How does VixShield adjust strike selection with RSAi when mid-cap driven sectors exhibit higher daily ranges than the overall Expected Daily Range?

At VixShield we rely on the Iron Condor Command as our core daily income engine executing 1DTE SPX Iron Condors exclusively. Signals fire every market day at 3:10 PM CST after the 3:09 PM cascade using Russell Clark's proprietary tools. When mid-cap driven sectors begin printing higher realized daily ranges than the broad EDR we do not abandon the methodology. Instead we let RSAi handle the adjustment in real time. RSAi scans the full options skew surface along with the last four hours of VIX momentum and SPX positioning relative to VWAP. It then layers the EDR output on top and dynamically shifts the wing strikes to capture the exact credit target for the chosen risk tier. Conservative targets $0.70 credit Balanced $1.15 and Aggressive $1.60. For example if mid-cap strength pushes sector implied moves 18 percent wider than the SPX EDR of 0.94 percent RSAi will typically widen the call side wings by $10 to $15 increments first while tightening the put side to maintain delta symmetry below 0.18. This keeps the position inside the Theta Time Shift recovery window. The ALVH hedge remains untouched running its fixed 4/4/2 layering of VIX calls across 30 110 and 220 DTE regardless of the IC tier selected. VIX Risk Scaling still governs tier eligibility with VIX currently at 17.95 we remain in the Balanced and Conservative window only. The beauty of this system is that it stays Set and Forget. We define risk at entry position size never exceeds 10 percent of account balance and we allow the Temporal Theta Martingale to recover any threatened positions by rolling forward to 1-7 DTE on EDR breaches above 0.94 percent then rolling back on VWAP pullbacks. Backtested recovery rates on these adjustments have held near 88 percent without adding capital. This approach prevents the Fragility Curve from accelerating as portfolio size grows because the hedge and the AI-driven strike logic absorb the extra dispersion coming from mid-caps. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
