On correlation and hedging

Still trying to wrap my head around effective hedging with negatively correlated assets. Does anyone have a preferred method or specific metrics they track beyond just the correlation coefficient itself, particularly when looking at intra-day $SPX and $VIX moves?

For intraday SPX/VIX, I find tracking the spread between the VIX futures (front month) and spot VIX more useful than just the correlation. It often gives a clearer signal for potential short-term volatility spikes or dips, especially when considering hedging strategies.
