I trade in and out of the same ETFs all the time. High IV and liquid I'm in it.

Other than XLI... which do you prefer?
-- I have used XOP, EFA, EWZ, XLF

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.

another good day for utilities, still not late to get into the action, but it's a slow grind.

Karen
I just sold the JUN18 /ES 2850 calls fro 5.25 per one lot to get me a little short the market.
---------------------------
Hit my 40% profit mark and position closed.
I had a FB position close too for 40% profit but I must not have posted that one. Can't find it.
I just sold a /CL strangle. I need to put more trades on. They are closing and I need to get theta numbers back up.

@gmg
would you happen to know how IV compares for USO options as compared to options on CL assuming an equivalent position (in terms of % to spot price)?
i'm thinking this might be a little harder on USO given the price at which it trades and the relative distance between available strike prices ....
I assume you are using the most efficient instrument (i.e., option on future vs. etf or etn)
