Only true remaining downside counts.

Layer 01 — The accounting

Only true remaining downside counts.

Active Risk % is the loss still possible if the current stop is hit. A reduced stop means only remaining downside counts; a break-even stop means active risk is zero. Floating profit is context, never capacity. This is the professional concept that prevents blind trade stacking.

• Remaining Pool Capacity % = MAX(0, Authorized Cycle Pool − Active Open Risk).
• Exposure Pressure shows how much of the pool open trades already consume.
• Smart Capacity Mode resizes fresh trade count and per-trade risk so total exposure stays inside the pool.

Layer 02 — Where it lives

Inside Smart Open Exposure.

This page expands one card of the Smart Open Exposure page into its own reference. For orientation, the module's own framing: Many traders size the next trade as if no open risk exists. MARS refuses the fiction: if a stop hasn't reached break-even, that trade still burdens the account, and fresh deployment must resize around it.

Layer 03 — Stop-moved math

Reduced stops reduce risk. The ledger says by exactly how much.

When a stop moves to break-even, that trade's active risk becomes zero and capacity is returned to the pool immediately — not at close. The accounting rewards defensive management in real time: tightening risk on open positions literally funds the next opportunity, which aligns the incentive to manage with the incentive to deploy.
