📚 Teaching moment: SPX breached the wing by just 1.1 points. This is where our ALVH (VIX Hedge Vanguard) cushions the loss — VIX spikes when markets move this fast, turning hedge premium into partial offset.

📚 Loss — and we show it. VIX spiked as SPX blew past the Balanced wing (7.9 pts from the wing). Our ALVH hedge activates precisely here, buying back a portion of max loss via long VIX exposure. Money management lesson: defined-risk means you know your max before you enter.

🎯 Squeaker — but still a win (2.6 pts from the wing). Aggressive held its ground as SPX tested the wing. This is where wing width discipline matters: wider wings = more cushion on volatile days.

Why no trade today? VIX Entry Gate or EDR signal was not met. When gates are elevated, cash is the position. Staying out is a decision — and sometimes the best one.
Teaching moment: Iron condors thrive in low-volatility, range-bound markets. When VIX is elevated or market expected moves are too wide, the edge disappears. Discipline means skipping the bad setups.
