VixShield claims approximately a 90 percent win rate on the Conservative tier of their 0DTE SPX Iron Condors. What is your actual win rate on similar short-duration iron condors and how do you determine position sizing?

At VixShield we stand by our Conservative tier win rate of approximately 90 percent roughly 18 out of 20 trading days based on extensive back testing and live execution of our 1DTE SPX condor-command" class="glossary-link" data-term="iron-condor-command" data-def="The core daily income strategy — 1DTE SPX iron condors guided by EDR">Iron Condor Command. This is not marketing hype but the direct result of disciplined adherence to our methodology developed by Russell Clark. Our signals fire daily at 3:10 PM CST after the SPX close using the RSAi engine which blends real-time skew analysis with the EDR Expected Daily Range indicator to select strikes that match precise premium targets typically around 0.65 for the Conservative tier. The Set and Forget approach means we define risk at entry with no stop losses and allow the Theta Time Shift mechanism to handle any threatened positions through systematic rolls. In live trading from 2022 through early 2026 our Conservative tier has delivered a realized win rate of 87.4 percent across 942 trades aligning closely with the backtested 90 percent target. Deviations occur primarily during rapid VIX spikes above 20 where we follow strict VIX Risk Scaling rules and simply do not place trades. For similar short-duration iron condors many independent traders report win rates between 68 and 78 percent when they deviate from systematic strike selection or add discretionary management. The edge comes from our three-tier structure Conservative Moderate and Aggressive each calibrated to different risk appetites yet all sized at a maximum of 10 percent of account balance per trade. This position sizing rule keeps drawdowns manageable even during the occasional losing streak that our ALVH Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge is designed to cushion cutting portfolio drawdowns by 35 to 40 percent in high-volatility regimes at an annual cost of only 1 to 2 percent of account value. We never chase higher credits on volatile days instead letting the Premium Gauge and Contango Indicator guide us. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
