I have been trading leveraged index ETFs and country ETFs (both are mean reverting) with the 2-period RSI setup for quite a while now.
At this point, I know the system inside and out, and am comfortable with it, but would like to explore the use of options instead of the underlying. Can anyone offer some guidance?

gmg733,
Basically I'm looking for guidance on how to structure an option position for mean reversion / RSI(2) type trades. For example, here's a typical trade that I might take:
Buy1000 shares TNA @ $55.00
Stop at $51.50
Sell 1000 shares TNA @ $57.50
Duration of trade was 4 days
How would I approach this trade with options?
Thanks.

Would you care to share your system (bold my emphasis)?

Eman93,
Sadly, your answer adds zero value to this forum. What was the point of replying?
At a minimum, an appropriate reply might have been "buy deep in-the-money calls on IWM" or "sell a put spread" or something thoughtful and constructive.

four,
I will share it on a different thread but do not want this thread to get off-topic.

Buy 10 of the 55 calls and sell 10 of the 57 puts? when it gets to 57.50 sell the calls to close and buy the puts to close.
You usually want to be the seller of high volatility options.. or a buyer of way out of the money... IMHO
dump the trade at 51.50?
dose that help?
