Is anyone using VixShield's RSAi for 1DTE SPX iron condors? How do the 1.4-1.6x EDR multipliers for the conservative tier versus the 0.9-1.1x multipliers for the aggressive tier actually influence win rates?

At VixShield, we rely exclusively on 1DTE SPX Iron Condors placed after the 3:05 PM CST close using our proprietary RSAi engine. RSAi combines real-time skew analysis with the EDR indicator to recommend precise strikes that deliver targeted credits across our three risk tiers: Conservative at approximately 0.70 credit, Balanced at 1.15 credit, and Aggressive at 1.60 credit. The EDR, which blends short-term implied volatility from VIX9D with 20-day historical volatility, serves as the foundation for strike selection. Conservative setups typically use wider 1.4-1.6x EDR multipliers to place wings farther from the current SPX price, creating a larger buffer against daily moves. Aggressive setups employ tighter 0.9-1.1x multipliers, harvesting higher premium but accepting narrower protection. Backtested over 2015-2025, the Conservative tier has delivered approximately 90 percent win rates, equating to roughly 18 winning days out of 20 trading days. This higher probability stems directly from the expanded range, which captures the majority of SPX's realized movement even on moderately volatile days. In contrast, the Aggressive tier achieves win rates in the 75-80 percent range because the tighter wings, while collecting more theta, are more susceptible to breach during unexpected late-day spikes. With current VIX at 17.95 and below its five-day moving average of 18.58, we remain in a contango regime that supports all three tiers under our VIX Risk Scaling rules. Our ALVH hedge layers provide additional protection across short, medium, and long timeframes, cutting drawdowns by 35-40 percent during volatility expansions at an annual cost of only 1-2 percent of account value. The Theta Time Shift mechanism allows any threatened positions to roll forward temporarily without adding capital, then roll back on VWAP pullbacks to recover losses in 88 percent of historical cases. Position sizing remains capped at 10 percent of account balance per trade, preserving defined risk from entry with no stop losses required. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
