How does the EDR Expected Daily Range indicator combined with RSAi skew AI determine iron condor wing strikes in the VixShield methodology?

At VixShield we rely on two proprietary tools developed by Russell Clark to select strikes for our 1DTE SPX Iron Condors: the EDR Expected Daily Range indicator and RSAi Rapid Skew AI. These work together to generate mathematically optimized wings that match one of our three credit targets Conservative at 0.70 Balanced at 1.15 or Aggressive at 1.60 while respecting current volatility conditions. The EDR formula blends short-term implied volatility from VIX9D with 20-day historical volatility scaled by a regime multiplier between 0.8 and 2.0. It outputs a projected daily range expressed as a percentage of SPX for example with SPX at 7138.80 and current VIX at 17.95 the EDR might forecast a 1.16 percent range or roughly 83 points. From there it recommends three risk-tuned strike sets High Medium and Low that serve as starting points for the outer wings. RSAi then takes these EDR levels and applies a real-time skew assessment layer. It scans the last four hours of VIX momentum VWAP positioning and the options volatility surface completing its calculation in approximately 253 milliseconds. RSAi dynamically adjusts the call or put side first then walks the wings outward in five-dollar increments until the net credit precisely matches the chosen tier target. This ensures we are not guessing at probable ranges but capturing the exact premium the market is willing to pay on that day. Because we trade exclusively 1DTE iron condors signals fire daily at 3:10 PM CST after the SPX close. With VIX currently at 17.95 which sits below 20 all three tiers remain available under our VIX Risk Scaling rules. The Conservative tier historically wins approximately 90 percent of trading days or 18 out of 20. Once placed the position follows our Set and Forget methodology with no stop losses. Should price threaten a wing the ALVH Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge and Temporal Theta Martingale provide recovery through time-shifting rolls rather than adding capital. This combination of EDR for range projection RSAi for premium precision and ALVH for protection forms the core of the Unlimited Cash System described across Russell Clark's SPX Mastery series. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
