I know of one system.
When VIX is above 20, sell the 50 delta call and buy the 10 delta call. Over 90% success rate
I don't know how to code this in SF or I would for you.

Just wanted to point out that several years ago I posted "TRADING DIVERGENCES ON THE S&P 500" filters which meet all of the proposed criteria. They probably need to be reoptimized but it certainly can be done.

100 % strategy: Short and hold TVIX.

I've shorted Tvix for awhile but you can't do it for long.
It is guaranteed but doing it safely is the issue. Is there any sure way to hedge it with
options if it spikes?

You could hedge with VXX options for every 50 shares of TVIX. Or try scaling into the position.

Can you give an example on how you would set up the option trade? How far out, etc?

SHORT TVIX AND LONG VXZ when the VIX is in contango. Reverse when the VIX is in backwardation.
