How do you size positions around FOMC?

TWTom Whitfield@value_vega
Curious how people here manage risk into binary macro events. Do you cut size, hedge with options, or just sit through the vol? I've been burned trying to trade the reaction.

I cut size by half into the print and keep a small options hedge. Trading the reaction is a coin flip.

Same — the edge is in position sizing, not prediction. Survive first.
