 2.25(Delta -0.19);
if LVU stays above 22.5, at least win 0.6.
Option Stop below 22.5

Since all Air stocks are in same pattern, I also bought:
AAL Butterfly Aug. C13/23/33 Limit 1.42;
DAL Butterfly Sep. C30/45/60 Limit 1.83;

For these Air stocks, I bought betterfly for two reasons
1. it is not in uptrend clearly yet. try to reduce the initial risk;
2. IV is still very high. if price goes higher slowly, the OTM calls will still lose money.

SellToClose Sep P22.5 limit 1.25, win 1.00;
Still today,
LUV is a small winner,
AAL is a small winner,
DAL make even;
Actually, The entry point was not good, but the option strategy is good, So, I could survive in the bottom.
Trade closed: target reached
this is a winner.
