The core idea
Discretionary execution. Quantitative governance.
A trader may still make discretionary execution decisions — but capital deployment must never be discretionary chaos. MARS measures whether trades are selected, sized, managed, logged, and interpreted correctly across daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, and structural horizons.
- Every trade routes through gate state, throttle authority, and open-exposure logic before fresh risk deploys.
- Every week is graded by expectancy — GREEN / YELLOW / RED — not by how the P&L felt.
- Every month is classified by the Regime Engine and diagnosed by the Structural Diagnostic Engine.
- Live performance is benchmarked against a 50,000-path Monte Carlo envelope — the ruler, not a fantasy target.
