Stock and Index Options Trading and Mentoring for Option Traders

Since the QE program started every Fed meeting has been met with a combination of shock and awe.  Most of the shock going into the IV before the announcement and a lot of the awe is the sound traders make looking at the market with their mouths open waiting for news.  I cannot blame anyone for waiting as we were doing that ourselves.  Normally we try to position some sort of long gamma, which we did at the last minute, with some short volatility, which we avoided for the most part.  The reason being this was a strange FOMC reading according to the     IV changes throughout the day.
