So where was the arb supercomputer when liquidity levels on ES dropped greatly to allow a 3SD price movement (and back) in a day? Vix was asleep because the people who buy Vix didn't think today's move was serious but it did provide a very lucrative trading opportunity for those who can spot this kind of anomaly.

<I thank you>
No VIX was asleep because markets were closed , VIX closed at 11.30 Friday and reopened @ 13.47 finishing the day @ 13.36 . Lets take VIXH3 closed Friday @ 12.55 reopened at 13.35 finishing at 13.68 high around 14.10 . I wouldnt call that an arb or misspricing just another normal day in the VIX , so did you buy it ?
