How does Russell Clark's methodology use RSAi and EDR for strike selection on SPX Iron Condors?

At VixShield we follow Russell Clark's SPX Mastery methodology which centers on 1DTE SPX Iron Condors placed after the 3:09 PM CST cascade with signals firing at 3:10 PM CST. The core tools for strike selection are EDR (Expected Daily Range) and RSAi (Rapid Skew AI). EDR is our proprietary TradingView indicator that blends VIX9D implied volatility with 20-day historical volatility to forecast the day's likely price range and recommend three risk-tuned strike sets. For the current market with VIX at 17.95 and SPX at 7138.80 the EDR might project a 1.16 percent range or roughly 83 points. This gives us initial wing placements such as selling the 7205/7210 call spread and the 7060/7055 put spread for the aggressive tier targeting 1.60 credit. RSAi then refines these in real time by analyzing the options skew surface VWAP positioning and short-term VIX momentum completing its calculation in about 253 milliseconds. It adjusts strikes in five-point increments until the exact premium target is met conservative at 0.70 balanced at 1.15 or aggressive at 1.60. In practice on a contango day like today with VIX below its five-day moving average of 18.58 RSAi might shift the call wing two strikes wider if skew favors it ensuring we capture the precise credit the market offers. These selections feed directly into our three risk tiers with position size capped at 10 percent of account balance. The entire process supports our set-and-forget approach with no stop losses relying instead on the Theta Time Shift for any threatened positions and the ALVH (Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge) for volatility protection. ALVH layers short 30 DTE medium 110 DTE and long 220 DTE VIX calls in a 4/4/2 ratio per ten Iron Condor contracts cutting drawdowns by 35 to 40 percent at an annual cost of only 1 to 2 percent of account value. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
