@BarTune1
Great to hear. I'm back in XLI. I trade in and out of the same ETFs all the time. High IV and liquid I'm in it.
For straddles I take profits between 25-30%. Strangles around 40-50% of max profit. I like doing 20 delta trades right now for strangles. Kind of in between straddle and strangle.
Good stuff.

All depends four. Right now I'm in EWZ (just closed for a profit), EWW, GLD, XBI, XHB, OIH, XLE, XLI, XLY, XOP and XRT.
I've traded many others too they just don't have high IV right now like TLT. XLF just doesn't have a lot of juice in it like UNG and USO. So I'll avoid those and if I do it is most likely a straddle to get enough preimum to make it worth while.
I know I've trade FXA, FXB, FXC and FXY.
The main thing is to have something with elevated IV, liquid with 'tight' markets (you'll find yourself trading the same things over and over and over again), options naturally.
If you are interested, options on futures have been good to me this year. /CL, /ZB, /ZC, /ZS, /ZW, /NG, /GC, /ES, /6B and /6E are the main ones. At any one time you can expect to have 3 to 4 on.
