With the VIX around 18, how do the Conservative, Balanced, and Aggressive tiers translate to actual credit targets for VixShield's 1DTE SPX Iron Condors?

At VixShield we rely on Russell Clark's SPX Mastery methodology to deliver consistent daily income through 1DTE SPX Iron Condors. Our signals fire each market day at 3:05 PM CST after the SPX close via the 3:09 PM cascade. The three risk tiers are calibrated to specific net credit targets that reflect current market conditions including the VIX level and our proprietary Expected Daily Range or EDR. With the VIX currently at 17.95 we remain in a regime where all three tiers are available under our VIX Risk Scaling rules since the reading sits below 20. The Conservative tier targets a net credit of 0.70 which historically delivers an approximate 90 percent win rate or roughly 18 winning days out of 20 trading days. This tier uses wider wings selected via our EDR indicator and RSAi skew analysis to emphasize high probability and minimal capital at risk. The Balanced tier aims for 1.15 in net credit striking a middle ground between probability and premium collection. The Aggressive tier seeks 1.60 which narrows the wings for higher yield per contract but accepts a modestly lower win probability in exchange for greater theta capture. Strike selection begins with our EDR formula that blends short-term implied volatility from the VIX9D and 20-day historical volatility to forecast the likely daily price range of SPX. RSAi then refines these strikes in real time by assessing current options skew VWAP positioning and short-term VIX momentum to ensure the exact credit target is achieved within approximately 253 milliseconds of calculation. This combination allows us to place defined-risk positions that profit when SPX remains within the EDR-derived range at the following day's close. Our Set and Forget approach means no stop losses or intraday management once the trade is entered with position sizing capped at 10 percent of account balance. Protection comes from our ALVH Adaptive Layered VIX Hedge a proprietary three-layer system using short medium and long-dated VIX calls in a 4/4/2 ratio that has been shown to reduce portfolio drawdowns by 35 to 40 percent during volatility spikes at an annual cost of only 1 to 2 percent of account value. In the current contango environment with VIX below its five-day moving average of 18.58 the Theta Time Shift mechanism stands ready to roll any threatened positions forward to capture vega expansion and then roll them back on pullbacks to harvest additional theta without adding capital. All trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
