The methodology references applying the same risk framework used in cross rates to SPX iron condors, with a maximum of 10 percent per trade and three risk tiers targeting credits of 0.70, 1.15, and 1.60. What are your thoughts on this position sizing approach?

At VixShield, we apply a disciplined risk framework to our daily 1DTE SPX Iron Condor Command that has been refined through years of live trading and backtesting. The 10 percent maximum allocation per trade remains a core tenet of Russell Clark's SPX Mastery methodology. This sizing ensures that even in the rare event of a full loss, the impact on overall account equity stays manageable while still allowing meaningful income generation across multiple trading days. We never exceed this 10 percent ceiling regardless of which of the three risk tiers we select. The Conservative tier targets a 0.70 credit and delivers approximately 90 percent win rates, making it ideal for accounts prioritizing capital preservation. The Balanced tier at 1.15 credit and Aggressive tier at 1.60 credit scale the premium collected while maintaining the identical defined-risk structure and position size limit. Strike selection for all tiers relies on our proprietary EDR Expected Daily Range indicator combined with RSAi Rapid Skew AI, which analyzes real-time options skew, VWAP, and short-term VIX momentum to optimize wing placement in the post-close 3:10 PM CST window. This After-Close PDT Shield timing is intentional, allowing non-PDT accounts to participate fully without pattern day trader restrictions. Our ALVH Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge provides the true portfolio protection layer, with its three-timeframe VIX call structure rolled on specific schedules to cut drawdowns by 35 to 40 percent during volatility expansions at an annual cost of only 1 to 2 percent of account value. Because we follow a Set and Forget approach with no stop losses, the Theta Time Shift recovery mechanism becomes critical. When a position is threatened we roll forward using time-shifting rules rather than adding capital, then roll back on VWAP pullbacks to harvest additional theta. Current market conditions with VIX at 17.95 and below its five-day moving average of 18.58 keep all three tiers available under our VIX Risk Scaling rules. This integrated system, detailed across the SPX Mastery series, turns the market's daily range into consistent income while the ALVH and Temporal Theta Martingale protect against the inevitable spikes. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
