Shorting VIX on Fed Meeting Days (VIXY)
Eight times a year the US Federal Reserve (the FOMC committee) announces its interest-rate decision. This strategy bets that market fear falls on those days. It short-sells VIXY, a fund that tracks short-term VIX futures and rises when traders expect big swings. Short-selling means it makes money if VIXY drops. Backtested on BATS:VIXY, 5-minute bars, March 2013 to September 2026. Status: research,
