Pranav: Do you have any preferred way of segregating regimes based on vol... to avoid situations like the recent months where the market was going crazy. I dont want to avoid selling vol, because SSO IV's were high at the same time.

Total Nifty Returns in points since 2018 : 7235

Returns During High Vol Regime : 230.55

Returns During Low Vol Regime: 7004.35

Point is entire Nifty returns since 2018 came during Low Vol Regime , so stay away from markets during the High Vol Regime
