The article indicates that EDR places wings at approximately 1.16 percent of spot for the conservative tier. How does VixShield use EDR bias along with ALVH to determine strikes and credit targets for daily SPX iron condors?

At VixShield we rely on a tightly integrated process built around Russell Clark's SPX Mastery methodology to select strikes and set credit targets for our 1DTE SPX Iron Condors. The foundation is the EDR Expected Daily Range indicator which forecasts the likely daily price excursion by blending short-term implied volatility from VIX9D with 20-day historical volatility. On a typical day with SPX at 7138.80 and EDR reading 1.16 percent the conservative tier targets wings roughly 83 points away from spot. This produces the $0.70 net credit we aim for in that tier while delivering the approximately 90 percent win rate observed across backtested periods. RSAi Rapid Skew AI then refines the exact placement in real time by scanning the options skew surface VWAP positioning and last four hours of VIX momentum. It adjusts the call or put side first in five-dollar increments until the precise credit target is reached usually completing the optimization in under 300 milliseconds. The three risk tiers remain consistent Conservative at $0.70 Balanced at $1.15 and Aggressive at $1.60 each matched to current market conditions through VIX Risk Scaling. When VIX sits at 17.95 as it does today we keep all tiers available because the reading remains below 20. ALVH the Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge operates in parallel as our primary protection layer. We maintain the 4/4/2 contract ratio across short 30 DTE medium 110 DTE and long 220 DTE VIX calls at 0.50 delta. This structure cuts drawdowns by 35 to 40 percent during volatility spikes at an annual cost of only 1 to 2 percent of account value. The hedge stays fully engaged regardless of the Iron Condor tier chosen. Once the position is entered we follow the Set and Forget discipline with no stop losses. Any threatened trade is handled through the Temporal Theta Martingale and Theta Time Shift mechanics which roll the position forward to 1-7 DTE on EDR above 0.94 percent or VIX above 16 then roll back on a VWAP pullback to harvest additional theta. Position sizing never exceeds 10 percent of account balance and we execute in the 3:10 PM CST window to remain outside PDT restrictions. This combination of EDR for range projection RSAi for skew-tuned credit capture and ALVH for volatility protection creates the daily income engine described in the Unlimited Cash System. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
