Thanks for those specific and to the rest of you all for advice. Does it make sense to look for vertical spreads with short theta (combining your idea with tingull's).

The strategies I have developed for ETFs take advantage of short term volatility, so I am thinking that spreads might be wide during times I would want to enter, is this true?

Is it better to enter options trades in times of low volatility or can you stick a limit order out there that could get hit.
In my investigation, there are quite a few ETFs which have options with decent volume.

I will look at the Leitner interview, but it sounds like it might not be an exact fit due to the time frame he trades.
