Posting for Mr.Cassandra...this is an interesting approach to using VIX. I know you gave up on your recent model but, this might be of interest. I wouldn't go to cash but, rather use it as a guideline for accessing probabilities for long and short positions. Plus, I think the number I would use is 24.5 not 20. I have had a big line across my VIX chart at 24.5 for some time now. Following their advice one would not have gained or lost anything during the volatility. Personally, I prefer a volatile market.
