Platform — Workflow Overview

Trade. Capture. Score. Diagnose. Throttle. Review. Improve.

The operating loop

Nine stages, every week.

The modern loop runs: pre-trade verification → execution → post-trade capture → CP3 journal entry → weekly summary → EV scorecard → gate/brake review → cycle command & throttle control → volatility intelligence → structural diagnostics → regime classification → sandboxed R&D testing.

  • Pre-trade: Trade Launch Checklist — session, news, spread, gate state, branch identity. Hard failure = skip.
  • Execution & capture: Trade Capture Document filled immediately — identification, classification, risk, screenshots.
  • Saturday discipline: every trade entered into CP3 Journal from capture sheets, verified against broker records.
  • Weekly: Scorecard converts branch probabilities into EV; week tagged GREEN / YELLOW / RED.
  • Monthly: Capital Dynamics, Regime classification, SDE structural read, scenario-profile comparison.

How MARS uses this

MARS is a closed loop, not a pipeline. Trades produce evidence, evidence produces weekly grades, grades move gate state, gate state feeds the throttle, and the throttle governs what the next execution is allowed to be. No stage is optional and no stage runs on memory or mood - each one reads the outputs of the stage before it.

How it benefits you

Discipline stops depending on willpower. Because every decision point consumes the previous stage's output, skipping a step becomes visible instead of invisible - and the system keeps improving itself, since every completed loop leaves the evidence base one cycle richer than it found it.

The MARS operating loop: execute, capture, score, gate, throttle, deploy - every cycle feeding evidence into the next.

The feedback principle

02

Only validated changes get promoted.

The loop ends where most traders begin: changing rules. In MARS, a rule change is tested in the EV Lab and scenario tools first, validated against evidence, then deliberately promoted to production. Impulse edits after a losing streak are exactly what the loop exists to prevent.

Cadence

03

Daily capture. Weekly judgment. Monthly structure.

The loop runs on three clocks. Daily: trades are journaled with outcome R, hit flags, fees, and plan adherence while memory is fresh. Weekly: the Scorecard grades expectancy health, the gate and brake states are reviewed, and the EV decomposition is read branch by branch. Monthly: structural diagnostics, regime classification, and quota review judge whether the machine itself — not the month's luck — is improving, stable, or decaying.

The handoff chain

04

Every stage consumes the previous stage's output.

Nothing in the workflow runs on recollection. The journal feeds the weekly summary; the summary feeds branch EV; branch EV feeds the blend; the blend feeds the grade; the grade and drawdown feed gate state; gate state feeds the throttle; the throttle issues the directive the next execution must obey. Skip a stage and the next stage visibly starves — which is exactly how the workflow enforces itself.
