<And the money lost by people trading VIX mechanically pales besides the amounts lost by those who ignore the fact that low VIX=high risk.> the danger George is if one is trading it mechanically and one goes, say 100% long when it hit say 30-31, but in this instance this 30-31 is but preceding a major capitulation one can take a huge hit because capitulation moves are massive down moves.
The risk with VIX, if one rolls 100% to the long side just once at the wrong time they can get annihilated.
i feel at times such as this moment one need shift major attention to Tick and Trin.
If determined to go long, go in stages, like 10% at a time,imo. Max
