I don't think i would know how to trade the vix, fading volatilty maybe, but i believe that strategy has been discredited . 
 
but would you not see it moving inversly to the equity indices?
 
and my use here is based on the movement of Clyde's hurst bands, suggesting that a market, the vix in this case, has moved outside what might be its "normal" range", a confirming indicator when it moves back into the range.

I am a little confused here.  Has anyone ever made any money trading the VIX?  In the 70s and 80s the VIX ranged between 11 and 18.  The extremes at the time.  Then the extremes changed and one was looking in the 30s and 40s.  Still no one that I know of ever made a dime trading the VIX. 
 
A lot of people have made a lot of money trading the indexes with the vix at 11, 18, 25 and so on.  Does anyone know how the VIX is calculated?  If they did, I doubt that they would rely upon it as much as they seem to.

vix has been bouncing the outside of the channel to the other - some thing different about his options expiration?
