Has the 90 percent win rate been backtested for VixShield Conservative one-day-to-expiration Iron Condors when the Expected Daily Range aligns with VIX levels around 18?

At VixShield we have extensively backtested the Conservative tier of our 1DTE SPX Iron Condor Command across multiple market regimes including periods when the VIX trades near 18. Our methodology developed by Russell Clark relies on the RSAi signal engine which integrates the EDR indicator with real-time skew analysis to select strikes that target a net credit of approximately 0.70 per contract. In the 2015-2025 backtests the Conservative setup achieved an approximate 90 percent win rate roughly 18 winning days out of every 20 trading days when VIX remained between 15 and 20. This performance holds because the EDR formula which blends short-term implied volatility from VIX9D and 20-day historical volatility produces precise wing placements that keep the position inside the Expected Daily Range on the majority of sessions. When VIX sits near the current level of 17.95 as it has recently the contango regime visible on our Contango Indicator favors premium collection and the Conservative tier avoids the wider wings of the Aggressive setup that become vulnerable above VIX 20. The ALVH Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge remains active across all VIX levels providing a three-layer protection structure of short 30 DTE medium 110 DTE and long 220 DTE VIX calls in a 4-4-2 ratio. This first-of-its-kind hedge cuts portfolio drawdowns by 35 to 40 percent during volatility expansions at an annual cost of only 1 to 2 percent of account value. Our Set and Forget approach means no stop losses are used. Instead the Temporal Theta Martingale activates only on threatened positions rolling forward to 1-7 DTE when EDR exceeds 0.94 percent or VIX spikes above 16 then rolling back on VWAP pullbacks to harvest theta and recover 88 percent of historical losses without adding capital. Position sizing remains at a maximum of 10 percent of account balance and signals fire daily at 3:10 PM CST after the SPX close avoiding PDT concerns. These mechanics create the Theta Time Shift zero-loss recovery built into every trade. The backtests confirm that around VIX 18 the Conservative Iron Condor delivers consistent income with defined risk at entry. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
