My armchair opinion based on general principles of economics is that true arbitrage situations are fleeting. If you can spot one, then so can a host of others and soon the disparity in price will equalize and the opportunity will vanish. If you are lucky to find a true arbitrage opportunity...

When I am not in front of my computer and my systems are on auto pilot, I turn everything off on FOMC days. For me, the chop and then whipsaw generates false signals and statistically I do not do well trading on those days. I have had that rule in place for almost 10 years with no regrets...
