Trading stock in this plan might be stopped too easily.
In my real trade, I use option Delta to simulate 40 shares of stock.
I bought Sep C40/50 (Delta 0.22), limit 2.55;
and Sell Sep P23 (Delta -0.18) limit 2.55;
stop when 23.
This option strategy is BFF "Buy For Free".
If XOP stays between 23 and 40. No winner, no loser.
Trade active:

Trade closed manually:

SellToOpen C45/55 limit 1.99 -- cover the cost
Till now, I got a long position XOP Condor C40/45/50/55 for free.
This is a winner.
