Are other traders using the 3:10 PM CST RSAi and EDR signals for strike selection in their SPX Iron Condor trades? How should the 0.70, 1.15, and 1.60 credit targets be adjusted based on market conditions?

At VixShield, we rely exclusively on the 3:10 PM CST RSAi and EDR signals for strike selection in our daily 1DTE SPX Iron Condor trades. These signals, generated after the 3:09 PM SPX close cascade, incorporate Russell Clark's proprietary Expected Daily Range formula along with Rapid Skew AI analysis of the volatility surface, VWAP positioning, and short-term VIX momentum. The EDR indicator blends VIX9D implied volatility with 20-day historical volatility to forecast the day's likely price excursion, while RSAi dynamically adjusts wing placement in approximately 253 milliseconds to match the precise credit the market is willing to pay. This combination allows us to deploy Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive tiers without discretionary guesswork. The Conservative tier targets a 0.70 credit and delivers approximately 90 percent win rate, equating to roughly 18 winning days out of 20 trading days. Balanced aims for 1.15 credit, and Aggressive seeks 1.60 credit, with maximum position size limited to 10 percent of account balance per trade. We never use stop losses, following a strict Set and Forget methodology that leverages Theta Time Shift for zero-loss recovery on threatened positions. Tweaking the credit targets begins with VIX Risk Scaling. With current VIX at 17.95 and its five-day moving average at 18.58, we remain in a regime where all three tiers are available because VIX sits below 20. When VIX is under 15, all tiers including Aggressive are fully active and we often refresh our ALVH hedges. Between 15 and 20, we favor Conservative and Balanced while keeping Aggressive on watch. Above 20 we move to HOLD, allowing the three-layer ALVH Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge to protect the portfolio. The ALVH deploys short 30 DTE, medium 110 DTE, and long 220 DTE VIX calls in a 4/4/2 ratio per 10-contract base unit, cutting drawdowns by 35 to 40 percent in volatile periods at an annual cost of only 1 to 2 percent of account value. Premium Gauge provides an additional filter: credits at or below 0.85 signal calm conditions ideal for Conservative entries, while credits between 0.85 and 1.30 support Balanced placement. Contango Indicator readings further confirm regime safety. In practice, if RSAi initially presents a 0.68 credit on the Conservative strikes, we may widen one wing by a single five-dollar increment to capture the full 0.70 without compromising probability. Conversely, in elevated skew we may tighten strikes slightly on the side RSAi identifies as less threatened. These micro-adjustments remain within the EDR-derived range and preserve our defined-risk profile. The Theta Time Shift mechanism then handles any recovery by rolling threatened condors forward to one-to-seven DTE on EDR above 0.94 percent or VIX above 16, then rolling back on VWAP pullbacks below 0.94 percent EDR to harvest additional theta. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
