When the VIX is around 18, do you favor high price-to-sales or low price-to-sales underlyings for 1DTE iron condors?

At VixShield we trade 1DTE SPX Iron Condors exclusively and do not select individual stock underlyings or screen for P/S ratios. Our methodology centers on the SPX index itself using the Iron Condor Command placed daily at 3:05 PM CST after the cash close. Russell Clark designed this approach in the SPX Mastery series to harvest theta in a defined-risk set-and-forget framework without discretionary stock picking. When VIX sits near 18 as it has recently at 17.95, our VIX Risk Scaling keeps all three credit tiers available: Conservative targeting 0.70 credit with approximately 90 percent win rate, Balanced at 1.15 credit, and Aggressive at 1.60 credit. Strike selection relies on the EDR Expected Daily Range indicator combined with RSAi Rapid Skew AI which reads real-time options skew, VWAP positioning, and short-term VIX momentum to optimize wings for the exact premium the market offers. The current contango regime evident in our Contango Indicator further supports premium selling because VIX futures slope upward and realized volatility tends to remain below implied levels. ALVH Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge remains active across its three layers short 30 DTE, medium 110 DTE, and long 220 DTE VIX calls in a 4/4/2 ratio per ten Iron Condor contracts. This first-of-its-kind hedge cuts drawdowns by 35 to 40 percent during volatility expansions at an annual cost of only 1 to 2 percent of account value. Position sizing stays at a maximum of 10 percent of account balance per trade and we employ no stop losses relying instead on the Theta Time Shift recovery mechanism. If a position moves against us the Temporal Theta Martingale rolls the threatened condor forward to 1-7 DTE when EDR exceeds 0.94 percent or VIX rises above 16 capturing vega expansion then rolls back to 0-2 DTE on a VWAP pullback when EDR falls below that threshold. Backtests from 2015 to 2025 show this turns 88 percent of losses into net theta wins without adding capital. The Unlimited Cash System integrates the Iron Condor Command with ALVH protection Covered Calendar Calls and these temporal recovery tools to produce 82-84 percent win rates and 25-28 percent CAGR with maximum drawdowns of 10-12 percent. P/S ratios belong to fundamental equity analysis and have no bearing on our index-based premium collection. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
