Essentially, the trade as it stands now is a 4-way arb where every part of the trade has positive expectation of profit on its own, but hedges other parts of the trade nearly perfectly. The legs of the trade are:
Long 1 unit Mar WTI
Short 1 unit Mar Brent
Short 1 unit Dec WTI
Long 1 unit Dec Brent
Short 1 unit either Dec or Jun WTI
Short 1 unit Feb VIX
Short 1 unit Mar VIX
Long some VLO, offsetting the short Dec/Jun WTI
This should essentially make you net flat risk aversion. I'm currently in every leg of this trade.
