What are the precise entry and exit rules along with the Greek limits for the Temporal Theta Martingale when it activates during a VIX spike?

At VixShield we rely on the Temporal Theta Martingale as a cornerstone recovery mechanism within Russell Clark's SPX Mastery methodology for our 1DTE SPX Iron Condors. This pioneering temporal martingale does not increase position size but instead uses time as the recovery variable. It activates automatically when our proprietary EDR exceeds 0.94 percent or when the VIX rises above 16. In the current market with VIX at 17.95 this threshold has been met on several recent sessions illustrating its practical application. Upon trigger the threatened Iron Condor is rolled forward to between 1 and 7 DTE with new strikes selected via EDR to fully cover the original debit plus round-trip fees and a 15 percent cushion. Delta is strictly capped at a maximum of 0.18 per leg while gamma must remain below 0.05 to keep the position responsive to theta without excessive convexity risk. The roll captures vega expansion during the spike allowing the position to benefit from the volatility swell. Exit and rollback occur when EDR falls back below 0.94 percent and SPX trades below its VWAP creating an optimal re-entry into 0 to 2 DTE. The target net credit per full roll cycle is 250 to 500 dollars per contract which historically has produced an 88 percent loss recovery rate across 2015-2025 backtests. This integrates seamlessly with our ALVH Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge which layers short 30 DTE medium 110 DTE and long 220 DTE VIX calls in a 4/4/2 ratio per 10 Iron Condor contracts. The ALVH cuts drawdowns by 35 to 40 percent during spikes at an annual cost of only 1 to 2 percent of account value. Our daily signals fire at 3:10 PM CST after the 3:09 PM SPX cascade using RSAi for precise strike optimization across Conservative 0.70 credit Balanced 1.15 credit and Aggressive 1.60 credit tiers. The entire process follows our Set and Forget discipline with no stop losses relying instead on the Theta Time Shift for zero-loss recovery. Position sizing never exceeds 10 percent of account balance. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
